Sixth Grade
Literature - We finished reading Chapter 14 today. Answer the questions over the chapter that you copied down from the board. Be sure to use 3-4 sentences to answer #1.
Math - Lesson 49. Decimal number line - this was pretty simple for everyone so I won't do any examples. (Good job, today!) The other half of the lesson involved dividing by a fraction. Remember the phrase with the corresponding arm movements: "Change the division sign to multiplication and FLIP the second fraction!"
For example, if you have a stack of books that is 18 inches high and each book is 3/4 of an inch thick, how many books are in the stack? This is just a division problem. Divide 18 by 3/4.
You'd write: 18/1 x 4/3
18 x 4 = 72
Then divide by 3.
24 books.
Seventh Grade
Spelling - Don't forget, unit 17 is due on Friday! Study and finish the unit.
Grammar - pp. 78-79, Exercises A & B. You can do these in columns. Make the center column the conjunction and the other two columns the things that are connected. Remember, it might be just two words connected by the conjunction or it might be prepositional phrases, or even sentences.
Literature - Finish reading Chapter 13 and answer the questions from the board. (There were only 2 with the first question having two parts....so essentially, that's three questions.)
Math - Lesson 48. Fraction - Decimal - Percent equivalents.
Remember these rules:
To write a fraction as a decimal, divide the bottom number into the top.
To write a fraction as a percent, you can first change it to a decimal and move the decimal point two places to the left. OR you can multiply the fraction by 100% and simplify.
To write a decimal as a fraction, say the number PROPERLY and write that as a fraction. Then reduce.
To write a decimal as a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right.
To write a percent as a fraction, write the number over 100 and simplify.
to write a percent as a decimal, move the decimal two places to the left.
Eighth Grade
Both classes need to do Lesson 46.
See you tomorrow!
