April 19 - April 22

Grade 7 - Continued with Chapter 8 on circles. We learned about measurements on a circle and how to find circumference. Students should know the following terms and what they mean - radius, diameter, pi, and circumference. They also worked with different formulas related to circles this week and those should be copied down in their binder. This week, we will be reviewing and moving on to area of a circle. Assignments were not passed back but should be back to them on Monday.

Grade 9 - Began Chapter 6 on Measurement. So far, we have discussed congruent & similar triangles, how to determine them and the difference between the two. We will continue this and the rest of chapter 6 this week. Quizzes were not returned to the students as there are still a few who were away that need to write it, but most students did see their mark and they will be returned as soon as everyone has completed the quiz. We will most likely write another practice quiz for the assessment this week as well.

April 12 - April 16

Grade 7 - Finished Chapter 7 and passed in assignments on Tuesday. On Wednesday we began Chapter 8 on Circles - we will be learning diameter, radius, circumference, area, and drawing circles. The chapter is fairly easy and should not take too long. A small assignment was assigned - Math Link on Page 272 - 7D is due Monday (April 19) and 7M is due Tuesday (April 20). We will continue with Chapter 8 this week and Ch 7 assignments should be handed back by Thursday.

Grade 9 - Chapter 7 was reviewed Monday & Tuesday and we wrote the Ch 7 quiz on Wednesday. On Monday, we did a practice quiz to help with the end of the year exam/assessment and went through it on Friday - reviewing and going over questions. We will do two more of these in the next month and will do a larger one near the end of the year. This week we will begin Chapter 6 on Measurement - dealing with triangles and angles. Ch 7 quizzes will be returned this week.

March 29-31 & April 6-8

Grade 7 - Finished up Chapter 7. Students are still struggling with subtracting mixed numbers and this will continue to be reviewed. Next week they will be working on a Chapter 7 Assignment, all on fractions. The assignment will most likely be due on Tuesday April 13, but students will have time in class next week to work on it. Subtracting mixed numbers is the only thing not on the assignment - this will be reviewed on April 12 - 14 and a quiz only on subtracting mixed numbers will be given on either April 15th or 16th. After this, we will move on to Chapter 8 on Circles.

Grade 9 - Continues with Chapter 7. Surface area and volume of a pyramid was introduced this week and cones and cylinders will be covered next week. We will continue to review this on April 12 - 15 and write a quiz on Chapter 7 on either April 16th or April 19th. After this, we will begin Chapter 6 on Measurement.

The blog will not be updated again until April 16th, as I am away all next week.
Thanks for all of your ongoing support in Math & I hope everyone has a great Easter Break!
