Number System: We took our last SLOT quiz on plotting points in the coordinate plane and everyone mastered it. This is important because we will be plotting points on the coordinate plane to form polygons and find area and distances. Homework is to complete SLOT #4 (see homework attachments page).
Geometry: We worked in groups or independently today because some students needed to work on the basics of finding area with me and other students worked on complex problem solving to find area using versatiles.
Khan Academy due Friday! 30 minutes and complete the following skills: 1. Area of parallelograms
2. Area of trapezoids
3. Points in the Coordinate Plane
Advisory: Please bring gently used shoes for donation!

Homework is to complete the definitions for our Geometry list #2 (coordinate plane) in our ISN. This list and the definitions are under the vocabulary page in my blog.
Monday, October 17, 2016
Number Systems: We are working on plotting and naming points in the coordinate plane. Homework is to complete the first SLOT quiz (see homework attachments page).
Geometry: We worked on finding area of various polygons using Versatiles. We had an exit ticket today and quiz tomorrow will be on finding area of parallelograms and trapezoids.
Homework for the week: Khan Academy 30 minutes including skills:
- Area of Parallelograms
- Area of Trapezoids
- Points in the Coordinate Plane
Friday, October 14, 2016
Homework is to complete practice handout on area of parallelograms and trapezoids using the formula only (see homework attachments page).
The quiz will be Tuesday.
Thursday, October 13, 2016
Homework is to complete:
- Area of trapezoids (see homework attachments page) SHOW work using decomposing and the formula!
- Khan Academy 30 minutes; skills were distributive property and area of triangles
Quiz Tuesday on area of parallelograms and trapezoids.
Retake for area of triangles is Monday at 7:30 am.

Number System: We are working on finding equivalent expressions using the GCF and distributive property. Today’s SLOT quizzes are much improved! Tomorrow will be the final quiz.
Geometry: We worked in groups to find area for parallelograms and trapezoids using decomposing into other polygons such as triangles and rectangles. We then took notes in our ISN on using the formula. Our homework is to practice both methods on the practice page given (see homework attachments page).
We have a shoe drive to collect as many pairs of gently used shoes to give to charity. Please bring in as many as possible to your advisory teacher tomorrow!

Number System: We took our SLOT quiz on writing expressions using the GCF and distributive property. This score is on student connect gradebook but we have 2 more quizzes this week. If you progress on the next quiz, your score will reflect that!
Geometry: We took our quiz on area of triangles, squares, rectangles and complex figures.
We began to investigate area of parallelograms and trapezoids.
No new homework but complete your 30 minutes on Khan Academy for the week by working on skills
1)Factor with the distributive property and 2)Area of triangles
Monday, October 10, 2016
Number System: We are working on writing equivalent expressions by using the distributive property and factoring the greatest common factor. We practiced with a partner and tomorrow will be the next SLOT quiz.
Geometry: According to Friday’s exit ticket, we needed more practice in finding base and height using dot paper in finding area of triangles. Quiz is postponed until tomorrow. Refer to the practice quiz we completed on Friday to study.
Homework:
- Khan Academy 30 minutes this week. Skills assigned are
- Factor with the distributive property
- 2) Area of triangles
2. Textbook page 32 numbers 4 to 6 and 11 to 16
3. Tissue donations (1 box = 1 extra credit point)
Thursday, October 6, 2016
Number System: We used whiteboards to practice writing equivalent expressions using the GCF and distributive property. Tomorrow will be the first SLOT quiz on this skill.
Geometry: We completed a foldable on finding area of triangles in our ISN and worked with a partner to practice. Homework is in the attachments page. Tomorrow we will have a practice quiz and the quiz is Monday.
4th hour was behind and have to finish their classwork as well which is practice handout on finding area using grid paper.
FINAL DAY for ilearn basic skill quizzes and summer learning Khan Academy minutes!
