Math Tasks

Grade 6
We have created binders with at least two sections: Vocabulary/Notes, Current Work and Archive is optional.  We have used Frayer Models to define: factor and divisor and played the Factor Game and the Product Game.  Today we reviewed page 14 + # 9, 10, 13, 15, 17, 23, 24, 25, 26 and stored these in our Math Notebooks


Grade 7
We have been working on ratios and proportions.  Proportion was a new vocabulary work today.  Last week we used a program called Eureka.  There were two worksheets Lesson 1: An Experience in Relationships as Measuring Rate included in this was Exercise 1: Which is the better buy?  A ticket by the same name was returned today. The second worksheet: Lesson Summary: Problem Set.  These should be complete and in their binders which have a similar format to last year - at least two sections: Vocabulary/Notes, Current Work and Archive is optional.


Grade 8
We started the year reviewing with a worksheet: Skill: Linear Functions, Graphs, and Tables.  Last Thursday& Friday we did and experiment which modeled the testing of bridges.  We tested two variables: thickness and length for breaking points.  Each group plotted their own data, the class average and the Connected Math program trial data and examined them to find out which was  linear.  Graphs should be complete for tomorrow.
