Grade 9

Monday November 30 - Hey everyone, today we started learning online. Moreover, we started our section on Surface Area. Today we went over the idea of Area and Perimeter. Furthermore we developed the formula's for various 2-D shapes (Polygons). 

Please refer to the Pre-Surface Area notes on Area in the grade 9 notes section on my Blog. 

Today's activity is the 5 Questions on the last page of the notes (Pre-surface area notes)

Tuesday December 1 - Hey everyone, today we looked at various 3-D shapes and their names. Moreover, we looked at finding the surface area of a cube, rectangular prism and a cylinder. We also looked at developing the Surface Area formula for a cylinder. 

Please refer to the Surface Area NOTES in the grade 9 notes section on my Blog. 

Today's activity is on Pg 31 (#2-7)

Wednesday December 2 - Hey everyone, today we looked at a special case. We looked at 3 different rectangular prisms and what would happen to the surface area if we notched out a portion (or an entire portion) of the rectangular prism. Furthermore, we looked at calculating the surface area of a triangular prism that involved the use of the Pythagorean Theorem. 

Please refer to the Surface Area NOTES in the grade 9 notes section on my Blog. 

Today's activity is on Pg 33 (#8-12)

Thursday December 3 - Hey everyone, today we are wrapping up the notes on Surface Area. Moreover, we are looking at strategies to calculate the surface area of composite shapes, and we will be calculating the area of a composite shape. 

Please refer to the Surface Area NOTES in the grade 9 notes section on my Blog. 

Today's activity is on Pg 34 (#13-17)

**A reminder to review the material learned thus far as you will be writing a quiz on Monday Dec 7 & or Tuesday Dec 8. You will have the opportunity to write it anytime on either day.
