Sixth Grade
Literature - There will be a Selection Test over "Sarah Tops" tomorrow. Be sure you have reviewed the story and the essay question.
Math - Lesson 63. Polygons. Remember that the sides of all regular polygons are the same length. If you are given the perimeter of a regular polygon, you can divide the perimeter by the number of sides in the polygon. For example, if the perimeter of a regular pentagon was 150 cm, you could find out how long each side was by dividing 150 by 5 since all pentagons have 5 sides. The answer would be 30 cm for each side.
Spelling - No homework!
Seventh Grade
Literature - Chapter 25 questions from Treasure Island
Math - Lesson 62. Triangles. Remember that you can classify a triangle by its sides and by its angles.
By angles:
Right Triangle - One angle is a right angle. The other two angles will be acute.
Acute Triangle - All three angles are acute.
Obtuse Triangle - One angle will be obtuse. The other two angles will be acute.
By sides:
Equilateral Triangle - All sides are the same length. (All angles will also be the same measure - 60 degrees - and this will also be an acute triangle.)
Isosceles Triangle - Two sides are the same length - also the two angles opposite those two sides will be the same measure.
Scalene Triangle - No sides are the same.
Eighth Grade
