Check the homework board for nightly updates on homework. I will also do my best to follow Mr. Gillen's NO HOMEWORK policy on the weekends, but that only applies if you work in class.

Parents: Working with transformational geometry helps students develop spatial visualization skills. Many everyday activities such as map reading, giving directions, and following assembly instructions, rely on these skills.
In this unit, your son/daughter will:
- Describe position on a grid.
- Apply translations, reflections and rotations.
- Pose and solve problems with transformations.
- Identify congruent figures.
- Construct figures with more than one line of symmetry.
- Explore tiling patterns and tesselations and relate tiling patterns to transformations.
- Identify the order of rotational symmetry of figures.
Here are some activities you can do with your son/daughter at home:
- Draw a map of your neighbourhood on a grid. Identify the coordinates of 3 different locations.
- Play the game Battleship
- Search your home and yard for objects with symmetry.
- Fold an cut paper to make paper snowflakes. Look for symmetry and holes with the same size and shape.
- Look for objects that rotate, such as tap handles, hubcaps, steering wheels. Ask your son/daughter how the object looks the same or different when turned.
Ontario Curriculum Expectations:
3.1- graph the image of a point, or set of points on the Cartesian coordinate plane after applying a transformation to the original points (i.e: translation; reflection in the x-axis, the y-axis or the angle bisector of the axes that passes through the first and third quadrants; rotation of 90 degrees, 180 degrees or 270 degrees about the origin)
3.2- identify, through investigation, real-world movements that are translations, reflections and rotations.
