The Unit Rate projects look terrific! I feel very confident that students are beginning to be old pros at calculating unit rate for a variety of items!
Our quiz on rates & unit rates will be this Friday, February 21st.
No homework for Wednesday night!
Although I will not be in class Monday & Tuesday, students will continue their work on Unit Rate. Students will work on a project entitled, “Let’s Make A Deal” in which they will determine the unit rate of various items (Cheetos per ounce, Sargento Cheese per slice, Butterball turkey per gram, etc) to determine which store offers the better deal on these items. Students will work in partner groups to complete the project by end of class on Tuesday.
Students! Please remember we have 2 homework assignments from last week that we need to check on Wednesday! The first assignment is from last Monday, Feb 10th, and it is entitled “Ratios & Rates”. The second assignment is from last Friday, Feb 14th, and is entitled, “The Best Buy”. We have allowed ample time to have these assignments completed and ready for class on Wednesday!

Ratios & Rates (Unit Rate) worksheet HW for 2-10-2014
Students will have a quiz on ratios in class on Thursday. No study guide was given as students have numerous resources to study with such as class notes and multiple homework assignments.
We will begin our unit on Rates & Unit Rates on Friday!!
Our unit on ratios is drawing to a close on Wednesday, February 5th, with a quiz on ratios, ratio word problems, and ratio tables.
7th and 8th period classes will have to work extra hard to catch up a missed assignment from last Tuesday night! We worked at least 5 of these problems together during class, so you should only have 5 or less to complete on your own!
HOMEWORK SCHEDULE FOR MONDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 3RD
All Classes………Ratio Word Problems pg. 4
Ratio Word Problems pg. 4
7th & 8th Periods
Ratio Word Problems pg. 7 (we worked at least 5 of these in class!)
Ratio Word Problems pg. 7 HW for 1-28-2014
We are still working with our Ratio Unit focusing specifically on ratios within word problems. Students have already completed a number of ratio word problems with me in class. They should have their ratio sheets for reference on how to set these problems up & solve them. A couple of pointers:
#1 Read the problem two or three times to understand exactly what the problem is asking
#2 Sometimes the problem is giving you the “reduced ratio” and you must construct the “original ratio” by finding relationships
#3 USE LABELS!!!!!!!! They will keep you on track!!!!!
HOMEWORK FOR MONDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 28th
