SEVENTH GRADE

Math - We went over questions from the assignment yesterday and then graded it. The class then took a timed addition test. There is no homework this weekend!

Geography - The class continued taking notes in Geography. There is no homework!

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: We graded the assignment from yesterday and then went over how to add and subtract fractions again. Also, we discussed how to compare fractions. Remember, to compare two fractions by cross multiplying, multiply the denominator of one fraction with the number of the other. Do this with both denominators and compare the numbers you get when you multiply. To compare fractions by finding a common denominator, just do the same thing you'd do if you were adding them and then compare the numerators. Homework is assignment #2.

Algebra I: We finished taking notes over sets of numbers today and practiced determining which set each number belong to. Then, we practiced writing set notation. There is no homework!

Have a good weekend. I'll see you all on Monday.
