Sixth Grade
Today, the class took a 100 square grid and filled it in with different colors of tissue paper. The assignment is to write down each color used and determine the percent, fraction, and decimal for each of them. So if you used 15 yellow pieces, you would have 15%, 3/20, and 0.15 as your equivalents. Then, fill in the conversion table on the bottom with the correct equivalents. For the last column, use the first example as a guide to find the $ equivalent. (Hint: Look at the # of squares and the $ amount.)
Seventh Grade
Math - We discussed our Capture The Flag activity that we will do tomorrow and the students practiced using the giant protractors to "sight" the flags. Then, the class took notes on Angle Pairs. There is no homework.
Geography - The class took a country quiz today and then we began discussing Chapter 12, Section 3 - over Panama. The students were quite interested in how it was built and why.
Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra: Many students struggled with how to solve equations with parentheses so we spent the class time today going over those again. There is no new homework, but everyone should have HW #10 done for tomorrow.
Algebra I: Dividing polynomials when there is a leading coefficient of x squared.
There are some excellent examples on how to do polynomial division on Purple Math.
See you tomorrow!
