Math 8

We reviewed and continued working on the Pythagorean Theorem.  The formative assessment from yesterday on the Pythagorean Theorem was returned to students today, and we reviewed it together.  It was sent home for signatures.  (Report cards also need to be returned with signatures, please.)  The concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) for tonight is on pages 43 and 44 - #6abcd, #7abc, #8 and #9.  I estimate that we’ll be ready for a test on the Pythagorean Theorem next Wednesday or Thursday (Dec. 5 or 6).  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Today, students continued learning how to compare and order fractions and decimal numbers.  We also had an important discussion regarding the way in which we complete homework and show our work.  Because of this, today’s concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) is the same as yesterday:  complete Example 2 from class using Example 1 (which we did a second time as several students said they did not understand yesterday) as well as Friday’s concept reinforcement (page 89 - #5, #6, #9 and #10).  This is the last time students will be given multiple opportunities to do their homework properly.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 6

We continued discussing decimal numbers and how to represent them in a variety of ways (in a table, with words, symbolically and using expanded notation).  The concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) for tonight is on page 91 - #9 (represent the numbers symbolically, using words and using expanded form).  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.
