Sixth Grade
Literature - Questions over Chapter 5 of The Golden Goblet.
Math - Lesson 33. Writing percents as fractions. EVERY percent is out of 100 - so every percent written as a fraction should be written over 100. Then, reduce the fraction. Remember, your final fraction is NOT a percent, so do not put the percent sign! For example, to change 30% to a fraction, first write 30 over 100. Then reduce by dividing both 30 and 100 by 10.
30/100 divided by 10/10 = 3/10
Seventh Grade
Literature - The class took a Selection Test over The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. There is no homework!
Spelling - Work on Unit 11 and study for the test!
Grammar - There is an adjectives test tomorrow. Be sure you are going over all of the RED RULES and all of the tan boxes in each section of the adjectives chapter.
Math - Lesson 29. Rounding Whole Numbers and estimating. The class understood rounding really well. Remember, when you are asked to estimate an answer, first ROUND the numbers before you compute (add, subtract, multiply, or divide).
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Lesson 32. Variables and evaluation.
Remember, to evaluate an expression, change the variables to the numbers they represent and follow the order of operations rules.
Algebra I - Lesson 32. This lesson is just like Lesson 30 except that the statements now form equations instead of expressions. Write the equation out in the same manner that you did the expressions from Lesson 30, and solve the equation.
See you tomorrow!
Mrs. Swickey
