SIXTH GRADE

The class learned how to multiply decimals today. You are doing page 40 #6-32 evens only! (skip the odd numbered problems.) Here is a video with some examples.
SEVENTH GRADE MATH

The class learned how to multiply and divide integers today. Remember, you will always multiply or divide the numbers. Then, if the signs are the same, the answer is POSITIVE. If the signs are different, the answer is NEGATIVE. Page 46 #4-27.

GEOGRAPHY

The class worked on an assignment about scale in class. There is no homework!

PRE-ALGEBRA

The assignment for today is a worksheet with integer word problems. The accompanying color sheet is extra credit.

ALGEBRA I

Today's assignment is multiplying real numbers. #2-50 evens.  It is Lesson 1.7 in your textbook. (I don't have the page number.)

See you tomorrow!

SIXTH GRADE

The class worked on an in class activity on adding and subtracting decimal numbers. At the end of the activity, each student will have completed 23 problems. Some need to finish a few of the problems at home, but most finished in class! It was a lot of fun.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Today's assignment was a combination of adding and subtracting integers. Page 41 #4-27.

GEOGRAPHY

We talked about different kinds of maps and looked at Google Earth maps on the SmartBoard. The assignment is the Assessment on page 14, #1-19 and the Document Based Assessment on page 15-15a, #1-5.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Today's assignment is more practice with adding and subtracting integers. It is a worksheet with a "color by number" activity.

ALGEBRA I

Today's assignment is a worksheet, reviewing skills from lesson 1.6.

See you tomorrow!

SIXTH GRADE

Today's assignment is comparing and ordering decimal numbers. page 29, #1-22. Here is a video to help you!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Today's assignment was an adding integers worksheet - to give them more practice, especially with word problems.

GEOGRAPHY

We talked about parts of a map today - the key, scale, etc. The class will make their own map of a made up island tomorrow!

PRE-ALGEBRA

Students chose either a reteaching worksheet with adding and subtracting integers or a puzzle worksheet with more challenging integer problems. (Some chose both and they will get credit for both.)
 
ALGEBRA I

Today's assignment is subtracting real numbers. p46-47 #14-40, 44-68, 74-88 evens. Let me know if you need help or would like a video!

See you tomorrow,

SIXTH GRADE

Today's assignment is page  #1-6, 11-20, 26-33. In other words, you are skipping numbers 7 through 10 and 21 through 25. I don't like writing decimal numbers in expanded form, so we aren't doing those. For numbers 26-33, you only have to write the number in standard form (as a regular number). So you don't have to write expanded form on these. Here is your first video with example problems! Please email me if you have any questions.



SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Today's assignment is the adding integers worksheet.

GEOGRAPHY

We discussed different kinds of maps and projections today. The homework assignment is the handout on projections. You do not need your textbook. Answer the questions at the bottom of the page on both sides.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Today's assignment is the subtracting integers worksheet. Everyone finished in class!

ALGEBRA I

page 32-33 #48-92 evens. (Skip #64) Here is a video with some examples.
