This week we practised plotting points in the coordinate grid (Gr 5 in the first quadrant and Gr 6 in all four quadrants) and reviewed translations & reflections. We also tackled rotations, which are traditionally a harder part of the math curriculum for students. We really focussed on growth mindset and being kind to ourselves: for MANY students, rotations are quite difficult to see. So, we'll keep that in mind, try our best, and know that if we're struggling with this topic, we're not alone! Students enjoyed a three day rotation, which included 1) Transformation Battleship, 2) an online review activity (found in Google Classroom) and 3) transformation task cards. See below for photos of the fun! Below are some photos of our rotation learning: If your child would like more practise on transformations, reflections and rotations, feel free to review this video and try these tasks below:

Mrs JorgensenI love math and think math jokes are funny. Not all of them though - just sum. Archives
