Sixth Grade
Math - Lesson 7. Remember that you need to make your Inch Ruler with the strip of white paper I sent with you on Friday. That will be part of your grade for this lesson! Follow the instructions for the activity on page 31.
Don't forget! Spelling Unit 1 is due on Tuesday. Your first Spelling test is also Tuesday! Be sure you are studying the words.
Seventh Grade
Vocabulary - Unit 1 cards are due on Monday! You need to include the following pieces of information on each card.
In the upper right hand corner, write the unit number.
Write the word and place the accent mark on the correct syllable in the word. You do not need to write the entire pronunciation, just the accent mark.
Write the part of speech and the definition. If there is more than one part of speech, then there will be more than one definition. Write all of them on the card.
That's it!
Unit 1 for Vocabulary is due on Tuesday.
There is no Grammar or Literature homework.
Math - Lesson 6. Divisibility. Remember to follow the rules for divisibility that are on page 35. These should all be written in your MiniMath booklet too. On the practice, for letters a-c, you are just writing all the factors of the numbers. This is just the same as what you did last year. For d-f, you are going to list the numbers from 1-10 that are factors of each. This is where you will follow the divisibility rules. So, if the number was 1,242, you would list all the numbers from 1-10 that go into it.
1 goes into it because 1 goes into everything.
2 goes into it because the number is even.
3 goes into it because when you add the digits in the number 1+2+4+2, you get 9, and 3 goes into that.
4 does NOT go into it because 4 doesn't go into 42 (the last two digits)
5 does NOT go into it because it doesn't end in 5 or 0.
6 goes into it because 2 AND 3 do too.
7 does NOT go into it because I tried to divide it and it wasn't even. (There isn't a rule)
8 does NOT go into it because 8 doesn't go into 242 (the last 3 digits)
9 goes into it because when you add the digits in the number, you get 9, and 9 goes into 9.
10 does NOT go into it because it doesn't end in 0.
You will do the same thing for g and h except you don't have to check to see if 10 goes into them because 10 isn't a single digit number.
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Lesson 7. Remember that when you multiply by a decimal, you don't have to line the decimals up. You just multiply as if the two numbers were whole numbers. Then, put the decimal in after you have the answer. Count how many numbers come after a decimal in the two numbers you multiplied. That's how many places you move the decimal over in your answer.
In division, you have to deal with the decimals first. If the outside number (the divisor) has a decimal point, move it over to get a whole number. Then move the decimal on the inside number (the dividend) the same number of places. Fill in any empty places with zeroes. If you have a whole number on the inside, first add a decimal point to the right of the number, then move it over if you have to and add zeroes.
I will do an example of dividing with rounding:
Algebra I - Lesson 7. I won't do any examples since you all got the practice correct! You are doing a fantastic job so far. Thanks for your hard work!
See you Monday!
