I apoligize for not updating the blog last week - I guess being pregnant is making me forgetful :)
Grade 7 - Have finished Chapter 3 and are reviewing for the test. Chapter 3 test is on Tuesday Nov 30. Extra help and review will be done in class on Monday and at lunchtime on Monday as well. The chapter 3 assignment (airport runway system) is due on Monday. On Wednesday we will begin Chapter 4 on Fraction, Decimals, and Percents which we shold finish before Christmas break.
Grade 8 - Are in the middle of Chapter 3. This is an important chapter and we will be taking our time going through it to make sure everyone has an understanding of the concepts. Students have been assigned a project for the Chapter that is due on Monday Dec 6. Some students are working on this individually and some are working in partners. Presentations for the project will happen the week of Dec 6 to 10. We will continue working in Chapter 3 and will probably finish in 2 weeks with a chapter test.
Grade 9 - Have finished Chapter 2. The Chapter 2 assignment was due today, Thursday Nov 25. It will be corrected and handed back on Monday to use for extra help and review for the Chapter 2 test on Tuesday Nov 30. On Wednesday we will begin Chapter 3 on Powers & Exonents and should finish before Christmas break.

November 1 - November 10
Grade 7 - Have started chapter 3 and are now on section 3.3. Much of this chapter has to do with drawing lines, parallel & perpendicular, angles, etc. The students will have an assignment for this chapter which is the Mathlink for the chapter. They will be working on it continuously throughout the chapter - it is to create an airport runway. Students have sheets to complete, a rough copy to draw and will be required to complete a good copy at the end. A due date has not been given on the assignment but it will probably be sometime during the last week of Nov.
Grade 8 - Tests for Chapter 2 were returned on Tuesday Nov 9. We have started Chapter 3 on Pythagorean Relationship. Currently students are working on squares and square roots and eventually we will use that information to understand the theory. Students will have an assignment for the chapter which has not been given or passed out yet, but it will most likely be to create a slideshow explaining the theory and relationship. We are only on section 3.1 and there are five sections in the chapter so we will be continuing to work through chapter 3 over the next couple of weeks.
Grade 9 - Students now have access to the textbook online. If any parents or students wish to get the textbook online, they can use their own username and password or the one created for parents is username: kndrmc@hotmail.com password: parents9
The website is mytextbook.ca, click on ebook and then enter the information.
Students are continuing to work in Chapter 2 on operations with rational numbers. We finished working on decimals are are currently on the section with fractions. Most of this work was all reviewed at the beginning of the year, so we are getting through the chapter quickly. Next we will be working on square roots and then finishing the chapter with an assignment and a test.
