Students participated in an Hour of Code today in our math class! Coding is a method of preparing commands in order to make an object on your screen do something very specific. The Hour of Code is designed to peak your student’s interest in computer programming and I think it worked! So many students showed me their work and it is truly amazing what they were able to create! Hour of Code was a success!!!

Study Guide #7 Exponents & Order of Operations

Students played a card game today that required them to use the cards they were dealt to create an Order of Operations expression to equal a specific number. It was very challenging to say the least! Students worked really hard and I am so proud of their effort!

We are preparing for our next gold test this Friday, November 30th. Students will be given Study Guide #7 on Thursday and we will work the majority of it during class together. Here is the study guide in case you want a preview:

Study Guide #6 HW for 11-6-2018

We are rounding out our study of the coordinate plane with a big gold test this Wednesday, November 7th, on the following skills:

• defining integers
• identifying integers for real-life situations
• solving for absolute value of integers
• identifying and labeling parts of the coordinate plane
• graphing ordered pairs on the coordinate plane
• identifying quadrants on the coordinate plane

Students created a very detailed foldable that was glued into their math notebooks today in class. This should provide them with a terrific resource for their homework as well as they begin to prepare for their gold test on Wednesday. Here are the notes we took today in class:

Study guides will be given out on Tuesday and worked Tuesday in class. If a student does not finish it in class, it will be for homework. And as always, the review of the study guide is expected the night before the test.

Skills Practice The Coordinate Plane pCP12 HW for 11-05-2018

Students continued working with integers today in class! We were able to complete both our classwork and our homework before the end of class!

No homework for Thursday night, October 25th!!!!

Students continued their study of integers today! Our focus in class today was the proper ordering of integers. It made students think really hard about where certain integers are on the numberline! I encouraged everyone to think back to the numberline we recorded in our math notebooks yesterday and to keep a mental picture of that in their minds as they worked on today’s assignment. Here is the numberline I encouraged everyone to use today as they worked:

Our classes worked together to complete examples of ordering integers. We have to pay close attention to the order that is being asked in each problem! This is what we completed together in class today:

Homework is the same skill, presented in the same format! Pay special attention to the order in which they are asking for the integers!
