Today in class the 8th graders practiced calculating correlation coefficient on the graphing calculators.  Bellwork was IXL A.KK.8 on trends of scatter plots.  Your only homework is to make sure this week’s IXL A.K.10 is complete for Monday’s quiz on inequalities.

*Monday is the last day to turn in “The Meaning of Correlation” and “Correlation Connections”.

Today in class the 6th graders learned about calculating tax and tip in the assignment, “Tip Your Waiter, Please.”  Today’s bellwork was IXL 6.G.1 on decimal operations without a calculator. Please finish anything you need from class at home.

Today in class the 8th graders learned how to create scatter plots on the graphing calculator to find the correlation coefficient.  Then we had time to work on completing yesterday’s IXL A.K.8 on inequalities or “The Meaning of Correlation”.  Please complete these at home if you are not done. Your quiz on inequalities is scheduled for Monday.  

Today in class the 6th graders finished giving presentations.  Bellwork was 6.V.5 on discounts. Classwork was IXL 6.X.3 on coordinate graphing. Most students completed these both in class but some may need more time at home.

Today in class the 8th graders watched a short video on direction and magnitude of correlation coefficients and then began the assignment called, “The Meaning of Correlation Coefficients”.  Students may complete this in class tomorrow.  Today’s bellwork was IXL A.K.10, which we will continue in class tomorrow as well. You have NO HOMEWORK! Your quiz on inequalities is scheduled for next Monday.

Today in class the 6th graders continued yesterday’s bellwork 6.GG.13 on circle graphs. Then we gave some presentations of their discount slideshows. They also had time to work on yesterday’s assignment, “Shopping Spree”. This is due tomorrow:)

Today in class the 8th graders worked in pairs to analyze real-world situations and determine the type of correlation in, “Correlation Connections”. Then they completed, “Scatter Plots Worksheet #1” to read and analyze scatter plots. Finish this at home if necessary.

Today in class the 6th graders began IXL 6.GG.13 but it is NOT homework. We will continue it in class tomorrow. Students calculated sales tax in different states in the assignment called, “Shopping Spree”. This may be completed at home if necessary.

Today in class the 8th graders read text about creating scatter plots and wrote to summarize this text. Then students were given a worksheet called, “The Waitress”, to graph and analyze scatter plots. We will check this tomorrow if you need to finish it up at home.

Today in class the 6th graders had an IXL 6.V.1 on percents and got back their quiz on percents.  The opportunity to make corrections is in google classroom. Then we learned about sales tax by reading and answering questions in, “What is Sales Tax?”. This can be completed at home if you didn’t finish it in class.

Today in class the 8th graders worked in pairs to complete, “Paying the Rent”, and “Eating a Banana”. Then they worked towards completing IXL A.K.8 on inequalities. You have NO HOMEWORK over the break unless you need to complete the IXL!

Today in class the 6th graders took their lesson 5 quiz on percent applications. You may finish your Turkey graph over the break if you need:) You have NO HOMEWORK unless you need to finish the turkey.

Today in class the 8th graders worked with a partner to solve and graph a real-world linear function in, “Casey’s Cakes”, and to describe a real-world graph in, “High Tides”.  There is no homework unless you need to finish these at home.

Today in class the 6th graders continued their presentations. I also gave them 10 minutes to work on their turkey graphing picture. You will have a quiz tomorrow on the orange packet, lesson 5 percents. This packet will be collected tomorrow. You may turn in the Turkey graph on Tuesday, or after the break.

Today in class the 8th graders continued to graph real-world scenarios in their interactive notebook. They were also given 10 minutes to work on yesterday’s classwork, the Distance-Time graphs Write-Up, which is due today.

*Monday is the last day to turn in test corrections for “Multiple Representations”, Algebraic Relationships worksheet, and Distance-Time graph Write-Ups.

Today in class the 6th graders checked the orange packet on lesson 5. Students were told to keep it and study it to prepare for next week’s quiz on lesson 5. They were also given a coordinate graphing picture to complete and 1/2 hour in class to work on it. This is not due until next Tuesday at 2:15, so pace yourself! You do not need to complete all of it today:) They were told to only complete part 1 over the weekend and I would give them class time on Monday as well.

*Monday is the last day to turn in Circle Graphs, and Calculating Prices.

Today in class the 8th graders spent the hour working on their Distance-Time graph Write-up. This is homework if it was not completed in class. It is due tomorrow, or Friday. The last day this will be accepted is Monday!!!! Bellwork was IXL A.K.1 and it was completed in class.

Today in class the 6th graders began presenting their discount slideshows. To finish these will take a few days. Then they were given time to complete yesterday’s orange packet for lesson 5. This is due tomorrow, so please finish it at home if you need to.

Today in class the 8th graders had time to work on this week’s IXL. We took notes on qualitative graphs and did the assignment called, The Parachute” in google classroom. There is no homework!

Today in class the 6th graders worked to peer revise their discount slideshows.  They also began their orange packet on lesson 5 with a partner. We will continue this in class tomorrow.  The orange packet is due on Friday. There is no homework unless your slideshow in incomplete or needs revision.
