Our grade 7 and 8 students have already completed their study of central tendency (ie: calculating mean, median, and mode), and have looked at the properties of triangles (grade 7), and circles (grade 8) through investigation.

| Discovering the relationship between RADIUS and AREA |
Through investigation, the grade 8s looked at how calculating the
SURFACE AREA of a
CYLINDER is not much different than calculating that of a simple
RECTANGLE!
 |
| LEGNTH = CIRCUMFERENCE (pi x d), and WIDTH = HEIGHT! |
Both grade 7s and 8s have now moved on to learning how to
convert units.
FINALLY...
Our students are using spatial awareness activities to help them visualize their math as they work their way through a variety of problems. If you can see it, you can do it!
