Math Grade 6

This week the students are still working on Module 8.   This module covers percents.   Students will be converting percents to fractions, fractions to percents, percents to decimals, and decimals to percents. Students will also be solving percent problems using proportions and equivalent ratios. There is a quiz on percents on Tuesday, 3/6. Extra help is Wednesday mornings at 7:30,

 

Math Grade 7

The students are finishing up our unit on 2-dimenional Geometry. We have learned about various angles such as complementary, supplementary, vertical, and adjacent. We also explored finding the area and circumference of circles. Students also explored how to find the area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. We also learned how to find the area of irregular and shaded figures. There will be a unit test this Tuesday, 3/6. Following the exam, we will begin our next unit which covers 3-dimensional geometry (surface area and volume).

 

 

Pre-Algebra

We are beginning our next unit on two- dimensional geometry. We will be exploring translations, reflections, rotations and symmetry.   Graph paper will be very helpful for this unit. This week our focus will be on dilations, symmetry, similarity, and congruence.   There are not any tests or quizzes this week.

 

Algebra

This week students are finishing up with Chapter 8. This unit explores polynomials, monomials, factoring, FOIL method of multiplying binomials, and D.O.T.S (Difference of two squares). This week the focus will be on factoring binomials and factoring by grouping. There will be a quiz on Monday, 3/5 on factoring. The Unit exam will be on Thursday, 3/8.
