Today's assignment was page #2-32 evens for lesson 3.3. (I didn't write the page number down and my book is at school!) Everyone seemed to do very well in class. If you need help though, PLEASE let me know!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

The class worked on their surveys today. They will continue making the bar graph posters tomorrow!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

The assignment is a worksheet with extra practice multiplying fractions - some multiply three fractions. You do these the same way...you can just cancel any number on top with any number on bottom.

GEOGRAPHY

The class worked on the Socio-Economic Indicator assignment in the computer lab today. If you didn't finish in class, finish it this evening. It is due tomorrow.

PRE-ALGEBRA

The class learned how to graph inequalities today. They took notes and created a flip page to help them with knowing what kind of circle to use and which way the arrow points. The homework is #1-5 on page 281.

SIXTH GRADE

Today, the class worked in small groups to decide on their survey. Tomorrow, each group will go to a different class and take a survey. They will then turn the survey into a bar graph. The homework for today is to create a bar graph with the data we came up with in class - number of letters in their names.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Multiplying Fractions. You are doing #7-23 on the page for multiplying fractions and mixed numbers. You just aren't doing mixed numbers yet. Here is a video with a few examples:

GEOGRAPHY

The class continued a few notes on socio-economic indicators and then learned how to the CIA World Factbook to look up statistics. Tomorrow, they will each choose 3 countries (they will draw for their countries) and find the indicators using the website.

PRE-ALGEBRA

The class took a test today over expressions and equations.

ALGEBRA I

We began a new unit today on linear equations. Do numbers 18-32 and 40-60 evens on pages 181-183. (Or somewhere in there...I don't remember the exact pages and I didn't write it down!)

Here is a video with a few examples:

SIXTH GRADE

On Friday, the class helped color pictures to decorate my room for the carnival. Thanks for your help! No homework.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

On Friday, the class helped set up for the carnival.

GEOGRAPHY

On Friday, the class took notes over socio-economic factors. No homework.

PRE-ALGEBRA

We finished the test review. The equations and expressions test is on Monday. Here are the last three problems that we didn't get to:

22.

12 + 8 -3g = 7g + g - 13

20 - 3g = 8g - 13      (combine like terms on each side. 12 + 8 on the left and 7g + g on the right.)
     + 3g   +3g
20 = 11g - 13    (move the -3g to the right side by adding 3g to both sides)
+13         + 13

33 = 11g         move the -13 to the left side

divide both sides by 11 to get the g by itself. The answer is:

3 = g

23.

9y + 2 - 5y = -13 + y + 6

4y + 2 = -7 + y      (combine 9y -5y on the left to get 4y and -13 + 6 to get -7 on the right)
-y                -y

3y + 2 = -7         (move the +y on the right side to the left by subtracting it on both sides.)
     -2      -2

3y = -9       (move the +2 to the right side by subtracting 2 from both sides.)

y = -3      (divide both sides by 3)

25. 7(3b - 2) + 10 = -(3b -20)

21b -14 + 10 = -3b +20    (distribute the 7 to the 3b and -2 to get 21b -14. Then distribute the
                                          negative sign to the 3b - 20. It changes BOTH signs so you have -3b + 20.

21b -4 = -3b + 20 (combine like terms on the left side -14 + 10 = -4)
+3b        +3b        

24b - 4 = 20    (get the -3b to the left side by adding 3b to both sides.)
       +4     +4

24b = 24         (move the 4 to the right side by adding 4)

b = 1           (divide both sides by 24)

ALGEBRA I

The class helped decorate for the carnival on Friday. No homework!

See you on Monday,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

The homework for today is to make a bar graph with the class data.
 

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

More practice with subtracting mixed numbers.

GEOGRAPHY

The class took notes today over developing and developed countries.

PRE-ALGEBRA

We began a test review today over expressions and equations. The test will be on Monday. You do not have to finish the review for homework.

ALGEBRA I

The class took a test today over mixture, distance, coin, and value problems. No homework!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE 

Today's homework is to create a bar graph using the data from the survey about candy today.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH 

The homework for today is the adding and subtracting mixed numbers worksheet. You don't have to do the last four problems.  

GEOGRAPHY 

The class took notes on conflict in various regions today. The homework is an atlas activity page.  

PRE-ALGEBRA 

The homework is more practice with multi-step equations. Remember, when you are solving an equation and you eliminate the variable completely, and all you have left is something like "-2 = 4", your answer is "NO SOLUTION". The reason for this is, -2 does not equal 4 so it's a false statement. That means there isn't a number that would work for the variable and make the equation true.  

ALGEBRA I  

There is a test tomorrow over distance, coin, and mixture problems.

See you tomorrow! Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

Today's homework is over frequency plots and line plots. You are doing page #1-14a. You don't have to do 14b. Here is a video with a few examples.

ALGEBRA I

We reviewed for the test on Thursday. There is no homework - we will continue the review tomorrow.

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

There is no homework tonight BUT there is a quiz tomorrow over metric conversions and metric measure. You will need to use the "staircase" to convert metric measures. You must have the order on the staircase memorized! Also, you will be choosing an appropriate measure for various things, such as, what metric measure of capacity would you use to measure the amount of water in a swimming pool? You would use kiloliters or kL.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

More practice with adding and subtracting fractions.

GEOGRAPHY

We began discussing types of conflict today. The class worked in groups and tomorrow, we will go discuss each group's ideas and take notes.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Today's homework is on equations with variables on both sides. Here is a video with some examples:

PRE-ALGEBRA

More practice with two step equations. Here is a video with a few examples.

ALGEBRA I

Distance Problems. Here is a video with the examples from Friday, if you need a refresher on how to set these up and solve them.
See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

Today's homework is #1-36 on pages 418-419. The information you will need to do all of these is in the charts on page 416-417. Remember, you are using the metric system ONLY. Do not give any answers such as inches, feet, yards, miles, ounces, or pounds. Those are all measurements in the US Customary System. We will do those in another unit. The metric system main measurements are meters for length, grams for mass, and liters for capacity. Use the charts to help you and write me with any questions you may have. This is actually a difficult lesson to a do a video for because it requires you to think logically to determine the various measurements you would use.

7th GRADE MATH

Today's assignment is the worksheet over greatest common factor and reducing fractions to simplest form. If you have any questions, please let me know!

GEOGRAPHY

The class took notes on landforms and bodies of water today. We will continue notes tomorrow. The quiz over all land and water forms will be on Friday!

PRE-ALGEBRA

Today, the class began solving simple, one step equations with integers. Everyone was doing very well in class, so I won't post a video. But if you are stuck at all tonight, please let me know!

ALGEBRA I

Here is your video with three examples. I hope this helps! Let me know if you'd like me to check your set-up of any of the problems. I have the worksheet with me, so I would just need to know the problem number.
See you tomorrow!

SIXTH GRADE

We reviewed decimal operations again today. There is a test tomorrow!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

GCF, LCM, and prime factorization worksheet.

 

GEOGRAPHY

The class took the test over Unit 1 today.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Order of Operations with Integers. You do not need to complete the entire page tonight. If you are stuck, I will help you tomorrow. If I need to post a video, I will do that this weekend. The assignment will be due on Monday.

 

ALGEBRA I

You are doing percent problems. #1-10 on page 134. Be sure to write your equation (if the problem needs to be written as an equation) and show all your work. I will not give you credit for just an answer (except for #7-8).

See you tomorrow!
