First, Second, Third Periods
Students in these classes began learning how to calculate the mean (or average) of a set of data today. Remember: find the sum of the data and then divide by the # of pieces of data.

Homework Practice Mean HW for 4-30-2014

Seventh and Eigth Periods
Students in these classes learned how to calculate the volume of a 3D figure today. The formula for volume is V = l x w x h

Finding Volume of Rectangular Prism pg. 2

Tuesday, April 29th

Students began actual calculations of volume today in class. The formula for volume is:

V = l x w x h
Volume = Length x width x height

Only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd periods were in class today due to early dismissal. 7th and 8th periods have a lot of catching up to do! Come ready to work on Wednesday!

Students and Parents! ASPIRE testing begins next week, May 5th & May 6th!

Thursday, April 24th

Students worked on a project today in class. They are constructing four sets of 3D nets, showing how they calculated the number of faces, edges, and vertices. Their project will also include a calculation showing total surface area for the net.

Enjoy the nice weather this afternoon!!!!!!

Tuesday, April 22nd

To learn how to calculate surface area, students have been working with “nets” of 3D figures. A net is like a blueprint of what a figure looks like when laid out on a flat surface. We have learned to calculate the area of each shape in the net, then add all of those areas together to find “Total Surface Area”.

2 Solid Fig Rect Prism and Triang Prism HW for 4-22-2014

Thursday, April 16th

Blue Team students began a new unit of study today, Solid Figures & 3D shapes. Our unit begins with very easy concepts such as faces, edges and vertices but it will quickly progress to more abstract concepts such as surface area and volume. Please make every effort to have your student in our math class over the next two weeks as direct classroom instruction is vital to their understanding of these new Common Core standards!

BIG AREA & PERIMETER TEST ON TUESDAY

Students were given a study guide today to aid them as they prepare for our Big Area & Perimeter Test on Tuesday, April 15th! I will take the study guide for an accuracy grade tomorrow before the test.

Please remember that you MUST know these formulas in order to be successful on the test. No charts or formulas will be made available to the students as they test tomorrow. Students have been required to write the formula for each and every problem they have worked over the last 2 weeks in an effort to ensure they know the formulas by heart! Quiz your student tonight to ensure they know the formulas!!!!
