Math 8

-We did the formative test today.  I corrected it at lunch and passed it back so students can use it to study for the test that counts on Friday.

-Mathletics assignments are due Sunday night.

Math 7

-Students were given a formative worksheet on the divisibility rules.  This will be corrected tomorrow in class.  Test will be Friday.  Divisibility rules should now be memorized.

-Test were passed back and need to be signed.

Math 6 from the split

-See notes attached below.  We worked on finding all factors of a number and finding primary factors.  Students should try the questions from the text p 65 Q 2, 3 and 5.

Math 6

-We reviewed how to divide today.  We reviewed how to find all the factors for a number (rainbow method) and started to learn how to find the primary factors for a number (tree method).  We watched a video tutorial on primary and composite numbers.   P. 65 Q 2 is for homework.  Students should be going over their notes to learn all the new vocabulary.

Science 8

-We had a wonderful class watching all the lab safety videos.  They were creative, entertaining and educational.  We then went over some common French errors that students made in the videos.  While I do not take marks off for French errors, it is important to make note of them and review how to correct them so that students are able to improve their French. 

Math 8

-Today we continued our work with PEDMAS and integers.  This is a difficult concept as students need to put together what they learnt in grade 7 with what we learnt this year.

Math 7

-Students need to have the divisibility rules memorized.

-Mathletics due Sunday night.  Remember to go between your two classes by using the drop down bar under your avitar.

-Students should be bringing a cheap pair of headphones to class.  We will be starting a “flipped” class.  Students will need headphones to use the ShowMe app for instructions.

Math 6 from the split class

-Students watched a video and then had time to work on three questions from the text on factors.  This should be completed for next class.

Math 6

-Today we learnt about composite numbers and reviewed multiples.  Students found common multiples. 

Science 6/7

-Students need to become more independent learners.  Students worked on their literacy skills.  Students need to be able to read scientific materials.  They reviewed the three states of matter and the particle theory.  We will not be in the lab this week as they are not working independently. 

-We also went over how students should be using the lines on the page when they take notes or write answers.  Basic work skills need to be improved before we can work independently in the science lab.

Science 6

-Students went to the lab today.  We had a demonstration on how to use a microscope.  Once students were done the naming the parts of the microscope sheet from last Monday’s class, they were able to practice using a microscope.  Students were able to view several slides.  Next Monday they will have the opportunity to demonstrate how they bring a slide into focus.  

Science 7

-We went over the particle theory of matter today.  Please check the notes below.

Math 7

-Test tomorrow on integer addition and subtraction.  We did questions in class today to review.  Students should look over their formative test.

Math 6

-Students need a parent email to join “showme”.

-Homework is to finish the word problem worksheet.
