8C Math

- share graduation expenses with your parents. Total is about $600 (trip, hoodie, grad dinner and assembly, photos, yearbook). Not cheap

- with a pencil, protractor and ruler, draw the following shapes in your notebook and measure each angle and side

square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, right trapezoid, parallelogram

March 26, 2025

 8C

- Use the drawing function in Google, draw the following and paste the shapes in a Doc

Square (and a similar square)

Rectangle (and a similar rectangle)

Rhombus (and a similar one)

Parallelogram (and a similar one)

Trapazoid ((and a similar one)

Right Trapazoid (and a similar one)

- label each shape. Give them names please

Bring markers or crayons to colour tessellations

Yearbook committee application: see Ms. Misery or Yoon for the application.

 8C, 8D Similar and Congruent triangles

- note: Avoid drawing shapes with each side less than 5cm. The margin of error is very high and it is very difficult to measure the angles accurately

Task 1: draw three similar triangles with a base of at least 12cm (angles 45*, 45*, 90*)

- Triangle 2: half the length of the base (6cm). Angles stay the same

- Triangle 3: 3/4 of the length of the base (9cm). Angles stay the same

Task 2: Draw three congruent reactangles (flip, turn)

Task 3: Draw three similar rectangles (min length is 5cm)

Task 4: Draw 3 similar obtuse triangles. Measure each angles and length

Yearbook members. I need 2 students from 8C

Complete application from Ms. Misery, Yoon or Yin

Math: Draw the following angles in your graphing book

45°, 60°, 90°, 115°, 135°, 155°, 200°, 270°, 315°

Draw these triangles

Equilateral triangle, 5cm on each side

Isosceles triangle, 45°, 45°, 7cm base

Right triangle, 90°-60°-30°

Acute triangle 35°-80°-65°

Obtuse triangle 120°-40°-20°

Probability test tomorrow. Study

Task 1: What is the chance of getting struck by lightning? (1 in 15400)

- you are more likely to be struck by lightning than winning the 649

Task 2: Lotto Max (Ontario game?). Find the size of the jackpot, how many numbers are there and how many numbers must be picked correctly to win the top prize

- Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4

Task 3: Find the information about Powerball in the US

Bottom Line: Playing lottery games or sports betting is highly addictive, and the house will always win since the odds of winning are slim. Avoid at all costs.

The probability test will be on Thursday March 20 (Day 5). Study. 4 pages long, and the questions are

- dice, coin flips, car license plates, picking letters, playing cards, spinner, KFC (conditional probability)

- I hope you pay attention to the news last week. The bonus question is related to the news
