Sixth Grade
In math class today we graded yesterday's assignment and went over some of the answers. Then, we spent some time playing a math/reasoning game. There is no homework!
Seventh Grade
Math - Today the class learned about double-line graphs. The homework is to make a double-line graph with the data set I passed out today. You are either graphing the high and low temperatures from July 2010 or from July 2011 in Oklahoma. It will be interesting to compare the two groups of graphs tomorrow! We will make a double-bar graph tomorrow using some school data.
Geography - Today the class made another population density map - this time being more specific. Instead of just two colors, there are five to separate out the densities a little more. We will then compare the two maps in class tomorrow. We also read Section 2 of Chapter 3 about Human Migration. Be sure to do the identify and define words tonight as well.
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra - Today we worked on a "Cartoon Corner" from one of my Mathematics magazines. We were figuring the average size of a step for the class and then determining how many steps it would take to burn 24 calories. Be sure to answer part of question #4 (how many calories burned in a day.) We will do some more figuring tomorrow. The class is definitely using their computation skills!
Algebra I - Today we graded the homework from yesterday and the class took a short quiz over the material. Then we played a math/reasoning game. There is no homework!
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. Swickey
