Science 7 / Math 7

Today, we did not do a science lesson so that we could have a double math period.  During our first math class, we finished the section of the unit in which students learn to compare and order fractions and decimal numbers.  Today’s warm-up was a formative assessment on this topic, and the concept reinforcement is page 95 - #5, #6a and #10.  We then began reviewing for next week’s district math benchmark assessment taking place on Wednesday, December 12.  Students were provided with an outline of topics they need to review prior to next Wednesday.  We will review these topics over the next several days in preparation for the assessment.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 6

We continued estimating products and quotients and did a formative assessment on this topic as our warm-up which also included a question on representing decimal numbers in a variety of ways (symbolically, with words and using expanded notation).  After the warm up and after reviewing yesterday’s homework, we had a work period during which we finished the section of the unit on estimating products and quotients.  The concept reinforcement is page 94 - #6 and #7.  At the end of class, students were provided with an outline of topics they need to review prior to next week’s district math benchmark assessment taking place on Wednesday, December 12.  We will review these topics over the next several days in preparation for the assessment.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Science 8 (Math 8)

Today, we did not do a science lesson so that we could begin reviewing for next week’s district math benchmark assessment taking place on Wednesday, December 12.  Students were provided with an outline of topics they need to review prior to next Wednesday.  They were also given a review sheet on integers and 3D objects which most students completed during class.  We will continue to review the topics covered so far this school year over the next several days in preparation for the assessment.  There is no homework.
