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
