Sixth Grade
On Friday, we practiced more addition with menu math. I passed out two different take out menus and listed 3 "orders" on the board. Each student needs to calculate the cost of each order. Then, you must make up an order of your own and ask 2 family members to make up an order. Remember, you must choose at least 2 items. You can use whichever menu you'd like. Be sure to write down the items you and your family members choose.
Seventh Grade
Math - Order of Operations worksheet. Remember to always do multiplication or division first - whichever is first from left to right. Then you can do addition or subtraction - also whichever is first left to right. If a number is "stuck" to a parenthesis, that means you have to multiply the number by whatever is in the parenthesis.
Geography - There is a quiz on Tuesday over the 50 land and water forms. Be sure to study them as sets from each day. The test will consist of 5 sets of matching the definition to the land or water form. Then, you will have to identify 10 landforms or water forms from pictures.
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Order of Operations worksheet. Remember to first simplify anything in grouping symbols, then simplify the exponents. Then, multiply or divide - whichever is first left to right. Then add or subtract - whichever is first left or right. Be sure you are also following the sign rules for adding and subtracting signed numbers.
Algebra I - Order of Operations worksheet - continued. The problems are more complex so take your time and show your steps. You will make more mistakes if you do not write down the steps as you work each problem.
As always, write if you need help!
See you on Tuesday,
Mrs. Swickey
