Math Week for 12-9-19

ALL: The 7th graders are doing a Winter Wonderland (we missed our Haunted House due to the strike!) on Wednesday 12-18-19, 4-6 p.m. as part of our Ray Family Night series.


We need your help with decorating supplies! Click here for a link to our requested donations list!


The theme of the Family Night will be T'was the Week Before Winter Break. There will be our Winter Wonderland, story time, a Chicago Children's Choir performance, and cookie decorating.


7th: We will finish our unit on proportionality with looking at proportional graphs. Key ideas are that a proportional graph is a line graph that is straight (linear) and goes through the origin.


8th: Meet slope! We will look at how similar figures help us define slope and then use slope to start conceptually thinking about equations of lines-- that lines are just a collection of infinite points! Woah.
