This week, the grade 9 math class continued their geometry unit on the properties of triangles. Students learned the process for proving congruence and similarity in triangles, and will be using this knowledge on the EQAO coming up next week.
The grade 9 math students continued their analytical geometry unit by learning how to graph lines and plot coordinate points on their graphing calculators. Using its various functions, students found equations of lines and their intersecting points with much greater efficiency than before. These tools will be useful for their time-constrained test happening later this week.
This week, the grade 9 English students resumed their Greek mythology unit with the reading of The Odyssey, an epic poem written by Homer. Students will be annotating the story as they read to develop a better understanding of the morals and lessons taught throughout the book.
