This is just a reminder that this week is a shortened week where we will not have school on Friday and students have an early release day on Thursday. This means that Monday will have a "Tuesday-style" schedule, Tuesday, will have a "Wednesday-style" schedule, Wednesday will have a "Thursday-style" schedule, and Thursday will have a modified "Friday-style" schedule. Our third quarter grades will also be posted on Thursday afternoon.
Unit 10: Area
This week, students will start our study on "Area". This unit will contain the most practical knowledge that students may need to use in day-to-day life. Our work on "Area" is especially helpful when it comes to home remodeling and DIY projects. During this unit, we will focus on practical applications such as calculating the surface area of a room and calculating the cost of paint.
On Monday of this week, we will focus in on calculating the area of rectangles, triangles and parallelograms. On Tuesday, we will focus on calculating the area of kites, rhombuses and trapezoids, and on Wednesday we will focus on calculating the area of regular polygons. We will also have a design project to work on throughout this unit. We will talk about the details of this project later this week.
