We have been working on our CASTLE PROJECT.
By now, students have completed their castle designs and are well into building their castle models. Our goal is to be working on our calculations by the end of this week - and finishing up next week, so that we can move forward into our FINAL project of the semester :)

Over the past couple of weeks we have explored the world of triangles and are now shifting into our Measurement and Conversions unit!
We eased our way in with area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles and we are now starting our next big project.....CASTLES! Students will design and build castles that must include numerous 3D geometrical shapes. They will be required to calculate the volume and surface area of these shapes as well as convert some of their measurements from inches to centimeters. It's going to be fun! :) We have been exploring the world of trigonometry SOH CAH TOA this week and will continue to do so for the rest of the week!
