We took our first geometry quiz last week from Unit A. After Ms. Korkus and I analyzed the results, we thought it would be beneficial to reteach a few of the concepts and give the students an additional opportunity to increase their scores. With that said, we will retake our first practice quiz tomorrow, October 18th to help solidify these very important geometry concepts.
Tonight's geometry homework is A-6. This assignment reviews perimeter and area of complex figures. We are learning and reviewing the concept of perimeter, and relating the fact that it is similar to building a fence around the shape. We relate area to the number of units inside a figure, similar to imagining the shape being tiled like a floor. It is important to remember that area is labeled in square units (i.e. square yards, square kilimeters, etc.)
Here are some freebies for this week's homework:
Tonight's math homework is page A-6. Number 3 is a complex figure that looks like the letter "U". ***Don't forget to add the missing 2 sides that are not labeled when finding the perimeter and area. The perimeter ends up being 52 cm, with the addition of the missing sides, 6cm and 3cm. The area totals up to 78 square cm. Remember to divvy the complex figure into 3 shapes, find the area of each, then add the 3 areas all together.
