Unit of Inquiry
Today
we continued our government summative. In groups, students are responsible for
creating a new country. They will need to include a flag, a motto and of course
they type of government they are. Summatives are due on Tuesday, March 5th.
Presentations will begin Tuesday, March 5th and continue on
Wednesday, March 6th. See below the groups for the government
summative.

Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we took up our math review and played Kahoot as our final review Our math test will take place tomorrow, Friday,
March 1st.
Points to remember:
The
perimeter is the outside of a
figure. For any polygon, you can find the perimeter by adding the side lengths.
When finding the perimeter of a parallelogram, we can use a formula of P = (l + w) x 2! **To change mm to cm you will need
to divide by 10 – move the decimal one spot to the left. For example, 108 mm
would become 10.8 cm.**
To
find the perimeter of a rectangle,
we use the following formula – P = (l +
w) x 2. To find the area of a rectangle, we use the formula
– A = l x w. Don’t forget that when
you convert a measure of area from square metres to square centimetres, each
dimension is multiplied by 100, so the area is multiplied by 100 x 100, or 10,
000.
Parallelograms: Any side of a
parallelogram is a base. The height of the parallelogram is the
length of a line segment that joins parallel sides and is perpendicular to the
base. In order to find the area of a
parallelogram, we use the following formula: A = b x h. For example, 13 cm x 15 cm = 195 cm squared. When we are
given an area and asked to find the height or base, we do the opposite. We take
the area and divide by either the height or base. For example, A = 60 m squared
and base is 12 m, then 60/12 = 5 m, therefore the height is 5 m.
To
find the area of a triangle we use
the following formula – A = (b x h) / 2. The area of a triangle is one-half the
area of a rectangle with the same base and height. For example, A = (2 x 6)/2 =
12/2 = 6 units squared. Please note that any side of a triangle can be its
base. **The area of a triangle if one-half the area of a rectangle or
parallelogram with the same base and height.**
**Remember
when calculating area to use units squared.**
To
find the volume of a triangular prism, we
must first find the area of a triangular face, which is A = (b x h)/2. Once we have the area, we can find the volume of the
triangular prism, which is A = base area
x height. For example, if a triangular prism has a base of 6 cm and a
height of 4 cm, with a base height of 10 cm then step one is A = (b x h)/2 = (6
x 4)/2 = 24/2 = 12 cm squared. Therefore the base area is 12 cm squared. Now we
can find the volume = base area x height = 12 x 10 = 120 cm cubed.
**Remember
that when talking volume we use units cubes.**
Surface area of a
triangular prism - before we begin, you have to lay flat the
triangular prism. Step 1 is to find
the area of each of the 2 triangular faces- (b x h)/2 . Step 2 is to find the area of the 3 rectangles – l x w. Step 3 is to add both step 1 and step 2
together. Please see examples below.
