Sixth Grade
Math - Today we worked on a couple of concepts. First is naming and placing mixed numbers on a number line. Second is the divisibility rules. We can tell if a number can be divided by certain numbers by following these rules:
A number is divisible by:
2 if the number is even - or ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8
3 if the sum of the digits in the number can be divided by 3. (For example, the digits in the number 135 add up to 9; 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 and since 9 can be divided by 3, so can 135.)
5 if the number ends in 0 or 5
6 if the number is divisible by 2 and 3
9 if the sum of the digits in the number can be divided by 9. This is the same kind of rule as for 3 above.
10 if the number ends in 0.
The assignment is a number line worksheet and to find the numbers that can go into the 10 numbers that were written on the board.
Seventh Grade
Math - Today, we worked on a class activity that connected math and Geography. There is no homework!
Geography - We continued the math activity and then read Chapter 4, Section 2. Do the define and identify words.
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - The class continued working on their cell phone holder projects today. Be sure to have posters for tomorrow to finish up the holders and presentations.
Algebra I - Equations with multiple steps. Remember that the answer is no solution if you end up with a false statement, such as 5 = 3. Email me if you have questions!
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. Swickey
