Math Week 10-23-17 to 10-27-17

7th: 

Students use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems Students determine if a relationship between quantities is proportional using tables and/or linear graphs. Students understand that percent is a special proportional relationship out of 100.

8th:
Students find the slope of a line from a graph. Students find the slope of a line from two points. Students understand that slope is constant and is a measure of the rate at which a relationship changes proportionally (directly or partially).

Math for Week 10-9-17 to 10-13-17

7th grade: Students will work on deciding whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.


8th grade: Students will continue to work with numbers in scientific notation. Students will add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers written in scientific notation.
