Thompson’s Timely Tidbits

Good morning everyone. I forgot to post to the blog yesterday before I left, so I thought I would do it now – just for the record. To be honest, it didn’t seem as though we got a lot done yesterday. We did however, go over the two-step review homework from Tuesday (pg. 750) and we took a pre-test over our next unit M7G2. We also spent some time talking about what the Unit is going to be about (Transformations) and what students will need to be able to do by the end of it.

Our new Unit is all about the Transformations of 2D figures on a coordinate plane. We will talk about translations (slides), reflections (flips), rotations (turns) and dilations (changing the size, but not the shape).

So – No homework on Wednesday night! Thursday we will start right in on translations and you should have a little work to practice this skill at home.
