Both grades 7&8 are having assessment Wednesday, February 20th.  The 8th grade is working with the Pythagorean Theorem. We have looked at it from various perspectives and are dealing with patterns for the 30-60-90 right triangle today.  The 7th grade is working with ratios and proportions, strategies to form them, and a variety of different context including scale factors and their relationships to area and perimeter in Stretching and Shrinking.  The goal of the tasks is to give them practice with concepts.
