SIXTH GRADE

Today, we worked on a class activity called the "Decimal Chain". Each student had a card with an answer and a decimal division problem on it. One person would go to the board, write their problem down, and everyone in the class would work the problem. The person who had the answer, would call out, "I've got...(the answer" and then go up to the board to write their problem down. It was fun, but still a bit on the noisy side! There is no homework.

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: Today, the class worked on a fraction equivalent page. On one side, you are finding the fraction that doesn't belong with the others in the row, and then picking out another fraction from the box below that DOES belong. On the other side, you are multiplying and dividing to find equivalent fractions.

Geography: Today, we continuing learning about climate zones. The homework for tonight is to make a poster, divided into 6 sections for each climate zone, and draw a picture of the climate zone. Be sure to use color!

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Today, we worked in class modeling equations using tiles.

Algebra I: Today, the class worked with rational numbers to find the "Odd One Out" of each set of expressions.
