SIXTH GRADE

The assignment is dividing whole numbers by decimals. Remember to use the notes you took in your new Mini-Math books. I made a video and it is below! You are doing problems #1-20 and #33-36. The second question on #33 is extra credit.



SEVENTH GRADE

Math: Your assignment is the real world problems (applications) page. Be sure that you draw a picture of what is happening if you are stuck! Email with questions. You can click on the button at the right that says "Contact Me" to send me an email.

Geography: Your assignment is to determine how far it is between each of the ten pairs of cities I gave you in class. Use an index card to make a scale on the edge, like you did in the Atlas Activity last week. Then using pages 70-71 (the political map of Europe) from  your Atlas to find the distance between the cities. Then, make up two of your own. To do that, choose any two cities on the map (make sure they are on the same page) and figure out how far it is from one to the other. Do this TWICE. So, you will have two pairs of cities.

EIGHTH GRADE
 Pre-Algebra: Today, we discussed the importance of scientific notation and further discussed the meaning of rational and irrational numbers. The assignment for tonight is to look up six "things". Three of them have to really small and three have to be really big. For really big numbers, it could be the distance from here to the sun. It could be the weight of a planet. For really small numbers, you might look up how much an atom weighs....or how wide a strand of hair is. Once you find your things, write the number in both scientific notation and standard form. 

Algebra I: We began reviewing today for the first unit test. We will continue to review tomorrow and the class will have a handout to help them review.

See you tomorrow!
