Triangle is the Only Rigid Polygon!

Today we have learned about triangles in Grade 8s and 9s. One of the interesting parts of the lessons was about triangles' rigidity.

Triangles cannot be bent or be forced out of shape; they are not flexible. Therefore triangular shapes are used in modern constructions for safety reasons.

Here are some examples:

(This second bridge is Thanlyn Bridge)

Then we made an experiment. When in a triangular shape things become stronger and in the following photos we can see how an A4 paper becomes much more stable. Only thing you need to do is to fold it like a fan.

Grade 7 Quiz

This Wednesday there will be a quiz about four fundamental operations with fractions.
Please study the following:

• Adding fractions
• Subtracting fractions
• Multiplying fractions
• Dividing fractions
• calculating a fraction of an amount (example: 2/3 of $120=?)

What a Game That Was

Today Grade 7s beat Grade 9s in a friendly football game. Normal time ended 1 - 1 and after penalties, Grade 7 won by 4 - 2. That was an astonishing result for the 7s to win against a team two years older and stronger than them.

Steven saved some critical shots.

Charles not only played very well but also scored a perfect penalty.

Ebrahim scores and refreshes the hopes...
