Math:
In class today we continued looking at transformations but began to use a combination of different transformations. I have also created an anchor chart in class to help students remember the different transformations that we are using. This unit is a tricky one for many students as it requires a lot of visualization. For students struggling at home, I suggest that you take a spare piece of paper and cut out the same shape, so that they have a manipulative to help them see the different transformations, then see what the image looks after a transformation occurs.
UOI: Government
Today had a mock debate! I had the class split in half and argue for or against homework. Students did well working with their group and by the end of the lesson I was seeing some amazing critical thinking being done. Tomorrow students will researching about the type of government I have assigned them in class today. In small groups they will then start to create arguments with evidence to suggest why their type of government is best for a country.
Later next week we will have two debates in class to see their knowledge!
Busy discussing their counter agruments!
Today we also had reading buddies!!!
