Lesson

Today we woked on teselations and got to make some. We also learne a little about transformational symetry, rotational symetry, and reflectional symetry we also got to see a little of how M.C. Escher makes his teselations. Mr. Tubbs gave us pattern blocks and gave us a shape and we had to tesselate it.

Example

If you look below at the second picture we had to use the middle shape and tesselate it.

About Mohammed Ali

Mohammed Ali was said to be one the best boxers in world history.

Mohammed was born on January 17, 1942, and with the name Cassius Marcellus clay Jr.  Ali was born in Louiville, Kentucky, and in 1999 Ali was crowned "sportsman of the century" by sports illustrated.  Ali won the world heavyweight Boxing chanpionship three times, and won the North American Boxing federation championship as well as an olympic medal.  Ali was named after his father Cassius Marcellus clay Sr. (who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician Cassius Clay).  Ali later changed his name after joining the nation of Islam, and subsequently converted to Sunni Islam in 1975.

Learning Target

The learning target today was rounding fractions and mixed numbers to the nearest half.

Lesson

1.  Look at the numerator and if it is a lot under half of the denominator than round down to zero.

Ex.  8/27=0

2. If the numerator is below half, but is still pretty close to half round up to half.

Ex.12/27=1/2

3.  If the numerator is above half of the denominator, but is still pretty close to half round down to half.

Ex.  19/27=1/2

4.  If the numerator is above half of the denominator, but is closer to the number that is the denominator than round up to 1.

Ex. 20/27=1

5.  You do not always round to 1,0,or 1,2. You round to the whole number that is the denominator.

Ex. 20/27=27

• Use  strategies  to develop formulas  for finding the circomfrence  of a circle.

Lesson

• In class we studied the circumfrence of a circle.
• We found out that the circumfrence of a circle should always be close to π.

Problem

• 12.344*3.14= 38.76016

circumfrence of a circle 

Learning Target

Estemate sums and differences using decimals.

Exeample

59.44+87.54=

59+88=147

round to nearest whole number

83.73-32.62=

84-33=51

round to nearest whole number

Brief Lesson

To estemate sums and differences you have to round your decimals to the nerest whole number. then add or subtract.
