Homework and Announcements
1/21/2020
I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! This week, each class will be moving onward in their units. Please read below:
Math 6 We are continuing our unit on fraction operations and wrapping up the final operation: division. Everything in this unit can be found in your textbook at home, and this week will come out of investigation 3 of the Let's Be Rational text. 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. Remember that at the end of each lesson, I have detailed where to find the lesson overview and extra practice problems in the textbook. Your only homework this week is MathXL. We might take a partner quiz on Friday. This is a BIG "maybe" as I do not want to over-test, but I also feel it would be beneficial to wrap up all of the operations with a nice little assessment. If we take a quiz, it will be a partner quiz to alleviate some of the stress. Topics Covered this Week At this point, we have covered addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions. This week, we will be diving in division. This is the first operation that you most likely did not see in elementary school (although I know of a few fifth grade teachers who cover it). Throughout the week, continue to analyze what division means: splitting or grouping. If you would like additional review or practice. I recommend reviewing pages 47 - 54 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 Last week, we completed the Circles unit and took a unit test. Please check your score online and plan for a retake if you earned a D or an F. We are going to begin a new unit title Proportional Relationships and Percentages. This unit does not match anything in your textbook at home. We are adding this extra unit in simply because the CMP3 text doesn't dive into percentages as much as we need to. That said, your daily lessons will be your best resource for notes, new vocabulary and practice problems. Your homework this week is MathXL. Topics Covered this Week Comments are closed.
