SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Review of multiplying decimals. p16 #11-28. Do not estimate...just find the products.

SEVENTH GRADE GEOGRAPHY

The class took a test on Friday. No homework!

 

PRE-ALGEBRA

The class began unit 2 over equations by learning about terms. The assignment is p268, #7-21. Remember, terms are alike and can be combined if they have the exact same variable(s). You combine them by adding or subtracting their numerical coefficients. For example:

3x + 5x - 7x = 1x or x because they all have just an "x" and 3 + 5 - 7 = 1

For the second set, #23 - 28, you will have more than one term in the answer because they aren't all like terms. For example:

5x - 7y + 2y - 2x

First, you would combine the terms with "x". 5x - 2x = 3x

Then, you combine the terms with "y". -7y + 2y = -5y

So the final answer is 3x - 5y

Remember, the sign in front of the term goes with it. So, the 7y has a minus sign, so you can think of it as a negative 7y.

Here is another example:

3b + 5 - b - 9

First, combine the terms with "b". 3b - b is the same as 3b - 1b = 2b

Then combine the constant terms (when a number doesn't have a variable, it's "constant"): 5 - 9 = -4

So, your answer is 2b - 4. You could also write this as 2b + -4. It's the same thing.

ALGEBRA I

You are continuing with word problems with equations. I do not have my book or the numbers written down. If you have a question, please email me!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

I did not have any other classes today because of testing during the morning.

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE MATH

Today's homework is another puzzle, but it's much easier than the last. You are reviewing decimal operations. Solve each problem and find the match in the answer column. When you are finished, then cut out the numbered squares and glue them to the correct lettered square to make a picture. If you are stuck on any of the problems, send me an email by clicking on the "Contact Me" button on the left. I will be happy to help!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Today, the class learned graphing on a coordinate plane. The assignment is in chapter 10 (we have to skip around a lot!) on page 488. It's lesson 10-1. Do #1-26. If you get stuck, please let me know!

SEVENTH GRADE GEOGRAPHY

We continued working on the relief maps! They are beginning to look really good.

SIXTH GRADE MATH

The class worked more on the dividing decimals puzzle. If you didn't finish in class, please complete tonight. You can either glue or tape the puzzle together. Remember, they create a 4x4 grid, so each line will have just 4 squares. If you divided correctly, all of them will match up. Please let me know if you have any questions!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

The class continued working on their integer math games today. Those that didn't finish in class will need to finish tonight so we can play them tomorrow!
