We are pushing through to the finish for our project this week!  Students have three major components to our project: a chart of MMMR calculations, a letter to parents, and a bar graph displaying the data they calculated. All three components are due tomorrow! We’ve had 4 full days of working on this project…..some folks have worked very diligently and are just about finished with their work; other folks have socialized and chatted and are now figuring out they are in a pickle! Check with your student to see where they stand on this project!

1st and 3rd period were assigned homework for tonight:

Today was the second day of our “Attack of the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range” project/webquest!  Students were given a rubric and we discussed, in great detail, the components of the project and the type of work I am expecting from them!  Here are the components we talked about in class:

Shark Attack project components

This is such a great project as it incorporates technology, math, AND a writing component into one assignment…..something you don’t find everyday in math! This assignment will be counted as a GOLD grade because it is so involved and lengthy. What a wonderful opportunity for students to show their proficiency with a skill besides another test!

NO HOMEWORK FOR MONDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 22ND!!!!

ENJOY!!!!!

Monday:  Finding the “IS”

Tuesday:  Finding the “%”

The skill of calculating the Percent Proportion is the same as we learned on Monday. However, the focus of the calculation changed today!  Today we learned how to find the percent one number is of another number.

Same formula:  is/of = %/100

Refer to your class notes in your math notebook if you need additional help!

Monday, February 8th

Friday’s Fraction, Decimal, Percent test was a success! For the most part, students showed proficiency in converting between fractions, decimals, and percents!

So…….we’ve moved on to The Percent Proportion! We have a very specific way to teach students to find the percent of a number! Extensive notes were taken today during class, including many examples. Please refer to your student’s notebook in order to help them with their homework.
