Sixth Grade
There is a test tomorrow! Please be sure to study for it. You will be tested over the following concepts:
Place Value up to hundred trillions, including reading numbers aloud (Be sure to look over the place value chart that you wrote out and take your time as you read the numbers.)
Expanded Notation with and without exponents
Rounding Numbers up to the ten thousands' place
Ordering Large Numbers from least to greatest
There will also be a couple of mystery extra credit questions!
Seventh Grade
Math - Expanded Notation with negative exponents. Remember, negative exponents do NOT make the number negative. Negative exponents indicate DECIMAL place value. So, if a number is less than 1, such as 0.000057, you would move the decimal to the right 5 places so that the number is now between 1 and 10. Then, you would write x 10 to the negative 5th power. The most important thing to remember is that if a number is LESS THAN 1, when it is written in scientific notation, it will have a negative exponent. When the number is GREATER THAN 1, it will have a positive exponent.
To change a number from scientific notation with a negative exponent into standard form, you will be moving the decimal to the left. That is how you would make the standard form number less than 1.
Here are a few examples:
Geography - There is a test tomorrow over Chapter 1. Be sure to study tonight! Go over all of the define and identify words, the 5 themes of Geography, and understand the differences in maps.
Eighth Grade
Today, both classes learned about different sets of numbers. Here is the chart that you all copied today:
Click on it to make it bigger.
Pre-Algebra - Use the chart to classify the numbers in 1-10 on the handout. For example, if you are supposed to classify -3, you would see that the first set it is a member of is integers...then it is also a member of rationals and reals. You would write those three sets on the line.
Algebra I - Complete the handout. Be sure to write all of the sets each of the numbers listed in #1-10 is a member of and then put them on a number line as indicated in #11-12. On the back, remember that absolute value is always POSITIVE. It indicates how far the number is away from zero on the number line. So, the absolute value of -3 is 3 and the absolute value of 3 is 3.
See you tomorrow!
