Compass homework

If students do not already have a compass (math set), it would be beneficial for them to purchase one this weekend. We will be using them in the construction of geometric shapes in math. The homework I have assigned for this weekend is for students to play around with their compass to get used to using it. Students should spend some time trying to draw lots of circles and arcs with them, maybe doodles or art, so that they become familiar with using their new tool.

Math Test Tomorrow

Gr. 5 Students will need to: -identify angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight -Use a protractor to measure angles up to 90 degrees -Use a protractor to construct angles up to 180 degrees -Identify polygons by their attributes -Identify whether polygons are regular or irregular -Identify triangles by their sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) -Identify triangles by their angles (right, acute, obtuse) -Construct triangles by the given angle measurement and side measurements (such as triangle ABC where angle A= 90 degrees, side BA= 3cm and side CA= 5cm) Gr. 6 Students will need to: -identify angles as right, straight, obtuse, or acute -Use protractors to measure angles up to 180 degrees -Use protractors to construct angles up to 180 degrees -Sort quadrilaterals by symmetry, angles, and sides (side length and parallel) -Sort polygons by the lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry -Construct triangles and quadrilaterals given the angles measurements a...
