Math Test - Friday (am)

This coming Friday, the grade 6 students will be writing their Geometry test. The test will include the following topics:

  • measuring, drawing, and estimating angles up to 180 degrees
  • sorting polygons using lines of symmetry and order of rotational symmetry
  • classifying and constructing triangles
  • classifying and constructing quadrilaterals
On Wednesday and Thursday, we will be completing review questions in class. Students are encouraged to read through their Geometry notebooks throughout this week. If students would like any clarification or extra help on any of the topics, I am available to meet with them during recess or after school on any day except for Wednesday.

The picture shown in this post is of our anchor chart for quadrilaterals - students will have similar chart in their math notebooks. 

Here are some helpful online links that students can use to practice the concepts at home:

Measuring Angles (ThatQuiz - set to Level 8 and click "Measure")
Estimating Angles (Squirt the Dog OR Angle Angles)
Lines of Symmetry (Symmetry Game OR Shape Lab - click on "Really Hard")
Sorting Shapes (BBC Shapes - this also includes 3D shapes)
Classifying Quadrilaterals (Math Interactive OR Quadrilateral Quest)
