Virtual Websites for math

Good Evening:  

Tonight's homework consists of 2 interactive models to practice what we are learning in class: Geometric figures and their measures.

Go to the link on the top right of the blog and click on USU Virtual Math.  Then go to the section marked by Geometry and 6-8th grades.  You will use 2 activities to accomplish some investigation and then answer a challenge question.  

Activity 1:  Areas of irregular shapes

LINK 

Alternate website if the above doesn't work properly.  Normally you can download the JAVA and it will go when you restart the computer.  But here is the other one.  

ANOTHER INTERACTIVE GEOBOARD

1st Explore and see what you can create.  I suggest you "clear" the board and see what you can draw with the "bands".  The more you play the easier the assignment will be.  

If you don't know a vocabulary word go to this site.

MATH DICTIONARY

2nd Try to create the following shapes.  

• Draw each answer
• Label its height and base
• write the area you find

1.  Draw an acute triangle with the area 3
2.  Draw a rectangle with area 10
3.  Draw a parallelogram with area 25
4.  Draw a trapezoid with area 18
5.  Draw an isosceles triangle with area 10.5
6.  Draw a hexagon with area 25
7.  Draw a decagon with area 16
8.  Draw a rhombus with area 6
9.  Draw a right triangle with area 50
10.  Draw a scalene triangle with area 10
11.  Draw a triangle that is scalene and right 
            with area 28
12.  Draw a triangle that is obtuse and isosceles 
            with area 6
13.  Draw an octacagon with area 14
14.  Draw a dodecagon with area 18
15.  Draw a square with area 26

GOOD LUCK & HAVE FUN

Check out the other geometry websites if you have time for any level.

El Teoría de las Inteligencias Multiples

Good Morning everyone:

I would like you to use EDUSS and Utah Write this weekend.  Don't forget about the incentives.  It is really important that you prepare for the state writing assessment and this is a great way to see where you currently are.  Thank you to those that have already taken a test online.  And EDUSS will also let us know what you know and what you still need to learn to be ready for 6th grade.

You are all awesome!  I hope that you are not still too mad for being Guinea pigs in the social Colonial experiment.  We will discuss how the same things happened to the colonists and how many did choose to rebel against King George even though they loved being English. 

The main item for you to do is to do the Multiple Intelligence analysis.  Please go to the following website and then follow these steps:  Have fun!

Multiple Intelligence Test link 





Step 1:   Take the test yourself.
Step 2:    Print the test (or save the file or write the number at the bottom to turn in)

Step 3:    Have your parents take the test for you.  (It can be interesting to see what others think of you)
Step 4:    Have your mother take the test.  (for herself, you will use this to compare to your own test)
Step 5:   Have your father take the test.  (for himself.  you will use this to compare to your mother and to you.)


Just a quick note that any member of your family will work, but you will get more information about genetics and heredity if you use your mother/father and grandparents to do this.


Step 6:  Use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the tests and the forms of intelligences that exist in your family.  Here is a link if you need help to come up with an idea to create a graph.  Also write to me about your graph and tell me what you have discovered. 


Again, have a great time.  And expect other family activities throughout the month similar to this one.
