Math Week 12-2-19

ALL: Progress reports go home on Friday, December 13. Reminder to all students that almost every assignment can be redone or corrected for more credit! Also, bonus assignment on Google Classroom is due December 6.

7th grade: We will continue with constant of proportionality and how it shows up in equations. We will then use equations of proportional relationships to solve tasks. At the end of the week we will also start learning about the graphs of proportional relationships. It's the math of things like hot chocolate. On the side we will review stem and leaf plots.

8th grade: We will explore how the concept of similarity in mathematics works. We will then use that conceptual understanding to build an understanding of slope and eventually, rate of change.

Math Week 11-25-19

ALL:

• Reminder that the Food Drive ends Tuesday. See link below.
• Pajama Day on Wednesday 11-27-19. Where your school appropriate jammies!

7th: We review mean, median, mode, and range. Also we talk about misleading graphs and the way people use lack of understanding of mathematics to lie to you.


8th: We will block out the sun the way Mr. Burns did on the Simpsons. Dilations, understanding circles, pattern recognition, and linear algebra.

NO HOMEWORK!


There is a bonus assignment shared in Google Classroom.

Math Curriculum

Hi all! Today at Parent Conferences, a parent asked about the Open-Up curriculum we are using. It is all online and had a family and student component! Check it out here: OPEN-UP MATH

High School Fair!

7th: We are in our unit on proportional relationships. We will specifically look at how to find and use the constant of proportionality.

8th: We finish our short angles unit with our mostly student constructed test on Tuesday. Then we spend some time understanding dilations before we move to slope in the coming weeks.
