Hi wonderful parents (and anyone else who reads this),
This week we looked at how the area of a rectangle could change, but the perimeter could stay the same. We also looked at how we could keep the perimeter of a rectangle the same, but change its area. We ended the week learning a strategy called generic rectangles for multiplying multi-digit numbers. It is a strategy the reinforces area as well as helping students learn how to decompose numbers to multiply them faster.
Here are some upcoming events this week that affect our class time together:
Monday is an early release day, students with a 7th period get out at 1:10.
Tuesday is our chapter 2 test
Wednesday and Thursday are academic conferences so school is shortened. Students with a 7th period get out at 12:30, or they can stay for lunch and get out at 1:00.
Friday is a regular day, thank goodness :-)
See uprep.net for the complete conference day schedule.
