Ok no play on words, my day really was! Plus, my taxes are still not done......hey, what? I have a few more hours!
6th: We did a great review today on the CPS unit. If you don't know what that is, just ask your kids, they love it! We will have a TEST tomorrow on Customary and Metric Measures. Some students still really need to study! Below are some great sites for study and practice!
7th: Today in class we used objects taken from real life and measured the surface area. There will be a Quiz on Surface Area of 3D figures tomorrow.
8th-2nd Block: Today we learned another form that linear equations can be written in -Standard Form. Students have 6 problems to do for HW taken from the board where they will need to use Algebra skills to convert from standard form (Ax+By=C) of the equation to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) of the equation. We will learn another way to graph equations written in standard form tomorrow and have a quiz on graphing on Friday.
8th-4th Block: We are currently graphing functions using tables, this is the 7th grade way to graph. We have begun to look for patterns that can be used to graph with a short cut. We will learn this short cut and begin to graph "the 8th grade way" tomorrow. Students have 11.3 worksheet for HW. They need to graph each line, then find the slope and check to see if the pattern we discussed in class today works (Is the slope the same as the coefficient of the x?). Then students should look back at the constants in each equation and study the graphs to see if they have any special part on the graphed line. We will discuss this relationship further tomorrow.
