This week we have continued working on using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for unknown side lengths of right triangles. We will work on word problems and another pile up on Monday and that will pretty much wrap up this unit.
In Science, we started Complex machines today and are brainstorming ideas to build a Rube Goldberg Machine! We will need supplies brought in by Friday, December 14th (watch for an email about that). All the grade 8s will participate in this design challenge the last week before the break.
Reminders: Square/Square Root/Pythagorean Test on Thursday Dec 12.
Pythagorean Pile Up #2 is due on Monday.
Science in the News - 2nd write up is due Monday, December 9th.
