7C
- identify the motions that change the shapes from the original position to the image.  In many cases, there are many motions that can create the same image.  identify all these motions
- for rotation: indicate centre of rotation, turn direction and ts altitude (e.g. 1/4 cw)
- for translation: indicate how much the original shape moves (e.g. 2R, 1D or 2L, 3U).
D = down, U = up, L = left, R = right
- for reflection, draw the line of symmetry

- sign book report sheet; due May 8, 2018 [most will read Broken Blade, a few will read another boo since they have read it before

- dental screening next week

8B/8C

March 22, 2018

7C
- type up the paragraph from this morning writing (strongest argument, Which subject is the most important to learn in school?, 8 to 10 sentences)
- email file to me
- you must give examples and explain
- use conjunctions such as while, when, unless, since, as long as, either. . . or, neither . . . nor, although, whenever, if
e.g. Although some people do not like math, it is probably the most important subject to learn in school since we use math everyday.  For example, a Walmart cashier needs to know simple math to provide correct change to all the customers.  Otherwise, Walmart will be losing money by giving out too much change for each transaction.

- math: translation/ slide sheet

- dental screening letter to be shared with parents; dental screening next week
