Join Ray’s Mini-Math Circles!

Join Ray’s Mini-Math Circles!

What? Come to math circles to solve interesting, open-ended math problems. Explore new topics in math collaboratively and non-competitively.

When? Thursdays during lunch/recess (1:00-1:45)

Who? girls in 7th and 8th grade with Ms. Ruch

These problems are for everybody!

SIGN UP IN MR. ALBRECHT'S CLASSROOM!

Math Week 3-4-19

7th UChicago: We continue a unit on integers. We continue to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers. We use integer operations in context.

7th Loyola: We continue a unit on real world applications of area, surface, and volume of composite shapes made from circles, polygons, and their related 3D forms.

8th DePaul: We continue a geometry unit. This week we focus on the vocabulary of shapes and their parts, as well as, surface area and volume.

8th UIC: Linear systems solved by graphing.

Math Week 2-25-19

7th UChicago: We continue a unit on integers. We continue to practice with adding and subtracting integers. Then we start multiplying and dividing them too!

7th Loyola: We begin a unit on real world applications of area, surface, and volume of composite shapes made from circles, polygons, and their related 3D forms.

8th DePaul: We begin a geometry unit. This week we focus on the vocabulary of shapes and their parts.

8th UIC: We really break the concept down this week. It is important to learn what word mean! If we don't know the words, we don't know how to solve the tasks (or really, understand the world).

Movie Night!

Math week for 2-19-19

7th UChicago: We continue a unit on integers-- subtraction is a lie! It is really just adding the opposite.

7th Loyola: We tell the stories of functions. We practice how to qualitatively describe a function graph.

8th DePaul: We tell the stories of functions. We practice how to qualitatively describe a function graph.

8th UIC: We continue to practice with the how rate of change (slope) is seen in equations, tables, and graphs. We really practice creating equations from a graphed linear line.
