Math week 4-29-19

Mr. Albrecht and many of the 8th graders will be in Washington D.C. from Wednesday to Friday. 8th graders not going on the trip are still required to attend school! 

7th UChicago: Probability! The way math lets us predict the future! We continue looking at compound events and the differences between independent and dependent events.

7th Loyola: Angles, angles, and more angles. Students should know complementary, supplementary, and vertical, as well as, all the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. We add triangles to the mix this week.

8th DePaul: We continue a geometry unit. This week we focus on the Pythagorean Theorem.

8th UIC: Inequalities. Solve and graph.

7th UChicago: Probability! The way math lets us predict the future! We continue looking at compound events and the differences between independent and dependent events.

7th Loyola: We continue a unit on real world applications of area, surface, and volume of composite shapes made from circles, polygons, and their related 3D forms. We will finish our unit final project.

8th DePaul: We continue a geometry unit. This week we focus on the vocabulary of shapes and their parts, as well as, surface area and volume. Practice using the concept of volume to solve real-world tasks. Also-- reviewing multiplication.

8th UIC: Linear system word problems. Elimination. Practice, practice, practice.

superpowerHER event April 27

My name is Neha and I am the Community Outreach Assistant for compileHer, an organization at the University of Chicago that aims to help girls and non-binary CPS students from grades 6th - 8th pursue their interests in technology education.

 

On April 27th, 2019, our 7-hour event superpowHer, will take place at the University of Chicago.  Girls will work in teams to learn how they can use technology as a superpower through a series of hands-on activities led by University of Chicago students and professors covering exciting topics in computer science. The day will be kicked off with a keynote speaker, and a panel of powerful women will lead a lunchtime panel and discussion.

 

Registration is FREE & open to all middle school students who identify as female or gender non-binary in the Chicagoland area. The link to register and for more information can be found below. If you have more questions please feel free to reply to this email. Thank you for reading this, and I hope you will share this event with your school network! I have attached a poster for easier distribution.
