Math test: May 10, motion geometry

                           Students are asked to brush up on their motion geometry skills for Tuesday, May 10. Topics included are:

--- symmetry (finding the lines of symmetry, knowing what it means, and completing a symmetrical shape on a grid). If a shape is symmetrical, it can be folded along the line of symmetry and both sides will be the same shape and same size or congruent.

The secret word is Samaritan. 

--- congruence (knowing what it means and fining congruent shapes). Items that are congruent are the same shape and same size. 

--- Rotation (turn), reflection (flip) and translation (slide) Students must know the meaning of each term and be able to tell which was used in a diagram.

--- location on a grid. Students must be able to say where a certain item is on a grid. Always identify the horizontal letter or number first then the vertical. Example: the circle is on 8, 2.

--- moving on a grid . Students must be able to give directions and follow directions on a grid. An example is go right 4 squares, and up 3 squares to get to the store.

Science to bring in: Students are asked to bring in seeds to look at and compare. Flower seeds, tree seeds, seeds from fruit or vegetables ( I have avocado seeds), seeds from weeds, wild flowers etc....
