SIXTH GRADE

You are doing #1-17 and #18 is extra credit. I don't have the page number handy, but it is lesson 3-1: Patterns. Email me if you have questions!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

You are doing word problems with unit rates. Refer to the guided problems that we did in class if you need help. Or you can send me an email. Remember to first write the ratio as a unit rate. There is one that you can't without making it a fraction. For that one, just set up a proportion and do cross products. Here is an example of one where you can't make it a unit rate:

Every 9 days, Rachel read 6 novels. How many novels does she read in 12 days?

You would set it up like this:

9 days  =  12 days
6 novels     x novels

Then cross multiply: 6 times 12 = 9x, or 72 = 9x. Then solve by dividing both sides by 9. 72 divided by 9 = 8. So in 12 days, Rachel would have read 8 novels.

SEVENTH GRADE GEOGRAPHY

The class read about South Asia today and then worked on an assignment of the map of Asia. This is due on Wednesday. There is also a country quiz Wednesday.
