Sixth Grade
Today, the class helped Mr. Brady from the church office with a project. The class turned in the Supplemental assignments from last Thursday, but there was not time for a new assignment!
Seventh Grade
Spelling - Unit 30. This unit is a review over Units 25-29. The entire unit is the assignment this week.
Vocabulary - Unit 14. We discussed the words for the unit. Write each vocabulary word on an index card with the definition and on the back of just TEN of the cards, either draw a picture that relates to the word, find clip art that fits the word, or cut out a magazine picture that illustrates the word. The cards are due on Thursday.
Literature - Define the vocabulary words from Chapters 5-9. Due tomorrow. We will read Chapter 9 tomorrow and you will be answering questions.
Math - Lesson 7-3. Percents greater than 100% and less than 1%. Remember to follow the exact same rules from changing percents to decimals to fractions! Do all the front page and evens on the back to #42.
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - We began chapter 9 today which is two dimensional geometry. Each student made a GeoBook which will contain drawings and information about the various topics covered this chapter. Today's lesson was 9-1. Do #2-9 on the front. Use the information you wrote down in your Geobook to help you answer the questions.
Algebra I - Finish the second half of the assignment from last Wednesday. Solving quadratic equations by factoring. Also, complete the first page of the papers I passed out today. More quadratic equations. Do not do the second page. You can do it tomorrow!
Remember these steps:
1. Get all of the terms on one side of the equation and zero on the other side.
2. Factor out any common factors. If all the terms are divisible by two, factor out a two. If all the terms have at least one "x", factor out an x.
3. If you still have a trinomial, factor it into two binomials. Then set each binomial equal to zero and solve for the variable.
If the coefficient of first term is greater than 1, you will have to use it to factor as well. I don't have the mimio pad with me to do an example. If you are still having trouble, you can ask me tomorrow.
See you then!
Mrs. Swickey
