- Students continue to work on their lab safety video project.  Today we as a group discussed and came up with a list of what a 3+ project should have.   Students were a part of the process of making the rubric for how the project will be marked.  Students will have Thursday and Friday’s class to work on the project.

 

Math 8

 

-Students did a worksheet on multiplying integers.  This is a formative assessment. We will be having a test Friday.

 

Math 7

 

-Students worked on models for adding positive and negative numbers.    A formative worksheet was given.

Homework

Math 6

-Students were given their math text today.  They are to have it covered by Monday.  Students are responsible for their text this year and they may take them home to complete homework and work with a tutor.

-Today students did a math review sheet.  This sheet does not count for marks, but is intended to identify where review is needed.  Basic math skills from elementary are assessed on the sheet.  Students need to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide without the use of a calculator.   During this week we will be doing mini lessons in class to review skills from previous grades.   Mr. Walsh will be in the class so that we can both assist students who may need a review.  I encourage students to be regularly reviewing their multiplication tables at home with their parents.   The work sheet is in the students’ binder.

Math 7

-Parent information sheet is to be signed and returned.

-Text books have not been handed out a we are waiting for some to arrive.

 

Math 8

-We finished the review sheet for the grade 7 integers unit.  Please see link below for today’s corrections.

-We began to look at how to model multiplication of integers.  Students saw the three different types of examples (both terms positive, both terms negative, one term negative and one term positive).  Notes are posted below.

-Today students worked on page 68 Q 5, 6 and 10.  This was not assigned for homework.  We will continue with these questions tomorrow in class.

Homework

Students have been handed back their duotang with all their marked work from this year. (Formative and Summative).   They should be re-doing their test at home for practice to study for their final assessments.  We have done some practice test to help let the students know what sections they have forgotten and need to go back to review.  If they had trouble with fractions on the review they should spend time going over the fractions unit.

Students should be spending 20 minutes reviewing each night.

Students may also use the examples, practice test, and tutorials on the class web site and Mathletics.
