Don't Forget!!! Tonight is the PTC meeting and Back to School Night The PTC meeting starts at 6:00. I hope to see everyone there! Parents only, please.
Today in math, the class played a dice game to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts as well as addition skills. They loved it and were very engaged! Then, I gave them another handout to practice multi-digit multiplication.
Math - There is a test tomorrow! The topics will include:
Place Value
Scientific Notation with positive and negative exponents
Properties of Numbers
Order of Operations
Be sure to go over the properties of numbers and scientific notation especially! These are completely new topics to 7th grade.
Geography - Most of the students finished the Review and Assessment for Chapter 2 today. Be sure to do the Main Ideas, Map Activity, and Critical Thinking. There will be a test on Friday over Chapter 2.
Pre-Algebra - There will be a test on Friday. We started discussing some of the topics on the test and will continue tomorrow. The class also played a dice game to practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. It really strengthened their skills!
Algebra I - The class continued working on the handout from yesterday. Today's topics included determining whether a given number is a solution to an equation, writing equations given a word sentence, and evaluation with absolute value. I don't have the problem #'s with me right now so ask a friend if you can't remember which ones to do or email me later! I'll be at school this evening and will be sure I bring home the assignment numbers.
See you tomorrow!
