Instead of a Khan Academy assignment (you can still go on there if you would like) I’m going to have everyone continue to practice on the MSTEP practice site at home. We have been working on it in class but haven’t been able to finish.

So…

due Thursday:

Hours 1,3: Finish working on the 7th grade practice test. (1-32)
Hours 4,5,6: Finish working on the 7th (1-32) and 8th grade (1-28) tests. Do a total of 40 questions between the 2 tests.

Here are the answer keys for both tests (scroll down to 7th/8th):
MSTEP Practice Site Answer Keys
edit: there is a mistake on the 8th grade math answer key. # 13, 4x + 2 won’t give you “no solutions”, that would give you “infinite solutions.”

….that we will be working on in class:

MSTEP Practice Site

Students may also work on it at home to prepare for next week’s MSTEP.

All classes: Quiz Wednesday on Angles. Cover the last few assignments in the main unit.

**Next Khan Assignments: (These are due Friday, May 4 at midnight)

-Experimental Probability
-Making predictions with probability

Students can access these by clicking their names, I have recommended each for them. Or they can search for them in the search bar.

No late grades on the Khan assignments.

Mr. Suni

All classes: Simple Probability on Khan Academy is due tonight at midnight. No late grades for that.

Hours 1,3: All of # 73 is due tomorrow.
Hours 4,5,6: None.

Quiz this week on Angles. Could be as early as Wednesday.

Finish all of assignment 59.

Hours 1,3: Finish all of Assignment # 71.

Hours 4,5,6: Finish all of Assignment # 58.

Quiz tomorrow for hours 1,3 on circles.

We are not going to be able to get to all of the units that we are supposed to cover by the time we take the MSTEP and NWEA tests. (This is the case in every math class in the district). The unit that we are not going to get to in 7th grade is Statistics and Probability. To help out with this issue a bit, I’m going to assign different standards in that unit on Khan Academy in the next couple of weeks. I will let the students know when each one will be due, and I will update them on the blog.
In order to get an “A” on each assignment, students need to get to the “Practiced” level.
They can earn an “A+” if they get to the “Mastered” level.
They can earn a “C” if they are at the “Struggling” level.
They will earn an “E” if they are at the “Needs Practice” level, as that means they have not attempted any of the problems.

There will be no late grades available for these assignments.
They will be formative grades.

The first standard will be “Simple Probability”. It is due on Monday, April 30.
Students can access the standard by clicking their name in the top, right hand corner. I have recommended the standard in their profile.
