Homework Due 2-19-16

7th: TTM- 3 lessons passed by the end of the day Friday

8th: Handout--Reflections practice (also, do your TTM)

Alg: Create (write the task, the story, and the solution)a systems of equations task like the ones we have done (Khan's chips at the party, or rides at a carnival, or cell phone plans)

Homework due 2-16-16

ALL: Pass at least one TTM lesson in your assigned pathway.

ALL STUDENTS--REMEMBER!!! The second set of passed TTM lessons is due by the end of the day Friday 2-26-16

1. Use Track Your Progress sheets to keep track of your own progress
2. Minimum three lessons each week (2 for Algebra and Mr. Florell Intervention Group)
3. Grading will count as assessment every 2 weeks and be an average of top 6 (or 4) lessons
4. Mr. A has assigned you a pathway based on your NWEA results. Focus on lessons in the assigned pathway!
5. Additional computer time is available in 304 after school on Tues/Thur and during recess Wed/Fri.

Math Week 2-15-16

7th: Students use a balance model to solve equations.

Continue to practice with like terms: Like Terms Invaders

CCSS: 7.NS.1. Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients. 7.NS.4. Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. a. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach.

8th: Students practice vocabulary and notation related to rigid motions (e.g., transformation, image, and map). Students map a rigid motion that moves or maps one figure to another figure in the plane. Students understand that a translation or reflection preserves congruence.

CCSS: 8.G.Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software. 1. Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: a. Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length. b. Angles are taken to angles of the same measure. c. Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines. 2. Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.

Report Cards!

Reminder-- report cards go home  (2-11-16). Please check with your child to see their reports. 8th graders also have Math NWEA data and goal sheets today. 7th graders will have Math NWEA data and goals sheets go home tomorrow.
