Sixth Grade
We did not have class today because of the House Tournament. Congratulations Patrick House!
Tomorrow, Lesson 85 is due. We will have a practice test and a test on Friday.
Seventh Grade
This morning, the class took the Vocabulary test. We didn't have time to start reading Tom Sawyer, but will start for sure tomorrow!
There is a math test over Chapter 6 tomorrow, so be sure you are going over everything!
Junior Achievement was today too. The class learned about credit - what is good credit and what is bad and why. It was interesting!
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Lesson 8-7 #2-12. Simple Interest. (We are not doing the compound interest problems.)
Here are a few examples:
If you also have to find the new amount, just add the interest amount you get after multiplying to your principal. In the above example, that would mean adding $111.15 to $1,560.00 = $1,671.15
For problems 10-12, you will be finding the interest rate. (the percent) That will change what you do to get the answer, but you are still using the same formula: I = p x r x t
Here is an example:
For Algebra I, you are doing the same thing as yesterday. You will just have remainders. Remember to write the remainder over the divisor (what is on the outside of the division box). Whatever sign the remainder is, goes before the remainder. So, if you are left with -3, then write a minus sign, then 3 over whatever the divisor is.See you tomorrow!
