Sixth and Seventh Grade Progress Reports went home today! Eighth Grade will get theirs tomorrow.
Sixth Grade
Math - Lesson 65. Multiplying Mixed Numbers. Remember, when you multiply a mixed number, you first have to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions. THEN you can multiply across. For your answer, remember to change any improper fractions back to a mixed number and reduce if necessary.
Spelling - Remember that unit 23 is due next Tuesday!
Seventh Grade
Math - Lesson 64. Adding signed numbers. These are the rules:
When the signs are the same ADD and keep the same sign.
When the signs are different, SUBTRACT and use the sign of the bigger number.
For example:
(-25) + (+32)
Since the signs are different - one negative and one positive - subtract the numbers 32-25 = 7 and since 32 is bigger than 25, use it's sign which is positive. The answer is positive 7. (And no, you do not have to write a positive sign)
(-45) + (-80)
Since the signs are the same, just add. 45 + 80 = 125 and since the sign is negative, the answer is still negative. -125
Grammar - pp. 97-98. Exercises A & B. Identifying compound subjects and compound verbs. Just write the compound subjects and verbs. You do not have to write the sentences!
We will read in Treasure Island tomorrow!
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Lesson 64. Semicircles. When you have a shape that has a half circle (or two) on it and you need to find perimeter, remember to multiply 3.14 x the radius...that will give you the circumference of the half circle. To find the area of the half circle, multiply 3.14 x the radius squared, then divide that answer by two.
Algebra I - Lesson 64.
When you are solving addition inequalities, you will get the variable alone in the same manner as if it were an equation. So, if it was, x +3 < 5, you would just subtract 3 from both sides and have
x < 2
To graph them on a number line when the domain is stated, remember that real numbers includes everything, so you just use a solid line and arrow. You have to use the dots with integers since integers don't include all the stuff in between each number on the number line.
That's it!
See you tomorrow!
