Math Week 9-18-17 to 9-22-17

7th: Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities. Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.

8th: Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion, which repeats eventually into a rational number. 8.NS.2 Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions.

Math Week 9-11-17 to 9-15-17

Hello all,

This week both 7th and 8th grade students will work on:

• Students learn and practice with posted “Every Day” objectives (These are also the objectives we are working on with our arts partnership with The Revival and guest artist Jeff Gandy. The Every Day objectives are: Say Yes and be in the moment, take care of the ensemble, get each others' backs.)
• Students learn, develop, and practice with norms, expectations, and routines of class, 7/8th team, and school
• Students become familiar with forms, technology, and communication used in 7th/8th grades.
• Students review mean, median, mode, range
  
  

All of the above is to develop students into a community of learners with shared values around a growth mindset, working as an ensemble, and a love of learning
