Math Grade 6

This week we will be continuing with module 10. This will explore the beginnings of Algebra. We discussed variables, coefficients, and constants and explored how translate words into an algebraic expression. We have also learned how to evaluate an expression when the value of the variable is given. This week our focus will be on distributing, factoring and combining like terms.   There will be a quiz on Tuesday, 5/1 on evaluating expressions. Extra help is Wednesday mornings at 7:30.

Math Grade 7

The students are working on their statistics unit. We have already explored sample and populations, discussing bias and unbiased samples. Then we reviewed measures of center, such as mean, median, and mode, quartiles and how to construct of box and whisker plot. We have also learned how to construct frequency tables and histograms. There will be a test on Thursday, 5/3 on the statistic unit. Extra help is Wednesday morning at 7:30.

Pre-Algebra

This week we are finishing up our unit on Pythagorean Theorem, Distance, and Midpoints. There will be a test on these topics on Tuesday, 5/1. The rest of the week will focus on 3 dimensional geometry.     Extra help is Wednesday mornings at 7:30.

Algebra

This week we are finishing up our chapter on Quadratics. Students have explored the axis of symmetry, vertex, finding the roots, and solving quadratics using the zero property and completing the square.   We also have practiced using the quadratic equation in word problems. The test for this chapter will be on Thursday, 5/3.
