In Math today we jumped ahead to Geometry and started looking at quadrilaterals. Here is what we learned:

- A quadrilateral with 4 equal sides, 4 equal angles is called a SQUARE
- A quadrilateral with 4 equal sides, unequal angles is called a RHOMBUS
- A quadrilateral with unequal sides, 4 equal angles is called a RECTANGLE
- A quadrilateral with unequal sides, unequal angles is called a PARALLELOGRAM

Did you know that all of the above are parallelograms? They all have 2 pairs of parallel sides! 

- A quadrilateral with only 1 pair of parallel sides is called a TRAPEZOID

In Social Studies we began learning about Confederation. We have been watching the movie, "John A.: Birth of a Nation" to get a better idea of how George-Etienne Cartier, George Brown, and John A. MacDonald come to the idea of Confederation and creating a single British Colony from sea to sea. We'll finish the film tomorrow and discuss when the other provinces/territories are created, join Confederation, etc. If you want to watch the film at home, the link has been added to the "History" page.
