Math Report April 10

Students learned about finding areas of basic shapes like rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles using formulas involving length and width or base and height. They also covered plotting and reading coordinates on a grid, as well as finding opposite points along the x- or y-axis. Students practiced these skills through games with coordinates and word problems involving finding missing values for shapes given their perimeters.

5th grade math

These are the things students learned in the last two weeks: How to find areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles How to find the height of triangles or parallelograms height height

Plotting ordered number pairs (coordinates) on a grid Reading coordinates of points on a grid Finding the coordinates of the opposite point on a grid Examples: The opposite point of (3, 8) along the y-axis is (-3, 8). The opposite point of (3, 8) along the x-axis is (3, -8).

Students played a game using coordinates. Students solved problems like these: 1) There is a square whose perimeter is 14.8cm. What is its area? 2) There is a rectangle whose perimeter is 28.8 m. Its length is twice as long as its width. Find its width, length, and area. width ________ length ________ area _________
