SIXTH GRADE

You have a quiz tomorrow over all of the stuff we've done this unit so far! Please finish your quiz review and then watch the following two videos for the answers and explanations. The quiz review will be a completion grade, so be sure to bring it to class tomorrow!






SEVENTH GRADE

Math: We are continuing our Save the Penguins unit in math and science class. No homework!

Geography: There is a test over this unit on Thursday. We began reviewing today. Be sure to study your notes and we will finish reviewing tomorrow!

EIGHTH GRADE

Pre-Algebra: Graphing on a coordinate plane and naming quadrants. If you didn't finish at school, be sure to use your notes to finish at home.

Algebra I: Finish the assignment from yesterday. Remember, you are doing #1-6 ALL, and then #8-38 EVENS. I shortened the assignment so you do not have to go all the way to #48. Please follow directions and use the notes I copied for you to help solve these. Remember a solution to a system of equations will be one of the three things: an ordered pair, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. So, if you are asked to find the solution by graphing, graph the two equations on the same coordinate plane using slope-intercept form. Where point where they cross is the solution. If they don't cross, but are parallel, then the solution is "no solution". If you end up graphing the same exact line, then the solution is "infinitely many solutions".

Next, if you are asked to write whether the system is independent, dependent, or consistent, then remember these things:

A system with one ordered pair solution is INDEPENDENT.

A system that is parallel with no solution is INCONSISTENT.

 A system that gives you two lines that are exactly the same are DEPENDENT.

That's it! If you have any questions, let me know.

See you kn about 45 minutes for the Advent play!
