Today in class the 8th graders took their quiz on exponent rules, polynomials, and exponential functions. Your daily dose of IXL is 8.F.10 on combining exponent rules.
Today in class the 6th graders took their quiz on area. Today’s IXL is 6.E.9 on LCM & GCF word problems.
Enjoy your break!
I was not at school for 1,2, and 3 rd hours because of my math professional development.
Today in class the 8th graders practiced finding growth and decay rates and factors of exponential functions. They were also assigned two IXL to complete in class, 8.BB.6 & A.X.1. You can complete these IXL at home.
Today in class the 6th graders practiced writing integers and finding the absolute value. If you were absent yesterday, you need to watch the absolute value videos and take notes in your interactive notebook on p. 23. Today’s IXL are 6.P.3 on absolute value and 6.FF.10 on geometry.
Today in class the 8th graders worked to graph and create a table for a real-world half life problem. Then they worked with a partner to complete, “Decay Bookwork” in google classroom.
Today in class the 6th graders took notes in their interactive notebook on Absolute Value of Integers. Then we began “Integers Bookwork.” This may be completed at home if necessary.
Today the 8th graders who will attend EFHS & FHS did their scheduling first hour. There is no math assignment for first hour.
In 2nd hour students worked with partners to solve real-world problems with right triangles in, “Distance Applications #1-2”. This is due Monday.
Today in class the 6th graders (3rd & 4th hour only) worked on graphing and area calculation in, “Polygons on the Coordinate Plane”. There is no assignment for 6th hour because of our assembly.
Today in class the 8th graders took notes on exponential decay. Then we practiced using the MSTEP website and took the sample test. You may do this at home, the link is in our google classroom. No new homework, just practice for MSTEP.
Today in class the 6th graders found the area of irregular and regular polygons with 3 and 4 sides on the worksheet, “Area Problem Solving #4-5.” Today’s IXL is 6.FF.5 on area of quadrilaterals.
Today in class the 8th graders read and annotated informational text about radiocarbon dating and half-life. They also reflected on why we are reading this article and how it relates to what we are learning about in class.
Today in class the 6th graders completed, “Mixed Review Area Bookwork” with a new partner and discussed their techniques for problem solving and formula use. Please work on completing yesterday’s IXL 6.FF.8 to a smart score of 95+.
U of M Dearborn is sponsoring Math Circles for the Spring beginning April 10. Please sign up using this link, you will have to scroll to the bottom. We will be meeting in Ms. Bissonette’s room, 189 on Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30 pm. Students should stay in Ms. Bissonette’s room from 3-3:30 to work on homework unless they have another club to participate in.
Please complete the google form at:
Today in class the 8th graders read about exponential decay and analyzed others’ work in, “Worked Examples: Growth & Growth Rate.” Please work on completing your missing assignments.
Today in class the 6th graders checked yesterday’s bookwork and worked with partners to find the area of irregular polygons on the worksheet, “Area Problem Solving #1&2.” Today’s IXL is 6.FF.8 on triangle area. Please work on completing Friday’s IXL 7.AA.3 and 6.FF.4 if they are not complete.
All late work is due Monday, March 26!
Today in class the 8th graders worked with a partner to analyze data and determine if a real-world situation is linear or exponential in, “Population Growth,” and “Gone Fishing.” Please finish these at home if you need to.
Today in class the 6th graders worked to find the area of trapezoids and composite shapes with a partner for, “Area of Trapezoids Bookwork.” You should also be working on finishing up Friday’s IXLs:)
