Seventh Grade
Spelling - Unit 13, first two pages.
Vocabulary - Unit 6 is due tomorrow! Please don't wait until the last night to complete the unit. That puts too much pressure on you! Be sure you are doing a little each day. I give you a full week to work on the unit. Take advantage of that!
Literature - We read chapter 15 in Treasure Island today. The homework is a worksheet with questions and activities for Part III (chapters 13-15). This is due tomorrow!
Math - We went over the practice test for Chapter 3 - Inequalities - today. We will continue to review tomorrow. The test will be Wednesday.
Eighth Grade
Lesson 3-7. #2-21 ALL. Remember, to solve two-step equations, you need to follow these steps:
1. Combine any like terms that are on the same side of the equation. (If necessary)
2. Eliminate any constant terms. (the numbers being adding or subtracted from the variable)
3. Eliminate the coefficients. (the numbers that the variable is being multiplied or divided by)
When working with fractions, if you have to add or subtract, use common denominators. If you have to multiply or divide, be sure you have changed any mixed numbers into improper fractions by using the u-turn. If you are dividing, remember that to divide a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal.
See you tomorrow!
