A Message from Mrs. Conger and Mrs. Rodgers
Math
In math, we are finishing up unit 4 in geometry. We have found the area of all sorts of polygons including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles and triangles. We also know how to decompose figures to find their area. We did some hands on practice with nets of 3D figures and finding surface area. We are almost ready for the post-test!
