Sixth Grade
The class took their first today. There is no homework! Monday, we will have our first Math Games Day. It should be a lot of fun.
Seventh Grade
Math - Today, we worked more on Scientific Notation. The class completed a worksheet that mixed positive and negative exponents. Everyone finished in class and turned it in, so there is no homework!
Geography - The class took a test over Chapter 1. No homework!
Eighth Grade
Both groups worked on sets of numbers some more. Everyone has the same handout. Pre-Algebra, stop at #55. Algebra I, you must complete the whole page.
For the section where you have to "describe" the various sets. Just write out what the definition is. For example, to describe natural numbers, you would say something like, "Natural numbers include all the numbers that you say when you start counting, like 1, 2, 3....and continues in the same pattern."
Also, remember that absolute value (when you have a number between two straight lines) means that whatever is inside the lines, is positive. Absolute value is basically "How far away is the number from zero on the number line?" If there is a negative outside the lines, it stays there.
