SIXTH GRADE MATH

Today the class took notes on adding and subtracting with decimal numbers. The assignment for today is page 34 #18-27. You do NOT have to estimate today. Just do the subtraction.

Many students were confused yesterday about what to do. I am giving everyone who misunderstood a second day to complete yesterday's assignment. You need to first estimate - whether regular estimation or front-end estimation with money - and then find the actual sum of the numbers. You will have TWO answer for each on yesterday's assignment. Watch the video I posted for the examples.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Today's assignment is the adding and subtracting integers color worksheet. Remember to follow the rules in your folders!

SEVENTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA

You also have the adding and subtracting integers color worksheet.

EIGHTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA

Today's assignment is page 88, #1-30. You are evaluating expressions with powers and exponents and simplifying using the order of operations. Remember to use our new method, GEMA. (grouping symbols, exponential expressions, multiplicative operations, and additive operations) Multiplicative operations includes both multiplying and dividing. Additive operations includes both adding and subtracting. If you have any questions, let me know!

ALGEBRA I

Today's assignment is page 40 #2-80 evens. You are adding with real numbers today. You are doing signed numbers (including fractions and decimals). Remember the rule for adding with signs: if the signs are the same ADD and keep the same sign. If the signs are different, SUBTRACT, and use the sign of the bigger number. It doesn't matter if you have fractions or decimals. You do the same thing! Email me if you have any questions.

See you tomorrow!
