SIXTH GRADE

Homework #2. Today, you are just going to do rows 1, 2, and 3. That's 15 problems. If you aren't sure which ones to do, let me know. I'll help you!

SEVENTH GRADE

Math - Homework #2. You are doing columns A, B, and C on both pages. That's it! Don't do columns D or E. Let me know if you have any questions!

Geography - Atlas Activity worksheet. Lesson #1. Use your atlas to answer the questions! 

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Homework #3. Multiplying and dividing mixed numbers and fractions. Remember to always change mixed numbers to improper fractions. If you are multiplying, cross cancel wherever you can and then multiplying across. If you are dividing, flip the second fraction and then cross cancel and multiply across. Let me know if you have any trouble!

Algebra I: For the first part, you are just defining the terms. Use your notes! Then, you are going to circle the bigger number - whichever is furthest to the right on the number line.

For #17-26, you are using set notation to name the set and then writing them on a number line. For these, you are doing whole, natural, or integers so you will use dots only on the number line. Tomorrow, I will want you to explain why that is, so be sure you understand that you don't want to indicate anything in between the actual numbers (fractions and decimals).

If it says to name the natural numbers between -2 and 7, you will do this:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} because the natural numbers are the same as counting numbers. The first counting number greater than -2 is 1. Also, since it doesn't say "inclusive" you don't include the 7. On the number line, you would have dots on these numbers only with no arrow.

For the rest, remember that you are just graphing on a number line. You don't have to use set notation to indicate these numbers. So, if you are going to indicate all the REAL numbers between -2 and 7 inclusive, you would have a closed circle on both -2 and 7 and then a dark line connecting the two. You put a closed circle because it says "inclusive". That means you are including the -2 and the 7. If it didn't say "inclusive" you would still put circles on the -2 and 7, but they would be open circles - not filled in to show that you are starting just after these numbers, but aren't including them.

Here's another example: Graph all the real numbers that are greater than 0 but less than or equal to 5. Now, you would put an open circle on 0, since you can't include the 0. (zero isn't greater than zero!) Then, you'd put a closed circle on 5 because it says it could be less than or equal to 5. So, that could also be the 5. Then you'd draw a darkened line between the two.

If you aren't sure, you can email me! I'll be at the PTC meeting and Back to School night, but I will be able to write you back after that.

See you tomorrow!
