math task

Grade 7 & 8
Both Grades have been working with circles, pi, and formulas for various shapes including triangles and rectangles.  The review is in anticipation of SBACs.

Two activities established pi as a multiplier for the circumference (Circumference  = pi * diameter)
and area of a circle ( Area = pi * radius squared).  Students have a handout of various shapes and two word problems which is due next week.

Science Fair grades returned

Dear Sterling Families,

Students received back their science fair grades and feedback from the judges today. They were shown how these grades will be tabulated for their T2 science grades that will ultimately show up on the report card.  Students can make corrections and turn them in to me by Friday (3/9)  Please ask your student about their grades and what they are doing to improve them.  If you have any questions, please email me or call 893-5511
