math tasks

Both 7th and 8th grade will be having their last common (taken by the whole school) sometime during the week of June 4th.  It will be the End-of-Module for Unit 2 Rational Numbers for 7th grade and  an assessment on transformations for the 8th grade.
Grade 7
We are working on equivalence through manipulation of the equation: using the distributive property, terms, and varying like terms. 

Grade 8
Unit 1 Lesson 3 Grid Moves is due tomorrow.  Students are asked to transform various figures through reflections, translations, and rotations.

Grade 7 has started Lesson 18, "Writing, Evaluating, and Finding Equivalent Expressions with Rational Numbers.  We have been looking at phone plans and deciding what one to use for different family situations.
The standards being addressed are: 7.NS.A.3, 7.EE.A.2, 7.EE.B.4a ........................................................................................................
Grade 8 has been taking the Pythagorean Theorem assessment and we are about finished.  We will be starting a unit on congruence and using transformations to show the property.  Slides, translations, reflections, and rotations will be used.
The standard being addressed is: 8.G.A.1

Grade 7
We are starting another section of the unit on Rational Numbers.  We are making sense of word problems, assigning variables, writing expressions and then making equations. Tape diagrams are being represented and used as a model of the problem.
 Applying Operations with Rational Numbers to Expressions and Equations
7.NS.A.3, 7.EE.A.2, 7.EE.B.4a
Grade 8
We are wrapping up our work with the Pythagorean Theorem as we use the converse, given the 3 sides of a triangle we can determine if it is a right triangle, using the Pythagorean Theorem.  We will be having an assessment Thursday and Friday of this week.
8.G.B.6, 8.G.B.7, 8.G.B.8
