SIXTH GRADE

Today's homework is the simplifying fractions sheet with the accompanying color sheet. Remember to first simplify the 20 fractions on the first page. Then use the simplified fractions to color the sheet with the corresponding colors. Use colored pencils or crayons ONLY. No marker! If you still aren't sure how to simplify fractions, read the blog post from yesterday.

SEVENTH GRADE

There is no homework today! We took notes during class.

SEVENTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA

More practice with percent of change. Today, the problems do not work out evenly. You need to round to the nearest percent. That means to add three zeros after the decimal and divide until you have used all the zeros. Then, move the decimal over twice to make it a percent. Use the number after the decimal to round to the nearest percent.

EIGHTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA

Today's homework is more practice on finding slope from two points. Remember to use the formula.

y1 - y2 goes on top. Then x1 - x2 goes on bottom. For example:

(-3, 2) and (5, 6)

The first point, (-3, 2) is (x1, y1) and the second point, (5, 6) is x2, y2.

First, subtract the two y's. That goes on top: 2 - 6 = -4

Then, subtract the two x's. That goes on bottom. -3 - 5. This changes to -3 + -5 = -8

So, the top is -4 and the bottom is -8. That would reduce to 1/2. Remember if the top and the bottom are BOTH negative, it changes to a positive. 4 over 8 would equal 1/2. So the slope is 1/2!
