SIXTH GRADE

We worked on making fractions pieces on Friday. No homework!

SEVENTH GRADE

Math: The class took a test during the math and Geography time on Friday. (It was the short schedule because of House, so classes were only 25 minutes long.)

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Percent problems. Please let me know if you have trouble! I am happy to help.

Algebra I: Linear word problems. I made a video with a few examples, but be sure to look over the examples on the handout as well. My examples may not exactly match the problems on your paper. Remember to think about what each part of the equation represents. If you write the equation in slope intercept form, the y is the whole thing...whether it's salary, total sales, etc. The slope is the thing that gets multiplied by # of sales, # of months, # of items, etc. The y-intercept is the thing that isn't going to be affected by the # of sales, months, items, etc.

The video will be below in a little while. It's almost 9 minutes, so it'll take awhile to upload!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey
