Thank you to all the parents and families that were able to attend Parent-Teacher Conferences on either Monday or Wednesday. It was a pleasure meeting with everyone! If you were unable to attend conferences, but have questions/concerns about your child’s math grade, performance, or NWEA level, please email me so we can set up a time to meet.

Students are continuing to practice adding and subtracting decimals with signs. Some are still finding it difficult to remember the correct integer rules to apply. We also started solving one-step equations with integers and decimals. They should be “checking” and graphing each solution, as well.

HOMEWORK:

Complete the four addition equations on the handout for our notebooks.

Important Dates:
Tuesday, Nov. 3 – NO SCHOOL (Election Day)

Wednesday, Nov. 18 – Late Start

Wed. Nov. 25- Sun. Nov. 29 – Thanksgiving break

We’ve been reviewing how to change fractions to decimals using long division this week, as well as reviewing all operations for decimals.

HOMEWORK:

Hours 0,2,4,5– ws #15 (#1-6 for each decimal operation)

Hour 6- ws#15 (#1-3 for each)

 

Important Dates:

Parent-Teacher Conferences – Monday, Oct. 26 (4-7pm) AND Wednesday, Oct. 28 (3:30-6:30pm)

Students worked on an “Integer Operations” puzzle in class today and will complete it in class tomorrow. No Homework!

Study guide for adding and subtracting integers (7.NS.A.1) completed and corrected together in class. Use it to study this weekend for the Quiz on Monday.

 

HOMEWORK: ws #10 Adding/Subtracting Integers “quilt” page

Last week

• Students completed practice with integers, additive inverses (opposites), and absolute value, as well as completed vocabulary maps for these terms for their math notebooks.
• Students began adding integers and created a foldable to remember the rules for adding integers with the same sign or different signs.

This week

• We have continued to practice adding integers, and we are using the rule “Keep-Change-Change” to rewrite a subtraction problem into an equivalent addition one in order to use the addition rules for integers. Students added this information and examples to their integer rules foldable.
• Integer Top It game
