PLANNERS!

Hello students and parents!

All seventh and eighth grade students are receiving planners today (1-4-16). It is our hope that having a planner will help students be and stay better organized. Students are to have their planners with them for each class they attend and we will be checking planners daily during advisory/intervention period. Please make it part of your routine to check your child's planner with them on a daily basis to help keep him/her on track!

1. Direct Variation
2. Partial Variation

Review Game: Space Race

Review Movie: Math Antics

CCSS 7.NS.1 Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram. b. Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real‐ world contexts.

8th: Students can find solutions to linear equations in two variables using substitution. Students keep track of solutions as input and output using a table of values

CCCS: 8.EE.C.7b Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
8.EE.5 Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways.
8.F.A.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
