Controy's Calculations

Jan 17-20

Students were given the formula sheet containing all the formulas used in chapter 10.  Today we worked the parallelogram and triangle, and there will be more problems tomorrow.  There will be a quiz on Thursday, and students will be allowed to use the formula sheet.  Students must show the formula and the process of "plugging in" the base and height in the formula, as well as, the answer.  This will prepare them for the more complicated formulas. The next standard is area of composite figures and then comparing area and perimeter. ( Chapter 10 lessons 1-5)

Third nine weeks-Jan 10-13

Math 6 & Math 6/7

Students will have a performance task involving both line and rotational symmetry on Tuesday Jan 10. The rest of the week will focus on customary and metric measurement.(Chpt 9 lessons 1-4).  These standards are in the student Worktext (pages 286 thru 310).  There will be a quiz on measurement on Friday Jan 13th.

Report cards are sent home on Friday Jan13th.

Monday Jan 16th is a school holiday.

Dec 12-16

Math 6/7 took the unit test on Friday, and they will start with line and rotational symmetry today.  There is a study guide for the county Benchmark test which will be given on Friday.

 

Math 6 had a second study guide for the unit test which is tomorrow. The students reviewed for three days on this important unit.  We will then go over a study guide for the Benchmark test which is Friday.  This gives a review of the 2nd nine weeks material.

Dec 5-9

Math 6 & Math 6/7-- Yesterday we completed unit 3B with the % in a circle graph( chpt 9-lab activity).  The students will have two different worksheets for the circle graphs.  There will be a study guide for this unit, and it will cover ratio,rate,proportion,%, decimals,fractions, % of a number in discount,tax,tip, and circle graphs.  The unit test will probably be Friday of this week.

Nov 28-Dec 2

Math 6 and Math 6/7-Students have been working on % of a number since Monday(chpt 7 section 9). There was a quiz today, and most students did a super job. We will now apply the concept to real life for the rest of the week, when the students use % to figure out the discount, sales tax, and tip(chpt 7 section 10).

Nov 14-18

Math 6-finished last Friday by doing an activity on comparing unit rates.  They had calculators and worked with partners for a classwork grade. Today we reviewed sections 7-1,7-2,7-3 for a quiz tomorrow, but we also started sections 7-7 and 7-8 on converting fractions, decimals, percent.  There will be an activity Friday on this standard.

Math 6/7 finished unit 4 on equations and order of operations on Friday. Today we finished sections 7-1 and 7-2( ratio and unit rate).  Tomorrow we will work on Proportions(sections7-3), and Wednesday we will convert fractions decimals and percents( sections 7-7 and 7-8).

Oct 31-Nov 4

math 6 --Students finished unit 4 on one-step equations and had a study guide, which was worked in class on Tuesday and Wednesday.  The unit test was today, and students should be very successful after all the reviewing in class.  We will start unit 3B(Ratio, Percent, Circle Graphs) on Friday.  This unit covers Chpt 7 lessons 1,2,3,7,8,9,10 and also Chpt 9 on circle graphs and percent.

Math 6/7 continued working on solving two-step equations by using inverse operations. There is a quiz today , then we will go on to solving equations with multi-steps.

Oct 24-28 Conference Week(2:15 dismissal)

Math 6 finished order of operations, and continued on unit 4 by doing the sections on finding the value of algebraic expressions.( Ch 2-lessons 1,2,3).  We will concentrate next on using the PROCESS to find solutions to one-step equations.  Students will have to show all inverse operations used to find the solution, not just the answers.

Math 6/7 finished solving one-step equations using integers, fractions, and decimals.Students must show all inverse operations used to get the solutions. We will review all the one-step equations and have a quiz on Thursday. Next standard is solving the two-step equations.

oct 17-21

Math 6 and 6/7---Yesterday students reviewed the first nine weeks with a study guide to prepare for the county Benchmark TEST on Thursday. Every question was worked in detail today  for all students.

All math classes will work on order of operations(Ch 1-lessons 3,4), then one-step equations(Ch 2-lessons 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).  Math 6/7 has a quiz on order of operations on Wednesday, and math 6 will have one on Thursday.

Oct 10-14(last week of nine weeks grading period)

Math 6 reviewed fractions on Thursday,Friday, and Monday, then they took the UNIT TEST on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions today. The test was only 20 multiple choice questions, and they should have been very successful.

 

Math 6/7 reviewed the rules for integers involving both decimals and fractions, and they had a quiz today on adding,subtracting, multiplying, and dividing rational numbers.
