Keep on mathing this summer!

Hi all!
Want to keep up those math skills? Here are some ideas:
Khan Academy-- set a goal of 5 Khan assignments each week and work on skills like fractions, measurement, area and volume, and probability. I also recommend following Khan's 7th or 8th grade mission to get a jump on skills for the coming school year.

Graduation help: call for 7th grade families


The PTO is hoping that 2 family members of 7th graders might be willing to help with 8th grade graduation on the morning of June 19. We're looking for assistance with setting up and serving/cleaning-up the refreshments from 9am until about 11:30. Please reach out to Katie Gruber (katiegruber@yahoo.com; 773 988-9869) if you are able to help with this. Thank you!

Math Week 6-10-19

ALL: We will work on a project studying aerodynamics. Students will design their own gliders and test them for flying accuracy and distance. Students will collect data and then analyze the data using box plots and scatter plots.

Homework for week 6-10-19

7th Grade NWEA TESTING WILL START THIS WEEK ON TUESDAY JUNE 4! PLEASE CONSIDER PLANNING AHEAD FOR GOOD SLEEP AND A HEALTHY BREAKFAST! 
 
7th UChicago: NWEA TESTING!


7th Loyola: NWEA TESTING!

8th UIC: We will review slope, intercept, and intersections.







8th DePaul: We continue with bivariate data and scatterplots. We will use lines of best fit to make predictions via the graph and the equation that the lines of best fit represent. We also are looking at associations of data that can be seen using scatterplots.
