Students explore proportional relationships in a variety of real-world contexts and make comparisons using representations such as tables, equations, and graphs.
Advanced Math: 2nd Quarter
Ms. Ridler:
This week we are finishing up our unit on triangles. Students have explored the triangle sum theorem, congruence triangle theorems, and determined the number of triangles possible to draw given three-measures of sides or angles. Next, students will examine and create scaled copies of figures, as well as explore scale drawings of real-life objects. Students study dilations and similar figures. They use similar triangles to explain, understand, and apply the concept of slope.
Language Arts: 2nd Quarter
Mrs. Anderson: We are reviewing theme and taking an assessment on how to analyze this topic. We will then move on to our class novel, "Harbor Me".
