SIXTH GRADE

There is a quiz over integers tomorrow. Be sure to go over the review!

SEVENTH GRADE

Our zoo trip is tomorrow! You have homework from Geography, but it isn't due until Monday.

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra:

  Here is the video with the rest of the review. I made a mistake and didn't put a height on the cone or pyramid. You need a height from the base (not the slant height) to do volume. I will make sure the quiz has those. Sorry!




Algebra I:

You have a quiz over rational expressions and radicals. You will be simplifying, multiplying, and dividing rational expressions and simplifying radicals. If you have any questions, let me know!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

You are working with the coordinate plane today. I made a short video with a few examples and terms you will need.

 

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: Area of Triangles, rectangles, and parallelograms. Remember, the formula for finding the area of a triangle is: base x height divided by 2. To find the area of a rectangle, just multiply length times width. For the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base times the height. (Don't divide by 2 though...that is just for triangles.) 

Geography: Map activity for Europe - this is due Wednesday. Don't forget that you will have country quizzes Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Monday - over any country you want. Be sure to make at least one from Europe.

 

EIGHTH GRADE

 Pre-Algebra: Today, I let the class work on redo papers. We will take another day to do that tomorrow. Then it will have to be done on their own. We will review for a quiz on Wednesday and the quiz will be Thursday.

Algebra I: Radicals. If you need help, let me know! Everyone seemed to understand really well in class, but if you get home and forget, I'm happy to help. I may not answer right away as I'll be gone for awhile, but I will eventually respond.

See you tomorrow!

SIXTH GRADE

The class turned in the homework during class today. No homework!

SEVENTH GRADE

The class went on their pilgrimage today to the Catholic Pastoral Center, St. Eugene's, St. Joseph's, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it!

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: No homework! Game day.

Algebra I: Rational Expression Equations. Here is the video I was going to have Mrs. McWay show in class today!


See you on Monday!

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

We did not have class today because of the school wide practice for the Spring show tomorrow night! It's going to be amazing, so don't miss it!

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: No homework! The class worked on their posters for Capture the Flag. A few need to finish tomorrow.

Geography: We did not have class today because of the Spring show practice. You will need to do the country quiz for Asia tomorrow instead!

ALSO: Don't forget to return your permission slips!

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Finding volume of spheres. Remember the formula. Pi times radius cubed (that's the radius multiplied by itself 3 times), then times 4 and then divided by 3! That's it. You can use a calculator and you are doing the front side only.

Algebra I: Complex Fractions. I made a video with examples.

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

The homework for today is the subtracting integers worksheet. #1-29, from 30 to the end is extra credit. 

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: The class did an activity today called Capture the Flag - World Domination! It was a fun activity using their skills on measuring angles with a protractor. Tomorrow, we will find out who the new world leader is!

Geography: The class had a test today. Remember, there is a country quiz over Asia tomorrow! Be sure you get notes for it. Please look them up yourself.

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Finding volume of cones and pyramids. The formula is simple: area of the base times the height divided by 3. Remember that when you find the area of the base to pay attention to what shape the base is. If the base is a square, multiply side x side. If the base is a rectangle, multiply length x width. If the base is a triangle, multiply the triangle's base times the triangle's height and divide by 2.

Algebra I: Adding rational expressions. I made a video tonight:


See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

We did not have class on Friday because the 6th grade was on the field trip! The homework from Thursday is due on Monday. I made a video on Thursday if you need help. Just scroll down until you get to the previous day.

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: We practiced drawing angles using a protractor. There is no homework. 

Geography: I passed out the study guide for the Asia test - which will be on Tuesday. Please study this weekend!

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Surface area of cones. I made a video in case you are stuck! Here is your direct link.

 

Algebra I: Making equivalent rational expressions by finding a LCD. I made a video for you! Here is the direct link.

 

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

Adding integers using a number line. I made a video with an example of adding 3 and how to solve the ones with the letters.

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: Lines, rays, and planes. I made a video with a few examples.


Geography: We read in class! No homework.

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Finding the volume of pyramids. Please use the formula! You just have to find the area of the 5 faces separately on the first one since the slant heights are different. So, think of each slanted face as a separate triangle and the bottom face as a rectangle.

Algebra I: No homework! We practiced some problems together.

See you tomorrow!
