Homework and Announcements
1/6/2020
Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed the Winter break! Here is everything that is going on this week:
Math 6 We are starting a new unit this week on fraction operations: Let's Be Rational. Everything in this unit can be found in your textbook at home. Students will still be receiving the daily lessons for their math folders simply because I love how efficient and productive we are with this system. However, at the end of each lesson I will detail where to find the lesson overview and extra practice problems in their textbook. Your only homework this week is MathXL and we will be ending the week with a quiz on Friday. Topics Covered this Week We will be learning how to add and subtract fractions. This is a topic that is often covered in fifth grade, but we review it thoroughly again in sixth grade. We will also be expanding to include mixed numbers this year. If you would like additional review or practice. I recommend reviewing pages 8 - 17 of Let's Be Rational (these are the lessons we will complete in class). You can also work through some of the practice problems as outlined on each lesson I assign. Math 7 We will be continuing our circles unit this week. Before break, we learned about circumference and now we will be moving on to area. This is a short unit and we should be wrapping it up with a test next week. Your only homework this week is MathXL. Topics Covered this Week Prior to the break, we learned about Pi (3.14) and how this important number is the ratio of circumference to diameter. More specifically, to find the circumference, you multiply the diameter by Pi. This week, we will be expanding on this knowledge to develop an understanding of how to find the area of a circle.
