Grade 6: June 8/9/10 Transformations

Good day Grade6!

This is the last week we will be posted content for you to do at home; however you can access the content during the summer if you so choose.

1. Watch the lesson SLIDES AND FLIPS and do the activities http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mesg/html/math6web/index.html

2. Slides= Translations

Flips= Reflections

In addition to these 2 transformations there is one called a rotation.

3. Go to that quiz and try the quiz on identifying the type of transformation.

4. Unit 8 p.288 in your textbook deals with transformations.

You can try p.293 Q. 1,2

Read CONNECT on p.296-297 p.299 Q.3

Read connect p.304-306 p.306 Q. 3,5

Read p.309 Connect p.311 Q.5, 6 ,8

Read p. 314 Connect p. 315-316 Q. 1, 5

Create a design using transformations and describe the transformations you used, take a picture and send it to me shaun.fletcher@nbed.nb.ca

Or find some designs in your house the having transformations. Like the picture attached.

Grade 6 : June 3/4/5 Probabilty

1. Watch the lesson from spyguys again. (See last post)

2. Read p. 277 on Experimental probability

p.278 Q. 1,2, 3, 5 (if you have a die try the experiment or use https://www.random.org/dice/?num=1)

On p.281 there is a game you can play with a family member . Send me an email to let me know how it went shaun.fletcher@nbed.nb.ca

Grade 8: May 25/26 Algebra

Watch the video on solving a simple equation.

1. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-equations-expressions/pre-algebra-one-step-add-sub-equationss/v/adding-and-subtracting-the-same-thing-from-both-sides

2. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-equations-expressions/pre-algebra-one-step-mult-div-equations/v/simple-equations

3. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-equations-expressions/pre-algebra-one-step-mult-div-equations/v/solving-one-step-equations-2

Points to remember:

When asked to solve an equation, your goal is to find the value for the variable (x)
You want to isolate (get it by itself on one side of the equation) the variable
Each step you take must preserve equality (meaning what you do to one side of the equation, you must do the same to the other side)
Verify means to check that when you substitute your solution back into the equation, both sides of the equation are equal

In your text book, you can try p.331 Q. 5, 6 (just solve don't worry about the model), Q.8, Q.11 Q.12 The solutions are on p. 520.

If you don't have your textbook, I can send you an email with some practice. Just email me shaun.fletcher@nbed.nb.ca to ask for questions.

Grade 6 May 25/26 Ratio Concepts

There are 3 worksheets attached with answers.

1. lowest term ratios- write the ratios in lowest terms by dividing both terms by the same number

ex. 15:25 look for a common factor of 15 and 25. Both can be divided by 5 to get 3: 5 . 3:5 is the ratio in lowest terms because 3 and 5 do not have a common factor to divide by.

2. creating equivalent ratios- find the number that is multiplied or divided by one term to get the other terms. Do the same to the other term to find the missing term of the ratio

ex. 3: 4 = 6: __ The first term is multiplied by two to get 6 in the second ratio, so multiply 4 by the same factor (X2) to get 8 for the missing term.

3. understanding ratio problems- Set up the ratios, find equivalent ratio and write solutions in lowest terms

ex. The ratio of dogs to cats is 7:3. If there are 35 dogs, how many cats?

Set up:

Dogs: Cats

7 : 4

35 : __

7 is multiplied by 5 to get 35, therefore multiply 4 by 5 to get the equivalent ratio.

There are 20 cats.
