Math 8

Students wrote their summative assessment on perfect squares, square roots and the Pythagorean Theorem today.  They will write the district math assessment next week, so we will begin reviewing for that Friday.

Math 7

We continued working on Section 3.2 of the unit which teaches students how to compare and order fractions and decimal numbers.  We have been working on comparing fractions using number lines as well as using common denominators.  The concept reinforcement is on page 95 - #7, #8 and #9.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 6

We continued working on Section 3.2 of the unit today which involves estimating products and quotients.  The concept reinforcement is on page 94 - #2 and #5.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Science 8

Students completed their “Student Perception Surveys” in the computer lab.

We continued working on the Pythagorean Theorem.  The concept reinforcement for tonight is to practice for the summative assessment (tentatively scheduled for our afternoon math class tomorrow, assuming all goes well in the morning class) using the questions on pages 49 and 50 - #6 TO #11, #13,#14 and #15.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Today, we reviewed fractions and how to represent them as terminating and periodic decimals.  We then continued working on Section 3.2 of the unit which teaches students how to compare and order fractions and decimal numbers.  We have been working on comparing fractions using number lines as well as using common denominators.  The concept reinforcement for tonight is on page 94 - #3 and #4.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 6

We reviewed how to represent decimal numbers in a variety of ways (symbolically, with words and using expanded notation).  We began Section 3.2 of the unit today which involves estimating products and quotients.  Students were provided with the necessary vocabulary for this section of the unit and are asked to review their notes tonight.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Science 7

We reviewed procedure writing when it comes to science experiments, especially the use of the imperative verb tense.  We also did an activity in which students were required to identify verbs conjugated using the imperative verb tense in a step-by-step procedure and then perform the actions these verbs required, resulting in the creation of a puppet.  There is no homework.

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.

Math 7

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.

Science 7

We continued discussing procedure writing when it comes to science experiments, especially the use of the imperative verb tense.  This lesson will continue for several days.  We prepared for an activity on using the imperative verb tense which will take place on Monday.  There is no homework.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 7

Today, we discussed terminating and periodic decimals and how to represent rational numbers as both fractions and decimal numbers.  This lesson will continue for another class or two.  The concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) for the weekend (which some students have already finished) is on page 89 - #5, #6, #9 and #10.  I will be checking homework on Monday.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

We reviewed and continued working on the Pythagorean Theorem.  The concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) for the weekend (which some students have already finished) is on pages 34 and 35 - #9, #11 and #13 as well as page 56 - #18, #19 and #20.  There will be a formative assessment on the Pythagorean Theorem on Monday, so it is very important that students study for this assessment by practicing with this theorem.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Science 8

Students finished the worksheet on “Les systèmes hydrographiques”, and we corrected it together.  We then began discussing procedure writing when it comes to science experiments, especially the importance of verbs and specific details / word choice.  This lesson will continue for several days.  There is no homework.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

I will be available in the office tomorrow to meet and discuss your childs progress in Math and Science.  It will be done first come first served with one appointment pre-booked at 11am.  

Math 8

-Students wrote their test today.  No homework.

Math 7

-We played musical multiplications today.

-We did a class review for the test as a whole class.

-Students were broken into smaller groups to review the practice test and study for tomorrow’s test.

-Formative (practice test) is to be returned signed.

Math 6

-We played some multiplication games.

-We went over all the answers to the practice test that was handed back today.  All students should be reviewing for the test tomorrow.

-Test tomorrow.

Science 8

-We continued on work on water systems and glaciers.

Please note that I will be preparing report cards this weekend.  All student duotangs of marked work should be returned into the basket in my class.

Math 8

-Today we worked on estimating square roots of numbers that are not perfect squares.  Students will need a pencil and a ruler for class each day.

Math 7

-Today we continue our work with tables and relationships.   Students are to complete the first page of questions from the text in the notes posted below.   We will continue this work tomorrow before the remembrance day ceremony.  All questions will be due Tuesday.

Math 6

-Today we went over the work from yesterday.   Students saw the importance of having a title for their graph.  We also went over how to write a relationship and expression from a table.  If not completed the formative test in class it is for homework for tomorrow morning.

-Test is tentatively planned for Wednesday.
