Sixth Grade
Today, the class worked through a test review. There is a test tomorrow, so be sure you are going over the review and that you understand all the questions! There is no other homework.
Seventh Grade
Spelling - Unit 6. First two pages. This is a review unit. You will have to complete the entire unit. There is no challenge page with a review. The unit will be due on Thursday. Each student circled the words that will be on the test on Thursday, so be sure you are studying!
Vocabulary - Unit 3 is due tomorrow! Please make sure you are getting it completed. There will be a test on Thursday.
Literature - Two worksheets over "A Boy and a Man". For the Vocabulary Check, make sure you are looking in the book for the definitions. There will be a Selection Test over the story tomorrow.
Grammar - Measurement abbreviations. pp. 300-302. Exercise A, B, and DWS. Follow the instructions for each.
Math - Lesson 2-3. #2-21 ALL. Remember, you will get credit for showing the work in the way that I showed you in class as well as for the answer.
For example:
If you have the problem: n + 3 = 20, you would write the equation down on your paper. Draw a line down the middle of the equals sign (this is optional). Then, since the 3 is being added to n, you get rid of it by subtracting 3 from both sides. That is your second row and it must look like that. I know that right now you can probably tell what the answer is, but it will really be helpful when the equations get a lot harder to have this pattern down. Then, cross off the +3 and the -3 underneath it because that would equal 0. You are left with just the n on the left side. After subtracting 3 from the right side, you will have as your answer 17. Be sure that all your problems have the same steps.
Another kind of problem looks like this:
Here, you have the problem n + (-2) = 10. Since you are adding (-2) to the n, you get rid of it by subtracting (-2). Do that to both sides and you have the second row. (My blue mark covered up the - on the left side, but it does show -(-2) there). Now you can cancel the + (-2) and the - (-2) on the left side and all you have left is the n. On the right side, you notice that you have "minus a negative" so you change that to "plus a positive" and add 10 +2 for your answer.
I know there will be other kinds of problems on your assignment. Do your best and I will answer as many questions as I can tomorrow.
Eighth Grade
Practice Test for Chapter 1. This is in your practice book. You are doing all the test except #22-24 and #35-36. I am posting the answers to the practice test here. Please check your answers against these and if you don't understand why you missed them, be sure to ask about it tomorrow. They are a little fuzzy because of the resizing in my blog program, but if you click on the picture, it is very easy to read.
