Feb 1 - Feb 5

Grade 7 - Wrote the test for Chapter 5 on Monday. They will be returned this coming week, along with chapter 5 assignments. On Wednesday we began Chapter 6 on Operations with Fractions. Section 6.1 was covered this week on Rules of Divisibility, students copied these down and should be familiar with them. We also began to discuss factors and using factors to reduce a fraction down to lowest terms. We will continue with this concept next week and move on to section 6.2 on adding fractions with common denominators.

Grade 9 - Reviewed sections 5.1 to 5.4 and completed a surprise quiz on Thusday which will be handed back next week. We began the FOIL method, used to multiply binomials. Students have learned the concept, created an explanation of it through a slide show, diagram, etc. and have practiced many questions on it. We will continue to work on Chapter 5 and students should expect another quiz toward the end of next week on the rest of Chapter 5.
