Week of September 24:

Monday, September 24:

Today was all about our rational/irrational numbers. We went over the worksheet we’d started on Friday and finished over the weekend, discussing some of our different answers.

After that, we got to work on another practice for rational v. irrational numbers while Moylan passed back our quizzes from last Wednesday and explained some of the scores.

Any student who got a 0-2 on a standard is expected to do the Evaluating and Order Extra Practice to help prepare for our upcoming test!

Today we added the next section to our Interactive notebook: Consecutive Integers!

We talked about the two formulas we’ll need to solve these problems, and then did a bit of practice to really drive the skills home.

Wednesday, September 26:

We added our last new page to our interactive notebooks for this unit: Perimeter!

We defined what perimeter is, and then we figured out how to write equations for it from different word problems.

Thursday, September 27:

Today is our chance to practice our skills a bit more with those consecutive integers and perimeter problems that we were introduced to earlier this week.

Friday, September 28:

Since we’ve been having so much trouble remembering what a classroom community is supposed to look/sound like, we held a restorative circle.

For those of you who are not familiar with these, a restorative circle is when we all sit together in a circle and take turns responding to prompts/questions to get us working together. The goal is to repair our relationships without blaming anyone or getting angry with one another, so that we enjoy coming to class each day and look forward to working with our classmates.
