I know I haven't been very good with keeping up my blog each night! I am going to make it a New Year's Resolution and really work on keeping it up to date so both parents and students have the information they need.
For today, Sixth Grade has a Divisibility Rules #2 worksheet. It will look very similar to yesterday's homework, but it's a second page to give them more practice.
Seventh Grade does not have homework tonight, but they are retaking a test over operations with fractions and scientific notation tomorrow! Be sure you go over the review again tonight!
Seventh Grade Pre-Algebra is doing a worksheet with practice on how to change fractions into decimals and decimals into fractions. Here is a video with a few examples:
Eighth Grade Pre-Algebra worked on an in-class activity today. No homework! We will finish tomorrow.
Algebra I finished their linear equations test today! No homework.
See you tomorrow for our last day before Christmas Break!

SIXTH GRADE
Today's assignment is the handout about outliers and their effect on the mean. An outlier is a number in a data set that is much smaller or much larger than the other numbers. In other words, it's the number that doesn't belong with the rest. It's different. For example, given the following data set:
25, 28, 24, 8, 23, 27
8 is the outlier because it is the number that is different from the others. Sometimes the outlier can be larger.
I can find the mean of the 6 numbers above (including the outlier) by adding and dividing by 6. The sum of the numbers is 135 and divided by 6 is 22.5, so with the outlier, the mean is 22.5.
If I took the outlier out, then the sum of the other 5 numbers would be 127. If I divide 127 by 5 (not 6, since I took a number out), I get 25.4
You can see, including the outlier, the mean is smaller. So a small outlier will bring the mean down. The same works for an outlier that is much larger. It will raise the mean.
SEVENTH GRADE
You are changing scientific notation to standard form and standard form to scientific notation. Please email me if you need help!
SEVENTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA
Your assignment is #1-8 on the page in your book on graphing inequalities. I don't have the page number handy. It is in chapter 6.

SEVENTH GRADE MATH
The homework for today is more adding mixed numbers. You do NOT have to do the whole page. There are a lot, so you will have class time to work on it tomorrow.
SEVENTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA
The class used today's time to work on corrections. No homework!
EIGHTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA
The homework for today is the assignment with matching an inequality to the correct graph and solving 4 two step equations.
ALGEBRA I
No homework! We timed the cars today to find the speed. Tomorrow we will run the activity, solving distance problems and then running the cars to verify the answers. It'll be fun!
See you tomorrow,

SIXTH GRADE
We began reviewing for the graphing test today. The test will be on Wednesday and Thursday. It is a two part test because of how many graphs have to be created. That takes awhile! Tonight, be sure to do graphs 3 and 4 from the review.
SEVENTH GRADE MATH
Today's homework is multiplying mixed numbers. You are doing page 138, #19-31. Remember to first change mixed numbers into improper fractions by doing the U-turn. Then cancel where you can and multiply across. If your answer is an improper fraction, change it back into a mixed number. Also, for the first 4, the word "of" means times. So you are multiplying. Be sure to put the whole number over 1.
SEVENTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA
More practice with equations with terms on both sides. You are only doing #1-18 on the worksheet.
EIGHTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA
You are working on addition and subtraction inequalities. The homework is Lesson 6-5 in the textbook. I don't have the page number handy. You are starting at 1 and ending at the end of the section on solving and graphing on a number line.
ALGEBRA I
Homework for tonight is the Distance Word Problems where you have to decide if it is an equal distance problem or a total distance problem. Let me know if you need help!
See you tomorrow,
