SIXTH GRADE

The class was on a field trip on Thursday and at their class retreat on Friday. I made a video for the assignment from Wednesday though. If you are stuck, this should help!

 

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

We did not have a new assignment on Friday. I let the class study for their Geography test during math. Your homework on area of parallelograms is due on Monday though. Let me know if you have any questions!

 

GEOGRAPHY

The class took a test on Friday. COUNTRY QUIZ on MONDAY! It's our last one. We will get to add all remaining flags to passports on Tuesday.

PRE-ALGEBRA

The 8th graders were not in class on Monday, so I let the 7th graders study for their Geography test.

ALGEBRA I

Helen worked on her placement test review during class, so I didn't make the other two do anything new.

See you on Monday! (or tomorrow at the banquet)

SIXTH GRADE

The class learned about integers today. Remember, an is any  positive whole number and its opposite, plus zero. That means - no fractions and no decimals. Absolute value is how far away a number is from zero on the number line. Absolute value is ALWAYS POSITIVE. The opposite of a number is whatever you'd add to it to get zero. (opposites can be negative) The opposite of 3 is -3. The opposite of -4 is 4. The absolute value of 3 is 3. The absolute value of -3 is 3. It's 127 in the book - it's the first lesson on Integers.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

We had a short class today so we did not finish the lesson. There is no homework! We will finish tomorrow.

GEOGRAPHY

The class took a country quiz and then we reviewed for the Africa Test. The test is Friday. We will not have class tomorrow because of yearbook signing. (There might be about 10 minutes at the end.) So it is important to study at home! Please let me know if you have any questions.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Identifying triangles and quadrilaterals.

ALGEBRA I

We practiced completing the square today on the SmartBoard. Each student took a turn and worked through a problem. Then, they had fun making up problems for me to solve! No homework.

See you tomorrow.

SIXTH GRADE

The class took a performance assessment today. No homework!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Circles - you are doing #6-17 on the page with circumference and area of circles. It is in chapter 8. Here is a video with a few examples:

GEOGRAPHY

Today, Mrs. Basset from Pre-School came to talk about life in South Africa. There is no homework, but there IS a country quiz tomorrow! Be sure to get notes. Any country in the world. There is a test over Africa on Friday. I passed out the review today.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Transformations - Rotations. Here is a video with some examples:

ALGEBRA I

Completing the Square. Please let me know if you need help!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

There is a performance assessment tomorrow. We reviewed in class today, so be sure to go over the review.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Lesson 7.6 Circles - You are doing #1-23. Let me know if you need any help!

GEOGRAPHY

The class took a country quiz today and then we finished going over the effects of colonialism in Africa. There will be a another country quiz on Wednesday. The test over Africa will be Friday. I am giving out a review tomorrow. Also, Mrs. Basset (from pre-school) is coming to 7th grade tomorrow to talk about life in South Africa.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Transformations - Reflections. Please let me know if you need any help!

ALGEBRA I

Solving quadratic equations by the square root method. Let me know if you get stuck!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

 

Today's assignment was two-step equations. Here is a video with a few examples!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Lesson 7.3 - Triangles. Remember, you can classify a triangle by its sides or by its angles.

By its sides:

No sides the same length: Scalene.

2 sides the same length: Isoceles

All three sides the same length: Equilateral

By its angles:

Acute: all three angles are acute

Right: One angle is a right angle

Obtuse: one angle is obtuse

So, a triangle can be a right triangle that is also isosceles. That means it has one right angle and two sides are the same length.

Also, don't forget that the three angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees. So if you know two of them, add them together and subtract from 180 to find the third angle.

GEOGRAPHY

We finished Capture The Flag: World Domination! Ean and Sam won! Good job.

THERE IS A COUNTRY QUIZ TOMORROW. GET NOTES.

PRE-ALGEBRA

You are doing a worksheet that covers the same material from Monday. Watch the video from Monday for more help.

ALGEBRA I

Begin reviewing for the test over radicals. We will continue the review in class tomorrow!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. Swickey

SIXTH GRADE

You have a test tomorrow over equations. Be sure to go over the review we did in class. Also, bring the review with you because you will have to turn that in for a grade.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Your assignment is 7.2 #3-17. Here is a video for you!

GEOGRAPHY

Today, the class prepared for our field trip to the zoo tomorrow. We have an activity we are doing that involves math/science. Then, there is a scavenger hunt/bingo game! It should be a lot of fun.

PRE-ALGEBRA

Lesson 7.1 #1-21. Here is a video for you!

ALGEBRA I

Using the Pythagorean Theorem. Here is a video for you!

See you tomorrow!
