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

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.
