CORRECT YOUR HOMEWORK!

Grade fours continued to identify properties of quadrilaterals. A few new properties.....

• Lines of symmetry (number)
• Diagonals (equal or unequal)

The "Line of Symmetry" is the imaginary line where you could fold the image and have both halves match exactly.

A diagonal is a line segment that goes from one corner to another, but is not a side.

We will practice symmetry more with the Miras this week.
Other properties include....

• Equal sides
• Parallel sides
• Right angles

For homework do the following for each quadrilateral on your quadrilateral tree:

• Draw an example using a ruler
• Label equal sides, right  angles, lines of symmetry and parallel sides using the correct symbols
• Name the quadrilateral (all possible names)
• List the properties you labeled in words

e.g. for a square.....

• 4 equal sides
• 4 lines of symmetry
• 4 right angles
• Opposite sides parallel
• 2 equal diagonals

Grade 5 we classified triangles according to length of sides.

Your Turn questions are about classification according the angle size and textbook work is about classification according to side length. Do not guess. Use a RULER to measure side lengths.

Religion
Once again we talked about John the Baptist. What happened to John once he showed everyone Jesus?

What was the main idea of the Gospel reading? Why did John send his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the Messiah they had been waiting for? Why was Jesus not what the Hebrew people expected?

Social Studies
Today we began to discuss rights and responsibilities. What are rights?

Rights are things to which you are entitled or allowed; freedoms that are guaranteed.

Here is the link we watched in class:

What rights do you have as a student at St. Nicholas? With rights come responsibilities. What responsibilities do you have with respect to those rights? We will continue our discussion tomorrow.
