SIXTH GRADE

Today, we began reviewing for the Decimals test. The test will be on Wednesday so we will take one more day to review. At home, be sure to finish through #18 if you haven't already. It is a good idea to go back and review any videos I've done for 6th grade in the last month.

 

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: Today, we talked about how to identify the different types of rational numbers and what the difference is between a terminating and repeating decimal. I made a video with more explanation and it will be below as soon as it finishes uploading! The assignment is #1-25. You do not have to do the back.

Geography: We worked in the Computer Lab today using a website called GEteach.com. The website uses Google Earth to teach various concepts. We had some technical difficulties as several computers would freeze, but we were able to use one computer to compare two Earths next to each other - one with a population density map and the other with a topographical map. It was interesting to see the connection between population and terrain, such as mountains or nearness to water. We will finish the activity in class tomorrow! No homework. 

 

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: We began reviewing for the Equations and Inequalities Test today. The test will be on Wednesday and we will take one more day to review. Be sure to watch the videos for this unit and work through some of the problems. It would be useful to write the equation or inequality down, pause the video and work it out, and then restart the video to see if you got it right. There will be no chance to make up this test of you don't do well, so please study!

Algebra I: Today's assignment is to figure out if the given solution is a solution to the equation. You can plug in the solution for the variable anywhere it is in the equation and see if you get a true statement. (such as 12=12) If you do, then it is a solution, but if you get, say, -3 = 5, then that is a false statement and the given solution is not a solution to the equation. The other way to determine if it's a solution, is to solve the equation on your own and see if your solution matches the solution given. Let me know if you need help!

See you tomorrow,
