Sixth Grade

Today, we worked on a practice test. There will be a test tomorrow. Also, you need to complete Supplemental lesson 95 for tomorrow.

Seventh Grade

Spelling - Complete the first two pages of Unit 33.

Grammar - We reviewed for a test over the chapter about fragments, run-ons, and misplaced modifiers. We will continue to review tomorrow and the test will be on Wednesday.

Literature - We read more from Tom Sawyer, but there is no homework tonight.

Math - Lesson 7-13. #2-18. Remember the formula and for each problem, you will just plug in the information you are given and solve the formula. It is:

I = p x r x t

I = Interest earned or owed
P = principal (amount borrowed or deposited - also the original amount)
r = rate which means PERCENT!
t = time in years (remember, if you are given part of a year, be sure to change it to a decimal)

For #2-6, you will be finding the amount of interest and the total amount earned. This means that you deposited a certain amount of money (the principal) and will earn interest on it for a certain amount of time for a certain percent. Here is an example:

Here is another example:


For #8-12, you will be finding the rate - which is a percent. Remember, just plug in the information you know into the formula. Here is an example:


For the problems on the back page, you will be doing the same thing as above, except you will be finding the time. Remember to change the percent to a decimal before plugging it in the formula.

Eighth Grade

Lesson 10-3. For this lesson, you will be using three formulas. Area of parallelograms, area of triangles, and area of trapezoids.


Just plug in the numbers into the formula and multiply. Remember for both triangles and trapezoids to divide by 2! Do #2-18.

See you tomorrow!
