Jan 11 - Jan 15

Grade 7 - Continue to work on Chapter 5 Probability. We completed up to section 5.4 this week. On Monday we will be discussing the Chapter 5 assignment which will be due on Monday, Jan 25 and can be found in the text book. A test on Chapter 5 will be coming up at the end of next week or the beginning of the next. This time we are going to do a practice test and go over it in class before we write the actual test to see if this helps students. There is extra help on Monday at noon and there will be more offered closer to the test.

Grade 9 - Continue with Chapter 3. There is a quiz on sections 3.1 and 3.8 on Monday. This week we reviewed these two sections and worked on extra sheets to help with understanding and for extra practice. There will be a class of review and questions on Monday, first period and third period we will write the quiz. This week we will also begin Chapter 5.

Jan 4 - Jan 8

Welcome to 2010!!!

Grade 7 - We have started Chapter 5 on Probability and completed sections 5.1 and 5.2 this week. Included in these sections is writing probability in fractions, ratios, and percents and using charts to organize outcomes of probability. Assignments completed before Christmas were returned on Friday. This week we will continue with Chapter 5.

Grade 9 - On Monday & Tuesday we worked on a sheet of exam/assessment questions from what we have worked on since the beginning of the year. This is the second sheet of questions I have given the students and they will be very helpful for their exam at the end of the year. We started Chapter 3 and will only be completing sections 3.1 and 3.8. The rest of the week was spent on section 3.1, students are finding this section somewhat difficult and we will be going over a lot of the work in class. It is about creating equations from written statements and then solving the equation. This week will be spent completing Chapter 3 and preparing for a Chapter 3 quiz early in the following week. Assignments completed before Christmas were returned on Friday.
