February Update.

Hi, Hope everyone is doing well.

I have been working on a couple math topics that I hope you will find useful.

Symmetry

In math I have added a symmetry page that has a number of activities for different grade levels. I had some help from the Grade 6 class at Petite.

T Rex Math

I have reworked the TRex math page. I really think that counting in Base 4 or Base 2 exercises will help students who are having difficulty with Base 10.

Google Earth

While working on the area and perimeter page I stumble on a short Youtube video on using Google Earth. Find your school or a large building on Google Earth and then Tools, select your unit of measurement and you can get the dimensions of the building.

Science Shorts

A couple of things in science. February 12 is Darwin's birthday. On my Schedule page you can link to a free Gizmo that shows how climate change can effect the shape of a bird's beak.

We haven't had to many clear evenings but the planet Venus continues to dominate the early evening sky.

Remember to check the Science News. It is updated weekly.

Thanks for your time,

John
