Tuesday, September 27th

Sixth Grade

Today we talked about reducing fractions. Remember that to reduce a fraction, you need to divide both the top number and the bottom number by the greatest common factor. Find what they have in common, and divide top and bottom by that. Be sure to check your new fraction to see if it should be reduced too. The assignment is the half-sheet with fractions to reduce.

Seventh Grade

Math - We reviewed for the test over bar graphs, line graphs, stem-and-leaf plots, box-and-whisker plots and central means of tendency (mean, median, mode, and range). PLEASE study your notes tonight and remember that anytime you graph something, you must always have a LABEL on all parts of the graph. I don't want to take points off of a beautiful graph because you left the labels off...so don't forget!

Geography - Chapter 4 Section 3. Do #1-4 on the Section Assessment.

Eighth Grade

Pre-Algebra: You need to have your design finalized and your poster finished with all measurements, costs, etc., done.

Algebra I: We worked on more equations and learned how to simplify fraction equations. No homework!

See you tomorrow,
