Math 8
-Students had time to work on the review packet. I placed some review and practice questions on Mathletics but they are not due Sunday night. Students are working at their own pace to review for the assessment. I will be available at lunch tomorrow to help grade 8 students.
-District assessment Tuesday.
Math 6/7
-Today we did some questions together. (multiplying and dividing decimals). The difference between grade 6 and grade 7 is that grade 7 students are expected to be able to solve questions where both the dividend and divisor are decimals. (2.34 ÷ 2.2).
-Grade 6 then watched two tutorial videos on the ShowMe Platform and have to create a ShowMe for the question they were given. This is an assessment and it will be marked.
-Grade 7 started the corrections of the review assignment. Answers are posted below. We will continue this tomorrow instead of science. We will make up the science time before STEM fair.
- I was asked by some students and parents for extra practice questions for multiplying and dividing. I assigned some Mathletics tasks. These tasks are not due Sunday. They are available to anyone who would like more practice.
Math 6
-We reviewed multiplying and dividing decimals by whole numbers. We then began to correct the review package. We will continue this tomorrow.

Math 8
-Today we went over Pythagorean theorem. See notes below for examples. Homework is page 34 Q 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
-Students asked for me to create a big review packet for the district assessment. I handed out the review today and students were given most of the class to work on it. They may use their notes and work with a tutor or come in for extra help.
Math 6 and 7
-Today we went over the homework (dividing decimals). Homework not done notes were given to students who did not have their work complete.
-November review booklet is due back signed tomorrow.
-District assessment is Tuesday. One part with calculator and one part without calculator. All material has been introduced.
Grade 7 tutorial videos posted in ShowMe for review:

Math 6
-no class today due to Christmas concert assembly. I am still waiting for a few students to pass in their review assignment from last week. I need these in before I hand them back to other students. If not passed in tomorrow a zero will be given unless you have made arrangements with me.
-District assessment is Tuesday. All material that will be on the assessment has been taught. We will be reviewing and practicing over the next few classes. Students may stay in at lunch if they need extra help on Wednesday.
-I posted some tutorial videos in showme

Math 8
-We had a presentation about office 365.
-District assessment December 17th.
Math 6 and 7
-We had a presentation about office 365 in the morning. We turned our science class into math. Review assignments were passed back. District assessment is next Tuesday December 17th. Students should use the review assignment to identify where they need to study.
-We went over how to divide decimals. In grade 7 both numbers in the question can have decimals.
Math 6
-We went over how to divide decimals.

Math 6
-We are moving towards a personalized learning model where students progress at their own pace. Today students were given a list of activities to perform and they could work through them at their own pace and seek help and re-teaching as needed. One activity was an assessment. As a result students are moving at their own speed as they show their learning. Students completed a review sheet, watched a ShowMe tutorial on multiplying decimals using base 10 blocks, had the option to view other student created videos or create a tutorial to post in the class forum, practice multiplying decimals on Mathletics with instant feedback as to if the question was right or wrong and complete the summative assessment.
-Monday students will continue where they left off with the goal of all students finishing the summative test by the end of the day. Some students will progress along and start the next outcome of understanding place value in decimals.
-Mathletics assignments are due Sunday night.
Math 7
-Students did an assessment to identify who needs re-teaching.
-Mathletics due Sunday night.
Math 6 from split class.
-We did a seminar today where we worked with base 10 blocks. Students will be ready for an assessment Monday.
Science 8
-No class due to assembly.

Video tutorial of how use base ten blocks to multiply decimals by whole numbers. Remember you can always ask to use the base ten blocks on your desk while you are working on a question. We can draw this model, but seeing it on our desk and moving it around can sometimes help us to get the right answer. ( in case you do not have a pocket full of base ten blocks they are always on the counter. Lol! ). Video https://www.showme.com/sh/?h=fPFIS8W

Science 7
-Procedures were passed back with feedback. We went over the requirements of the procedure. Students need to list equipment, quantities of material, use correct units, steps need to be detailed, mention of how observations and measurement are being reordered. Validity and bias need to be referenced. Time was given to make corrections. Students will have time in class tomorrow to conference. Good copy is due Monday.
Math 7
-We went over section 3.1 and 3.2 of text today. Students will have an assessment tomorrow to identify who can identify décimal périodique and décimal fini. Students need to be able to switch fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions. Those who pass will move on to ordering numbers and fractions while those who do not pass will get some re-teaching.
Math 6 from split
-Students worked with Mr. Walsh today on estimating and multiplying decimals by a whole number. The worksheet is to be completed for tomorrow. Tomorrow students and I will work on base ten models.
Math 6
-We reviewed how to use base 10 models to multiply decimals by whole numbers. We then went over how to round numbers to do estimations. Students completed a review sheet. Mr. Walsh and I conferenced with students to correct estimations and multiplications. Corrections need to be done before students can try the formative test.
Science 8
-Math test was passed back and should be signed. Students that got less than 50% are asked to come to extra help on Monday for re-teaching.
-Today we started to work on Analyze and explain outcomes.
We reviewed the following concepts:
How to identify points in a graph.
How to fill in a table from a graph.
How to describe trends in a graph.
How to identify the trend in a table.
How to predict results using data from a table or graph.
How to identify points that do not follow the trend.
-An assignment was passed out and 20 minutes was given to work on it. Students were asked to complete this assignment for homework.

Math 7
-We continued to work with ordering fractions and mixed numbers. Students are to complete p. 94 Q 1, 2 and 3.
Math 6
-We did a general review today and then continued our work with multiplying decimals. New material was solving word problems. Tomorrow we will be correcting work. Homework is page 94 Q 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Students also need to have the names of the decimal place values memorized.
Science 8
-Today we worked as a class to complete the district STEAM challenge. We build a way to turn off the lights. It was good to see students observing and problem solving when it did not work. Good discussion was had as students gave their opinions of what needed to be modified to make it work. Bravo!
