Dec 20 - Dec 22

Grade 7 - Completed an assignment on the first part of Ch 4. Everyone received the assignment on Monday, students had time in class Mon & Tues to work on it, as well as their own time and were expected to pass it in by the due date - Wed, Dec 22...if not completed and passed in before the Christmas break, students knew they would receive a zero. Assignment marks are posted on SAS. When we return in January, assignments will be returned, we will review them and continue with Ch 4.

Grade 8 - Project marks were returned on Tuesday and are posted on SAS. We began to review for Ch 4 and will actually start work in the chapter when we return in January.

Grade 9 - Students wrote the Ch 3 test on Monday, receieved their marks on Tuesday but tests were not handed back, they will be given back after the break and the marks are posted on SAS. On Tuesday, students did group work to begin to prepare for Ch 4, which we will begin when we return in January.

I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas Holidays! See you in the New Year!

Dec 13 - Dec 17

Grade 7 - Ch 3 Projects were handed back, we discussed these in class and students should be able to answer any questions you may have about them. We continued to work on Chapter 4 and got through section 4.2. Students will have an assignment on Chapter 4 and what we have done so far - I will give it out on Monday. The assignment is due on Wednesday and they will have time in class to work on it and ask questions on Monday and Tuesday. The assignment must be completed and passed in before the Christmas break or students will receive a zero, we went over this in class and they all know about it. I will not have a chance to return the assignments, but marks will be posted on SAS as soon as the assignments are corrected.

Grade 8 - Wrote the Chapter 3 test on Tuesday. It was handed back on Friday and we went over it. Project Marks for Ch 3 will be handed back next week. We began Chapter 4 on Percent. Most of section 4.1 was covered. We will continue with the chapter next week, but not get too far into the chapter before the Christmas break. When we return, we will review what has been completed so far and then continue with Ch 4.

Grade 9 - Finished Chapter 3. We used class time on Wed, Thurs, and Friday to review and study for the test that is on Monday Dec 20th. If students are not in school on Monday to write the test, the MUST make arrangements to write it before the break begins on Wednesday or they will receive a zero - we went over this in class and all students are aware of this. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week will be used to review for Chapter 4 on Scale Factors & Similarity, which we will begin in January. I will do my best to get tests corrected and returned on Wednesday, but marks for the test will be on SAS over the Christmas break for sure.

Dec 6 - Dec 10

Grade 7 - Have started a new chapter on decimals, fractions, and percents. We have learned how to convert from one form to another. Students were given two handouts that they should be studying for the chapter and will need to know. We began to find percents of numbers later in the week and will continue to work on this next week. An assignment or quiz will be completed on what we have done in the chapter so far on the Monday or Tuesday before Christmas break.

Grade 8 - Chapter 3 presentations of assignments were completed this week and marks will be returned before the break. Chapter 3 test is on Tuesday, extra help was offered on Friday and is also offered on Monday. On Wednesday we will begin Chapter 4 - there may be a small quiz before the Christmas break on what we have done so far in the chapter.

Grade 9 - Continue to work on Chapter 3. This week we learned and practiced all of the exponent rules and completed sections 3.2 and 3.3. We will be finishing the chapter this week with section 3.4 and review or the chapter. A chapter 3 test is planned for Monday (20th) or Tuesday (21st) of the last week before the Christmas break. If students know that they will not be in class, they should arrange to make sure they have written the test before the break. After the break, we will begin on Chapter 4.
