SIXTH GRADE MATH

Your assignment today is a worksheet on Circle Graphs. Remember, to find the number of people in a category, multiply the percent by 400, which is the total of all the people. Be sure to change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left. To find the measure of the angle for a section, multiply the percent by 360, which is the total number of degrees in a circle. Again, make sure you change the percent to a decimal. For example, if the percent is 40%, you would put the decimal to the right of the zero and then move it two places left. You would get: .40 or just .4

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Your assignment today is a review of operations with fractions. Let me know if you need help!

SEVENTH GRADE GEOGRAPHY

The class used the CIA World Factbook website to find socio-economic indicators about 3 countries. If you didn't finish at school, you will need to complete the worksheet at home.

Today, the class learned how to make line graphs and to tell when they should make a bar graph or a line graph. The assignment is to do #5-9 on page 76. Remember, instead of doing #5 and #6 separately, make a double bar graph with the data in the table. Follow the directions for #7 and #8 and then just make the graph for #9. You don't have to answer the questions for #9.

Finding equivalent fractions and reducing fractions to simplest form. Remember, on the first set, you are multiplying to find two equivalent fractions. On the second set, you are dividing to find two equivalent fractions. On the third set, you are still dividing, but you have to make sure that your final answer is reduced all the way...so that it can't be divided by anything else. Please let me know if you have any problems! You are doing page 84, #7-26.
