Students can try word problems for an additional challenge

Extra practice for equations and inequalities quick check. I have additional resources in class that I do not have a digital copy of. Students can take ANY of the resources home from the back of my room and bring them back on the day of their test. 

Students need to complete the problems for the FACE math. This is a review of what we have covered. Answers on the answer key are highlighted in orange (sorry it's difficult to see). Drawing/coloring the face is optional.

 

Students also need to finish the classwork from today.

Writing Inequalities Worksheet (blank copy and answers attached)

The kids had 10 problems to do which I got from the attached link. Please complete the first ten problems and check the answers. We will continue practice solving/writing inequalities this week. The CC6 test will be next Thursday/Friday. 

 

Students need to complete the Snowman worksheet. Students MUST write equations as that is what we are trying to learn. Parents - please check to see that your child has completed the Writing and Solving Equations worksheet and checked their equations and answers online. Writing equations is difficult at this age so if students are only trying to find answers (without writing an equation) they are avoiding what I am trying to teach them. We will have our first quick check on Solving Equations and Inequalities on Feb 2nd/3rd. 

Students need to complete 5/10 word problems making sure to focus on defining variables and creating equations instead of just finding the answers.  

 

We will finish this sheet next week for homework. There are additional word problems in their course 3, volume 2 book.

I apologize for not updated the website with homework for the passed week. Here are the keys for the homework assignments that should be completed.

Students need to finish the unit rate worksheet. Answers attached. 

Students need to study for their test on percents on Thursday/Friday. Attached is the key to the homework called "Percent Review" as well as additional study resources (Totem Pole, Percent of change worksheet and goal problems key).

 

Students need to finish the percent of change and review sheet (answers attached). Notes and additional practice is also attached. 

Interest and commission worksheets and goal problems (key attached). 

 

Period 1 needs to do complete 5 problems on the Interest worksheet and problems 4 and 7 on the commission worksheet. This is what is mandatory. I suggest that kids complete both of these pages before their test next week.

 

Period 3 needs to complete the goal problems and correct their answers using the key. The most important thing is that they find their errors and see if they can fix them after they have corrected the goal problems. Are the errors conceptual (you don't know the concept and need extra help) or procedural (you are making calculation errors or silly mistakes and you need to slow down or check your work). Period 3 students should also make sure to complete both of the attached worksheets before their test a week from today.

 

Period 4 needs to complete the pink and blue sheets for homework.

 

 

Students need to work on the Percents Word Problems worksheet. Answers attached. 

 

The green sheet (level 2) and answers are for extra practice. I recommend students complete it before their quick check on Thursday/Friday October 27th/28th. 

Mental Math worksheet (attached). 

Students need to complete the % worksheet and check their answers (attached).

Students need to complete the attached as well as complete their defense packets by Thursday/Friday if they are defending.

 

Attached are the answers for the book pages in the CC3 defense packet. Students wishing to defend a concept category need to turn in the completed defense form by Monday 10/10. Packets are due the day of the defense (10/13-10/14). 

Study for your quick check! Extra practice for finding the distance between points in a coordinate plane using Pythagorean Theorem can be found on the following pages in the course 3, vol. 1 book:

Pg. 436, #9

Pg. 430, #18, 19

Pg. 438, #21

 

Answers for odds in the back of the book.

Students need to complete 5 problems from the attached worksheets. They can choose the level but are encouraged to do at least 3 level 2 problems and/or 2 level 3 problems. 

I did not assign homework today in class but here are some resources for kids that would like to practice Pythagorean Theorem at home. I will be adding more resources by the end of this week. 

 

The book has a lot of good Pythagorean Theorem problems (course 3, vol 2) starting on page 411. 

 

Their quick check on Pythagorean Theorem will be on Thursday/Friday October 6th and 7th. 

 

 

Students need to research Pythagoras and jot down 5 facts to share in class on Monday. Students also need to choose another mathematician and jot down 5 more facts. This should have been done in class after they finished their test unless they didn't have time.

 

We are starting Pythagorean Theorem next. 

Students have their second quick check on Thursday/Friday on Irrational Numbers. 

 

Homework: Pink sheet (attached), #73-78. 

 

For extra practice kids can continue with the pink sheet, work on the blue sheet (attached), work on problems in the book (course 3, volume 1, starting on page 71). Kids should also use their goal problems as a study took. They can try the problems again on a separate sheet of paper. The emphasis is on Irrational numbers - knowing how to approximate square roots using perfect squares and being able to put rational and irrational numbers in order and locate them on a number line (see learning targets). Also, the square roots scavenger hunt is attached.

Students need to memorize the first 20 perfect squares and the first 10 perfect cubes by Monday. Students also have a worksheet on irrational numbers to complete. Worksheet and answers attached. # 11 should be 2.8.

 

Test scores are in Aeries and will be passed back this week. Students will have a chance to test on CC1 again at the quarter and the semester. Defenses replace previous or current grades. More information will be posted closer to the end of the quarter and semester. I am very please with our scores for CC1 overall!

Students need to make flashcards for the first 20 perfect squares and first 10 perfect cubes so that they can memorize them by Monday. All the information is in their notes.

 

Scores from our first quick check will be posted on Aeries as soon as all students take the test. I am hoping to post grades and give back papers by Thursday/Friday of this week.

 

PLEASE COME TO BTSN ON WEDNESDAY IF YOU HAVE TIME!!! 

Students need to practice for their first quick check on Monday on CC1 (see learning targets). I offered tons of practice to kids in class and have attached almost everything here as well. Kids were also told they could take pictures of handouts and answer keys which I have in my classroom. 

 

The HW due Monday is titled "Exponents #2".

 

Students who have questions over the weekend can email me @ [email protected]. They should send a picture of the problem they need help.

Complete the Sci-note worksheet. Answers attached. Test on Monday!

Students need to practice converting numbers to and from scientific notation (HW attached). We will begin multiplying and dividing with numbers in sci-note on Tues/Wed. Our first quick check will be on Monday 9/12.

Students will review all exponent rules for homework. Worksheet/answers attached.

 

 

Thank you for a great first week! There is no homework over the weekend except to try and get the recommended supplies for class - dry erase markers, felt or sock for eraser, binder/dividers, paper, pencils and pens. Please bring the composition book I gave you to class every day.

 

We will be continuing exponent rules next week and then move to scientific notation.

 

We are scheduled to pick up textbooks next Tuesday/Wednesday and I will be handing out learning targets on Monday.

 

 

Have a great weekend! 

1. Work on getting materials needed for class (by Monday) listed on the statement of success which was distributed to students and posted on the website. Students who need supplies can talk to me before or after class or send me an email.

 

2. Complete OOO challenge. Answer will not be posted online. I would like to discuss answers in class. If you would like to access either of the videos online at home go to youtube.com come and search "Colin Dodds OOO" and "Order of Operations Challenge."
