Dear children,

We spent some time today learning to copy figures on dot grid paper and square grid paper. Most of you were able to copy the figures accurately and neatly, but a few of you made some careless mistakes when it came to copying on the square grid paper. Remember to use the square-counting method I taught you; you will not go wrong using that.

We also had some practice on identifying 3D shapes by watching a video of three 3D geometric figures performing a ballet dance. I am glad you enjoyed it. Here's the video, in case you would like to watch it again:

Then, we spent time learning to form patterns using 2D and 3D shapes by changing the orientation, size, colour and shapes in the pattern. We had so much practice with the PowerPoint slides that you could not wait to start work on your Booklets B and C! Test yourself again here:

With the topic of geometry completed, we are now ready to revise the year's math! You will receive all your remaining math booklets tomorrow so that you can revise them over this weekend.

These are today's reminders:

1) There is spelling tomorrow. Your spelling book is with me.

2) Pass the information sheet regarding financial assistance to your parents.

3) You will be having a Math Practice Examination next Tuesday. Over the next few days, revise as much math as you can. Review all your math booklets and math test papers again. Try some of the past math quizzes on AskNLearn too. Be ready by Tuesday. I will mark your papers on Tuesday itself so that we will know who are the ones that score 90 marks and above before September ends. If you score 90 to 99.5 marks for this Practice, you will earn 9 ice-cream sticks for your group. If you score full marks, you will earn 10 ice-cream sticks for your group. Will you help your group win this month? :)

See you tomorrow for another fruitful day of learning!
