Due to an increased duty schedule this year with Covid-19, I am not able to do extra help outside of class time.   Two short tutorial videos are posted below for grade 7 and 8 this week. 

Math 7/8 

-Grade 7 had time to do their Reflex math today.  I then worked with the 4 of them on drawing integers.  I introduced them to how to add integers.  We did a few questions together and will continue with this tomorrow. 

-Grade 8 practiced two digit multiplications again.  We then learnt how to model integer addition using counters.   Students began some independent work.  We will continue with it tomorrow. 

Math 7 

-Today we reviewed how to multiply two-digit by two-digit numbers.   We practiced modelling integers with counter drawings.   I then introduced them to how to add integers.   We did a few questions together.   We will continue with this tomorrow. 

-I showed students their placement sheet so that they can see what concepts I will be working with them this year on.  

Math 6 

-Today we learnt about number lines and the new term “nombre entier négatif”.   We took some notes and I have attached them below.  The students then played a multiplication game and I was able to go around to each group and check on how each student is doing with learning the multiplication fact.  What a good group of workers this class is! 

Science 7/8 

-We did a group activity to check prior knowledge on water.  We shared our knowledge as a group and then students needed to record a good copy of three facts about water.  This sheet was passed in. 

-I had some time to show each student their math placement results.  This let students know where they are strong and where I will be focusing their activities this year.  Division caused some difficulties for most students so I will be reviewing it next week in class.
