Homework

Math 8

-We corrected the first side of the review sheet.  Please see notes posted for examples.

-Students are to complete the second side for Monday.

Math 7

-We had our monthly assembly to day.  For the few minutes we had after the assembly, students did an activity to practice solving expressions.

Science 6

-Today we went over new vocabulary and took some notes.  We also discussed that forces exist and act on objects even if we do not see them.  We draw forces in science drawing by using an arrow to show the influence of the force.

Science 8

-Today we reviewed material from grade 7 related to the three phases of mater and the particule theory of matter.  We did some guided reading from the text to build vocabulary and develop our science literacy.  Notes were handed out to review grade 7 material that we will be using in grade 8.  Students have a worksheet to complete for next class.  Time was given in class to work on it.

Homework

Math 8

-Today we saw that the balnce beam method is only used for algebraic equations that have positive terms.   Students should use algebra tyles for equations containing negative terms.   Q 6, 7, 8 and 10 are for homework from section 6.1

-Students are to complete their assigned Mathletics tasks by Friday.

Math 7

-Today we reviewed the difference between an expression an equation.   We also reviewed the balance beam method for modeling solving an algebraic equation.

-Today we learnt how to model solving algebraic equations using algebra tyles.    We will continue to work on this next class.

-Students are to complete their tasks on Mathletics by the end of the week.

 

Science 7

-Notes are posted below.
