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.

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:)
Remember, to be eligible for tomorrow’s retake you may not have ANY missing assignments in math for this marking period.
The last retake date before the marking period ends is NEXT Tuesday, March 27 in Learning Center from 3-4 pm.
There is also a retake date scheduled for tomorrow in Learning Center from 3-4 pm.
Please sign up using the spreadsheet in google classroom.
The marking period ends just before spring break on Thursday, March 29.
Today in class the 8th graders analyzed other’s work in “Worked Examples” for the exponent rules. This may be completed at home if necessary.
Since the 6th graders had a field trip today, not all classes met. There are two IXL assigned in google classroom. Please try to complete them by Monday. You will have a quiz on area of quadrilaterals soon! You may stop both IXL at 90.
Today in class the 8th graders took notes on Exponential growth functions and began the bookwork in google classroom. We will check this tomorrow.
Today in class the 6th graders took notes on Quadrilateral characteristics and used geometric marks to show congruence and parallel sides. NO homework!
Today in class the 8th graders graphed an exponential function with an initial value of 25, rather than 1. The IXL for today is A.V.5 on the quotient rule of exponents. Please make sure yesterday’s IXL are complete.
Today in class th e6th graders created their own polygons to meet specific requirements for area and shape in, “24 Square Units”. PArt of this assignment is on graph paper, but the other part is an editable document in google classroom. You may take your dorm room home to color and turn it in later if you would like me to hang it up.
Today in class the 8th graders wrote a function rule, and a table, and a graph to model a real-world situation in, “Bacteria,” and then began IXL 8.F.9 on the quotient rule of exponents and A.Z.5 on combining like terms.
Today in class the 6th graders took notes on finding the area of a trapezoid. The IXL is 5.BB.6 on identifying trapezoids. Please make sure your dorm room design is complete by tomorrow.
