Math - Patterns unit test is on Thursday. Please follow the review on the blog. As part of the review, you should be going over every lesson, question, task, etc. that we have done in class. If you have kept your notebook organized, it should not be difficult to go back and review :) (Test Thursday)
Math - Please come prepared to explain why the area of a parallelogram is bxh. We discussed in class the ideas of moving one triangle in the shape to the other side to create a rectangle. We also explained how you can use the area of a triangle (bxh/2) to explain why bxh works for a parallelogram. Please come tomorrow having sought to understand exactly why these two explanations can prove that bxh works as the area of a parallelogram. (Due tomorrow)
Literacy - The following are the articles that we have been examining regarding the Washington Redskins controversy. They are here for if you would like to review at any point.
