Homework Due 3-9-16

7th: 
1. Design a spinner so that the probability of spinning green is 0.
2. Design a spinner so that the probability of spinning green is 1.
3. Design a spinner with two outcomes in which it is equally likely to land on the red and green parts.

8th: Handout--describe the sequence of transformations

ALG: Handout--Solve and Graph Inequalities

Math Week 3-7-16

7th: 
  • Students understand the vocabulary of probability.
  • Students understand that probability is expressed between 0 and 1.
  • Students find the probability of simple events.
Link to some Probability Basics: here

CCSS: 7.SP. Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate
probability models. 5. Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.

8th:
  • Students understand dilations and how to create a figure’s image on the coordinate grid after it undergoes dilation.
  • Students understand scale factor.
  • Students know and use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side lengths

CCSS: 8.G.Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software. 4. Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
8.G.Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. 6. Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. 7. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.

TranStar: Transformations Game!

https://www.mangahigh.com/en-us/games/transtar

Think Through Math Update!

ALL STUDENTS--The next set of 6 (or 4) TTM lessons is due by March 11.


  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 replacement of your lowest TTM score to date. Grading will be out of 6 (or 4) lessons passed.
  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.

Homework Due 3-4-16

7th: Handout: Translate Verbal Expressions to Algebra Expressions

8th: Handout: Translation on the Coordinate Grid Practice

Alg: Sub Packet
