Seventh Grade
Spelling - No Vocabulary Connections this week. Just be sure you finish Unit 22 by Friday.
Vocabulary - The class took a test this week.
Math - Lesson 5-17. (We are skipping the equations with decimals and fractions.) Conversion of customary units. #2-25 ALL. (Just the front page.)
To convert the measurements, remember that if your are converting from a bigger measurement to a smaller, multiply. If you are converting a smaller measurement to a bigger, divide. For example, if you need to convert 45 inches into feet, you first need to determine if it is bigger to smaller or smaller to bigger. Since an inch is smaller than a foot, it is smaller to bigger, so you DIVIDE. Then, you find the conversion which is 12 inches = 1 foot. So, divide the 45 inches (given in the example) by 12. This doesn't divide evenly, so write the answer as a fraction. 12 goes into 45 3 times with 9 left over. That would be 3 9/12. Then, reduce the fraction to 3 3/4. Don't forget the label! It is 3 3/4 feet.
If the question already includes a fraction, that's okay...you will just multiply or divide with fractions. You are all really good at that, so it isn't scary!
Eighth Grade
Practice slope problems. For examples, please look back at yesterday's blog post or watch Mrs. Sparks' Power Point presentation again. These type of problems are done closer to the end of the slideshow (right before the horizontal and vertical lines). And don't forget...you can always email me if you have a question! The email address is in the sidebar.
See you tomorrow!
