Geometry!!

We are now entering our Geometry unit (both grade 7 & 8) in all three classes.  You can see a brief unit overview here.  We will be exploring angles, shapes, geometric attributes for 2- & 3-D figures, and learn to construct and manipulate these figures using a variety of tools, especially compass, ruler, protractor, and etc.

What are some of your background knowledge in Geometry?  What have your learned in the past? What do you wish to clarify this time around?  What are some of the challenges your have experienced in the past learning?  Share with us and we can learn from each other!

To parents:  You can get involved!  Simply start a conversation about how tools of measurements are used in your daily life and around the household.  You can also share what you know (ie. constructing a shape) with your children.

Students will also start constructing Google Sites that outline/document our learning in this unit!  Stay tuned!
