5th Grade Math: Today we talked about how to find the sum of angles in different types of polygons. We found out that all we have to do is subtract 2 from the number of sides a shape has and multiply that number by 180. For example, a hexagon has six sides. If we subtract 6-2, it equals 4. 4 x 180= 720, so if we add all the angles together in a hexagon, it would equal 720 degrees. Students need to use this knowledge to complete the workbook pages assigned. They need to finish pages 88 & 89 for homework tonight. I also still need some tessellation projects from some students, so they need to work on that as well if they have not turned it in. I am taking off 10 percent points per day that it is late.
