Homework

Math 8

-We reviewed how to add and subtract integers using models today.   This was a review of grade 7 material and will help students with our first assignment.

-Today we practiced how to show multiplication of integers with models. We spent more time reviewing how to correctly draw the number line models.   Students practiced how to show their work correctly.  Notes are posted below.

-Homework p. 68 Q 8 c and, Q 11 and Q 18

-Our first assignment was handed out and it is due Thursday.  This reviews material from grade 7.

Math 7

-Today we practiced how to model positive and negative numbers using <<des jetons>>.  Students were able to see that a << une paire nulle>> is one red and one yellow jetton and that it has a value of zero.  Students were able to solve addition problems.  Notes are posted below.

-Homework Assignment is due next class.   Students were given most of today’s class to work on this assignment while I met with students individually.   If you have forgotten your assignment at school I have a copy scanned into the notes below that you can print off at home.

-Today in class I visited with each student to confirm that they could properly model positive and negative numbers more than one way.  They can do this by adding <<des paires nulles>>.

-  We will have a quiz latter this week on addition of integers using <<des jettons>> and modeling and ordering numbers.


Tutorial video for adding integers using <<des jetons>> can be found at the following link.

Science 6

-Today we reviewed the terms classification, sub-groups and traits.  We used a group activity to practice breaking objects up into a classification system.

-No homework.  Notes posted below.


Science 8

-Today we talked about microscopes.  We did some guided reading from the text.

-Students were given a sheet to answer questions from the readings.  We will be working on our science literacy skills this year.

Homework September 9th

Math 8

-Today we practiced how to show multiplication of integers with models.  Students practiced how to show their work correctly.  Notes are posted below.

-Homework Q 5, 6 a b, 7, 8 et 10

 

Math 7

-Today we practiced how to model positive and negative numbers using <<des jetons>>.  Students were able to see that a << une paire nulle>> is one red and one yellow jetton and that it has a value of zero.  Students were able to solve addition problems.  Notes are posted below.

-Homework p. 54 Q1, 2 and p. 58 Q 1, 3, 4.  Students should check their answers with those in the back of the book when they are done each question.  We will review any questions they had problems with next class.

 

Santé 6

-Today we talked about what being healthy means. 

-Homework: Students started a title page.  This will be completed next class.

 

Science 7

-Today we did not have class due to an assembly.

-Earlier this week we had a lot of fun learning how to work together as a group.  We talked about how to communicate as a group and how to problem solve as we work.   Pictures can be seen at the following link:  http://gretnagreen.nbed.nb.ca/teacher/mrs-mcquaid-murphy

Homework Sept 8th

Math 8

-Today we learnt three ways to multiply integers: repeated addition, with counters and with number lines.  Tomorrow we will review this and practice solving questions using each method.  Notes from today are posted below. 

-Homework is to cover Math text for Monday.

 

Math 7

-Today we went through some mental math questions.  Students found them challenging.  We talked about how this is not a bad thing.  We will work together this year to learn some strategies to make mental math easier.   Students are encouraged to ask for help when needed.

-We learnt about positive and negative integers.  Students are to complete questions 1 to 5 for homework.  This should take no more than 15 to 20 minutes.  We will correct this in class tomorrow and go over any question students may find difficult.

-Notes from today are posted below.

 

Science 6

-Today we talked about the advantages and disadvantages of classification systems.  Students did an activity where they developed their own classification systems.  They used <<des attributs>> to divide objects into groups and <<sous-groupes>>.

-Homework: students are to look up the terms they do not know in the activity for next class.  This will help them to fully participate in the next class.

-Some pictures from todays class are posted at the following link.  http://gretnagreen.nbed.nb.ca/mrs-mcquaid-murphy/gallery/science-6fi-clasification

 

 

Science 8

 

-Today we learnt about the 7 characteristics of living things.  The students took notes which are posted below for those who were absent or may need more time to complete them.  Parents can check the notes online to ensure their child has copied the material in class.   As a team, we can encourage them to keep complete and organized notes which will help them to study for the test.

 

-Homework is for students to finish writing their conclusion. 

 

A conclusion has two parts: 

 

  1.  A statement to summarize what they think.

  2. Proof in the form of examples.  Terms learnt in the unit should be used.

Homework September 7th

Math 8

Today we did an operations test to determine areas where revision are needed.  Over the next several weeks we will review the concepts students had difficulty with.  Tomorrow we will start our first unit on multiplying integers.

 

Math 7

Today we did a math operations review.  This allows me to see what areas of math each student is good at and what concepts I should review with the students this year.  The questions asked students to remember prior math strategies.

Tomorrow in class we will start our first unit on adding positive and negative numbers.

 

Science 6

Today we had an introduction class.  Class routines and expectations were explained.  I am looking forward to starting our unit on classification tomorrow.

Students need a duotang to be used as a portfolio and a binder for notes and assignment work.

 

Health 8

Today students talked about what makes them happy.  We also discussed what they do to reduce stress.   Title page was started and will be finished next class.  Title page should show 4 to 5 things that makes them happy.  It should include their name and be coloured.
