Homework:
Prime Time ws. pg. 12, 13 (a two-sided worksheet)
(Blocks E, F, B: skip number 10 a and b)

Computer Lab

We were in the computer lab for our math class today. We took a quick look at the factor game, and tried to develop strategies to 'beat' the computer at the game! Be thinking about your strategies, because tomorrow you will have a chance to challenge a human opponent.



Homework:
Clean out the 'daily work and notes' section of your binder. Please place all of that work in a folder and keep it at home. We may need to take a second look at some of those papers later in the year, so please don't lose them.

Quiz/Test today

Today we are having our quiz! I know everyone will do well!!


Homework:
Dr. Math questions. Answer three of the questions. Please follow the directions and answer them in letter form in complete sentences on a separate piece of paper or on the back.

Review For Quiz

Today we reviewed for the quiz we are having tomorrow.

Sum of the interior angles of a polygon

Today we calculated the sum of the interior angles of several polygons and derived a formula (number sentence) to help us find the sum no matter how many sides a polygon has. This formula is (n - 2) times 180, with n being the number of sides of the polygon.

Homework:
Unit Review Packet


The homework is review for the QUIZ we are having on WEDNESDAY this week. We will be reviewing concepts tomorrow in preparation for the quiz. Please plan to stay after school Tuesday, or come for extra help before school on Tuesday or Wednesday if you are having difficulty preparing for the quiz.
Concepts that will be on the quiz:
lines
angles
triangles (classifying)
polygons
symmetry
congruence and similarity
transformations, drawing shapes on the coordinate grid
three-dimensional figures, faces, edges, vertices
sum of interior angles of a polygon

Prisms, pyramids and Euler's formula

Today we counted the number of faces, edges and vertices of prisms and pyramids, and checked our work with Euler's formula ( Vertices - Edges + Faces = 2 ).
E Block came up with a saying to help remember the formula: Visitors Empty food but add Fun. Hopefully that's helpful!

Homework:
Ws. Identifying 3-Dimensional shapes. Name each shape, then count the number of faces, edges and vertices in each one. Use Euler's formula to check your accuracy.

Platonic Solids, Prisms and Pyramids

Today we talked about platonic solids, prisms and pyramids. We counted faces, edges and vertices. The top two websites are the ones we visited in class today.
