Gr.8_Chapter5

Chapter 5, 2-D Measurement, will focus on Circles. We will be finding the circumference (distance around a circle) as well as the area of a circle. While these are the only 2 concepts being taught, there is a new element we are adding to your Math knowledge called Pi. Having a solid understanding of Pi and subsequently circumference and area of a circle will lead to your success not only in this current Chapter, but also to successfully understanding the next Chapter (11) when we will tackle 3D Measurement with the focus on cylinders.

The mark for this chapter will appear under the Measurement strand on your first report card, which should be going home in mid-February.
