Monday, August 29th

Sixth Grade

Today was our game day! Everyone had a great time playing math games. They were learning and using math skills even if they didn't think of it that way. Tomorrow, we will begin reviewing computation skills.

Seventh Grade

Math - Properties of Numbers. The class took a BUNCH of notes today on the different properties. Everyone should have a list with a description and examples of each property. The homework is worksheet identifying examples of each property.

Geography - Today we discussed landforms. The class took notes on the first 10 landforms. Each day this week, we will add 10 more landforms or water forms. Next Tuesday, there will be a quiz over all 50, including identifying pictures of land and water forms. We then read part of Chapter 2, Section 1. We will finish reading the section tomorrow. There is no homework due tomorrow, but start studying the first 10 landforms!

Eighth Grade

In both classes I reviewed how to multiply and divide in Scientific Notation. Students who failed the worksheet from last week must redo it. Those who didn't fail have the option of redoing it. There is also a new worksheet with 10 more problems to work. Remember, on the division problems, just divide and round to the tenth. You don't have to keep dividing!

Scroll to previous days to find examples of multiplying and dividing. Remember to look in both Pre-Algebra and Algebra I.

Email me if you have any questions!

See you tomorrow,
Mrs. Swickey
