1. Lesson summary 1 (Wednesday, 16th Jan)
If you don't remember something, you may skim through the "Why are we learning math?" post for a recap. The entire "Why math series?" is at the top of the post too.
Quantities, ratios and geometry are all around us. They are used for many different scenarios
"Math Language" is a shorter and more efficient way to communicate these logical thoughts and to problem-solve with them
The symbols and rules make it incredibly easier and faster to deal with quantities
We use the idea of shapes in a lot of different scenarios. For example, the "flash light and shadow" experiment we started!
quadri = 4
lateral = sides
Thus, quadrilateral means 4 sided. Like a square, rhombus, square, etc...
For example, the formula for the area of a rectangle is Width * Length = W*L

Summary of why we learn math
Trapeziums:

Rhombuses
Just like a square (4-sided, all sides are equal), but the angles are not all 90 degrees.For example, the formula for the area of a rectangle is Width * Length = W*L
Solve the area for this one, in particular, to show me during the lesson!
Kites
Two pairs of different lengths. Each pair is the same length and connected.
Just like a rhombus, except that one pair of sides is longer than the other.

- Why are we doing what we are doing? Recall what I told you about how useful it is to learn to figure things. Learning math is not only necessary but learning more of it brings many good things!
