Dear children,
We spent our time together working on more questions related to angles. Almost all of you are, by now, experts in identifying whether an angle is a right angle, smaller than a right angle or greater than a right angle. This is a very important skill. Do you remember the two names given to the two kinds of angles you learnt?
After mastering that, we moved on to draw shapes with different number of sides and angles. This was quite challenging for many of you, but I could see how your faces lit up when you conquered those problems one by one. Seeing you succeed brings joy to me! I was especially impressed by those who did not give up and kept trying even after many failures. People who persevere will go very far.
If you have time tonight, try drawing the following shapes:
1) A shape with 5 sides and 3 right angles
2) A shape with 6 sides and 1 right angle
3) A shape with 4 sides and 2 angles greater than a right angle
4) A shape with 7 sides, 2 right angles, and an angle greater than a right angle
We ended the day by working on a few 4-step word problems that required you to draw diagrams. We will continue with these tomorrow to complete the Angles booklet.
If you are interested to learn a little more about angles, visit this webpage:

Some of the facts on that website are not within your syllabus for this year, but who says you cannot learn more on your own? ;)
Have an enjoyable evening with your family. See you tomorrow! :)
