Math 8

We began reviewing fractions today in preparation for Unit 3 during which students will be multiplying and dividing fractions pictorially, concretely and symbolically.  Students were given 3 review sheets to complete.  They were given about 25 minutes during class to do so.  Several students finished before the end of class.  Anyone who did not finish is asked to do so at home. You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 7

We began Section 4 of Unit 3 today (multiplying decimal numbers).  In the middle of the lesson, there was an example in which students had to multiply a 2 digit number by another 2 digit number.  Students said they did not know how to do this, so the lesson turned into a simple multiplication lesson with natural numbers instead of decimal numbers.  We will continue to work on multiplication of natural numbers tomorrow before going back to multiplying decimal numbers.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 6

We began working on Section 3.4 of the unit today which involves multiplying decimal numbers smaller than 1 by natural numbers.  The concept reinforcement is on pages 101 and 102, #3, #5 and #6.  Students were given about 15 minutes during class to complete this work.  Several students finished before the end of class.  Anyone who did not finish is asked to do so at home.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Science 8

Students worked in groups of 2 or 3 to create a step-by-step procedure for an activity of their choice.  They will present their procedures in class with the idea of the assignment being that their classmates have to try and guess the procedure being described.  Students who did not submit their good copy at the end of class today are asked to do so tomorrow.
