Grade 7 - Continued to work on BEDMAS or order of operations. Much practice was done on this in class all week and they had time to complete their assignment which was due on Friday. Assignments were handed back to help them prepare for the test on Monday - on BEDMAS, with regular and decimal numbers. We will begin Chapter 3 on Geometry next week.

Grade 8 - Completed and reviewed Ch 2. Students had time to work on assignments and ask questions in class. Assignments were due Friday and will be returned on Monday to help with review for the test on Tuesday. There is extra help on Monday at 1230pm if needed. Next week we will begin Chapter 3.

Grade 9 - Continue to work in Ch 2 on rational numbers. Students have worked on comparing and ordering rational numbers and are now beginning to perform operations with them, including word problems. We have just started section 2.2 and will be continuing with that next week.
*****A reminder that grade 9 students usually have Math homework, sometimes they have 10 minutes to complete some of it in class. Homework is worth marks and ALOT of students are not completing it right now. It is easy marks and will help them with what we are doing in class.
