This week in Math/Sci

Hello Grade 8's

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend!

This week in math we will be continuing to work with surface area of 3-dimensional shapes. This will lead up to a surface area quiz on Thursday, Oct. 17 which will cover nets, squares, triangular prisms, pyramids and word problems. A reminder that the L-Blocks worksheet will be due on Thursday, Oct. 17.

Here are some of the equations that we have derived in class. It will be handy to know these for Thursday.

This week in science, we will look into the particle model of matter. Your journal entry on your opinion of the environmental platform of each major political party is due on Friday, Oct. 18. Questions you need to answer can be found on the last slide of today's slideshow.

It may be a short week, but we'll be able to take full advantage of it!

I'll see you tomorrow,

Mr. Badr
