I am looking forward to seeing all of you at conferences next week. During 6th and 7th grade conferences I will be talking about proper placement for next year’s math class. During 8th grade conferences I will answer any questions you may have about high school math. During all of the conferences we will also talk about progress this year, work habits and MAP scores. See you next week.
Sixth Grade Math--Students finished their unit on proportions so we will move on to Chapter 8. Chapter 8 focuses on Geometry. Students will learn to identify figures, name figures properly, and understand basic formulas for geometry.
7B Math--In chapter 8 students are learning how to name figures using the correct symbols and letters. Vocabulary is also important in this unit. Students need to practice the vocabulary and practice naming figures. It will be the little details that cost the students a lot of points.
7A Math-- Chapter 11 is complete. Chapter 8 is our next unit. The focus of Chapter 8 is Geometry. In chapter 8 students are learning how to name figures using the correct symbols and letters. Vocabulary is also important in this unit. Students need to practice the vocabulary and practice naming figures. It will be the little details that cost the students a lot of points.
Eighth Grade Math--The class finished Chapter 5 on Geometry and will move on to Chapter 6 containing even more Geometry. In the next chapter students will apply various formulas to geometric figures and calculate area and volume.
Algebra--We are working in Chapter 8-Factoring. We will finish the sections next week and have an assessment shortly thereafter. Students continue to work hard and develop skills necessary for high school.
