Homework

Math 8

-Today we reviewed the counter and number line model for multiplying integers.  Students were shown the “old school” way of solving multiplication of integers.   Homework is page 73 Q 4, 6, 7 and 8.

Math 7

-We corrected homework.  Students were given the rest of class to work on an assignment.

Math 6 from the 6/7 class

-Students began the class doing a multiplication game.   We then took notes on how to represent numbers in the symbolic, developed and in table format.   After doing some problems together on the board, students had time to work on homework.  Please see notes below.

Math 6

-We had a practice lockdown during this class.  Homework was checked and notes were given for students that did not have it completed.  Notes are to be signed and returned.   Class notes are posted below of corrections from homework.   Students are to complete the worksheet for homework if they did not finish in class.

Science 8

-Students are creating their lab safety videos.  This project is due next Wednesday.

Homework

Math 8

-We reviewed counter model for multiplying integers.  We then learnt how to model multiplication on a number line.  Homework is page 68 Q 8 c and d and Q 11 (pick one to model).

-Text book should be covered.

Math 6 and 7

-Grade 6- See notes below for review questions done in class.  Worksheet was completed and corrected in class.  No homework.  We will start a new concept tomorrow.

-Grade 7 P. 58 Q 1, 3, 4, 5, 6.  Time was given in class to work on this and most students were almost done.  Please see notes below for examples of how to show your work.

Math 6

- We reviewed ordering integers, finding the smallest number and finding the biggest number.  We then saw that we can represent numbers three ways: symbolic, developed and in a table format.   Homework is page 48 Q 1 and 3 and page 50 Q 13 (make use of table in your text book).

Homework

Math 8

-Today we learnt how to use counters to model multiplication of integers.

-Homework is page 68 Q 5, 6, 10 and 11.

Math 6 and 7

-Today we went over number lines (vertical and horizontal).  Students practiced putting numbers in order from small to big.   Grade 6 worked on identifying which number in a set is the biggest.

Math 6

-Today we continued to work on ordering integers using a number line.  Students did some practice questions similar to what they would see on a test.  They are included in the notes below.  The last slide is the homework.  Time was given in class to work on Homework.

Science 6

-We watched two videos on lab safety.   We also started to learn the names of the equipment we will be using.   No homework.

Science 6 and 7

-We reviewed rules for lab safety.  Students have a project due Friday.  They need to choose a rule and create a poster with colour.  Some students finished in class and passed it in.

September 2019

Math 6

Students should have a two inch binder (or an inch and a half).  A Hilroy notebook (larger) will be used for notes and homework. Graph paper that we will keep in the class.   Students will also need a duo tang that we will use as a portfolio for our marked work.   We will be working on organization this year and as such students will need a pen, pencil, highlighter and eraser.   A calculator and math set will also be needed.  

 

We often use our white board desks, so students may want to have some whiteboard markers.

 

Science 6

For the class that you have with me once a week we will use a small Hilroy notebook.  (small 80 page type). 

 

For the students in the 6/7 split class, they will need the items listed above but will also need an extra HilRoy notebook for Science.

We are still working! :)
