Math 8:

• Today we reviewed regrouping strategies for addition.

• We started outcome N7, chapter 2 of the student text.  We discussed how multiplying integers is really just a repeated addition.  We learnt how to correctly read the question and how to use the commutative property to change the order of the terms in a multiplication question.

• No homework

Math 7:

• Books were handed out today and they should be covered by Monday.

• Parents/guardians are asked to sign the class handout.  Reminder that homework in Math should not take longer than 20 minutes.

• We began some general review of basic math operations today and will continue it the rest of this week. 

• No homework

Math 6:

• Today we went over how to add using regrouping.

• We learnt the term <<nombre entier>>.  It is a whole number that does not have a decimal.  It can be positive or negative.  We learnt that a number line can be horizontal or vertical.  We also discussed the proper way to say negative numbers in French. (-5 is said <<négatif 5>> and not <<moin 5>>.)
