Math Week 10-26-15

FIELD TRIP ON THURSDAY OCT 29!! We are walking to the Logan Center to watch a movie on perseverance as part of the Chicago International Children's Film Festival. Please return permission slips ASAP! Pack a lunch for the trip Thursday.

7th: We are still learning about ratio and proportion as it is a foundation of algebra. This week we start writing equations to represent proportional relationships. 

7.RP.A.2C Represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost t is proportional to the number n of items purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t=pn.

8th: We are starting with understanding linear equations. Fluency in writing and solving equations is essential in learning the language of algebra. This week we are focusing on the big idea that equations "balance" and that there are equations that have one solution, no solution, or an infinite number of solutions.

8.EE.C.7a Solve linear equations in one variable. a. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions.

Homework for weekend Oct 24-25

7th/8th: Return Field trip slips Monday. We are going to see a movie about perseverance at the Logan Center next Thursday, OCT 29 as part of the Chicago International Children's Film Festival. Bring a lunch!

Math Week 10-19-15

7th Grade: We will continue working with ratio and proportion. Specifically this week we will begin use graphs to determine relationship proportionality. We will review coordinate geometry to help us with our graphing.

7.RP.A.2 Recognize and represent proportional relationships between

quantities.


8th Grade: We continue with Scientific Notation. We will solve tasks in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with numbers written in scientific notation.

8.EE.A.3 Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other (scientific notation)

8.EE.A.4 Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology.

Homework Due 10-19-15

7th: None

8th: Glencoe pg 63 #1-7 (due to the Assembly on Thursday, I am giving everyone an extension until Monday to get this complete)

Math Week 10-5-15

7th Grade: We will continue working with ratio and proportion. Specifically this week we will use unit rates to convert between measurement units (example: feet to yards, gallons to quarts, meters to centimeters, etc.). Make sure your child knows the conversions that we took notes on in class.

7.RP.A.1 Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.

8th Grade: This week we continue with exponents and how exponents are used in solving tasks in algebra. We have practiced with Product of Powers and Quotient of Powers rules. At the end of last week we started Power to a Power rule. This week we look at how to use negative exponents.

8.EE.A.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions.
