SEVENTH GRADE MATH

We reviewed for the test over Integers today. The test is tomorrow. You will have to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers as well as order integers, find the absolute value of a number, and simplify integers with exponents.

GEOGRAPHY

We discussed a fun project today and the first group began tracing. The class will be working in small groups to create a relief map (using the air dry clay from the supply list!) of a continent. There are five groups. Last year's maps turned out wonderful! I think this class will really enjoy making them. There is no homework.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Today's homework is the assignment on real numbers. Remember how real numbers are sorted:

All numbers are REAL (in this class). Then you have two categories. Irrational and Rational.

Irrational Numbers include all non-terminating, non-repeating decimals. Things like the square root of 6 and pi. Also a number like: 0.572358764..... it would be irrational because it never ends (the dots at the end tell you that) and there isn't a pattern.

If it isn't irrational, then it will be rational.

Rational Numbers: Any number that can be written as a fraction. This includes terminating and repeating decimals. To terminate means to END. So a number like 12.25 is terminating because it is just twelve and twenty-five hundredths. It doesn't keep going on and on and on. A number is rational if the decimal repeats. Things like 5.4444444.... is a rational number. That is actually the same as the mixed number five and four ninths.

Integers: All the whole numbers and their opposites. (No fractions and decimals here.) Things like -5, -100, 0, 3, 10, etc.

Whole Numbers: This starts at 0 and counts up from there...0,1,2,3.... (no fractions and decimals and also no negative numbers.)

Natural Numbers: These are your counting numbers. 1,2,3... So the same as whole numbers except there is no zero. Again, no fractions, decimals, or negative numbers.

ALGEBRA I

We spent the class period going over problems for the test tomorrow! No homework.

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE
