The IXL for homework is written at the top of the worksheet you received on equivalent ratios.

It’s time to clean out our folders and only keep review tools.

YOU MUST KEEP THE FOLLOWING…

1- Strategy Cards for all units. (We have strategy cards for Geometry, Adding/subtracting/multiplying fractions and decimals, and for Expressions and Equations. They are usually Orange or Pink).

2- SLOT booklets

YOU MAY RECYCLE THE FOLLOWING…

1- Worksheets for all units. We will be starting a new unit (Ratios) when we come back from break

2- Old tests. Just keep your tests for the 5th card marking. (Equations test and Inequalities test),

During spring break you have the following tasks to work on:

1- Rational Number Adventure (click the link below for directions and an example)

Rational Number Adventure

2) IXL Y6, P1 and P2 (to 100) You will turn in your work for 10 problems from each of the IXL’s.

If you would like to “run with it,” I recommend completing the following IXL’s as well Y7 and Y8 for 6th grade level. Also, K6 and k8 (5th grade).

I hope you all have a refreshing break and come back even more pumped to learn and grow. See you on the flip side!

Integers, Adding/Subtracting/Multiplying Decimals and Fraction.

Below are the answer keys for the homework so you may check your work, review for mistakes:

You get one extra day to study! Due to the snow day tomorrow, the test will be Friday. I told you guys there would be a snow day 😛 😉 Kidding!!!! Enjoy the day off and study some more.

Describe how you may use the following strategies to create equivalent algebraic expressions:

1- Combine Like Terms/Expanding

2- Distributive Property

3-Commutative Property

We have learned some of the foundations of Algebra including equivalent expressions. If you are ready to run with it, here is some more in depth practice of equivalent expressions:

-IXL Algebra AA1 and AA7

-IXL 7th grade R10

-IXL 8th grade S12
