Grade 8 

-We have finished the grade 8 curriculum.   I will take this week to review chapter 1.   We did this before Christmas.  We learnt about square roots and perfect squares.  In grade 9 students revisit this concept and build on it.  For this reason, I think it is a good choice to review in preparation for grade 9 math.   Please watch the video and complete a few learning activities.

Grade 6 

We have one unit left to cover in the grade 6 material: module 8 on transformations.   Module 8 is on page 289 of the student text.   You can find copies of the English text, Math Makes Sense 6, online.    This will be difficult to cover from a distance as it involves moving images about a coordinate plane.  Most of us do not have graph paper at home or the ability to access a printer.    Rest assured that it will be covered next year as this is a concept we re-visit in grade.   I am developing a list of some resources to introduce the unit from a distance.   These resources will be posted next week, and I intend to make a few videos to explain the main concepts.     

This week we will focus on our multiplication tables.   I can’t stress enough how important it is that your child know their multiplication tables by heart.      Please spend the time this week practicing them with your child.    If you would like a report of which multiplication facts are causing trouble for your child, please email me and I can send you a report from Reflex that identifies them for you child.  My email address is angela.mcquaidmurphy@nbed.nb.ca

Grade 7 

This week we start Module 8 in math Makes Sense.   Please have your child watch the video to learn the new concepts and vocabulary.

Encourage your child to learn their multiplication facts.   Students should do Reflex each day this week.   Below are some links to further practice multiplication.

Extra practice for those who asked for more area review: 

Area of a triangle: 

In a triangle any of the three sides could be used as the base.   The height used must make a 90-degree angle with the base the student chooses to use.   Sometimes this height will be a side of the triangle (in a right triangle), a measurement in the triangle or outside of the triangle.   This is reviewed in the following video with the correct terms in French.
