Course 2:

Last week rational numbers were introduced. Ask your child to tell you what rational numbers are, we're practicing on memorizing this definition.  We converted between decimals and fractions and began adding and subtracting fractions. 

Pre-Algebra:

We have begun working with rational numbers, starting with converting between fractions and decimals.  We've also multiplied fractions.  Ask your child what she or he can achieve that will allow them to skip their homework assignment! We will be doing a project in class soon where students need to have 3 favorite family recipes.

Course 2:

Last week we finished up chapter 2 about integers.  Everyone worked very hard and did well on their test. As the tests get graded, grades will be entered on PowerSchool.  Students can also check their Quia accounts to see their test and how they scored on each question.

Pre-Algebra:

We finished chapter 2 and tested over integers last week.  The students are continuing to impress me with their hard work.  Test grades are in PowerSchol, students have their paper test, and they may log into their Quia accounts to see their online test.

Course 2 Update:

Last week we took a mid-chapter quiz online at quia.com/web. Have your student show you their quiz if they haven't already. We will be using this site for all tests and quizzes in the future. We also multiplied and divided integers; these rules are much easier to remember than adding and subtracting! On Thursday, we worked on corrections and missing work; when it was finished we used the blog to play games reviewing integers (you may use this as a tool to study with at home).  Students with remaining corrections and missing work were instructed to complete them over the long weekend.

 

Pre-Algebra Update:

Last week we worked on our Chapter 2 project; it was all about high and low temperatures.  Students worked together in small groups to complete this project; everyone did a great job. I am very pleased with the outcome.  If you'd like to see your student's final outcome, come check out the bulletin board by Mr. Johnson's room, everything is on display there!

Course 2 Update:

Last week we worked a lot with adding and subtracting integers. For adding, we learned a new song (ask your student to sing it). Look here for a review of adding integers.  We also learned there are three important letters for subtracting (L.C.O.).

 

Pre-Algebra Update:

Last week we continued working with integers as well. We've adding, subtracted, multiplied, and divided them. Hopefully we can keep all the different rules straight in our heads!

Wow! We had a busy week! We had our first test (and everyone did wonderful!!) and started Chapter 2.  Chapter 2 is about integers (positive and negative numbers); Thursday we took a pretest on the computer. Today we learned about Absolute Value; find an overview of the lesson here.
 
Find the Challenge Problem here.

Here's a few pictures and videos to show you what we've been up to in class!

 

Used our online textbook (here) to fill out the Chapter 2 Glossary.

 

Used Quia (here) to practice Chapter 2 Vocabulary.

 

The online textbook (link above) is a great resource when you have a full backpack!

 

 

Worked with partners to practice Absolute Value.

Lou decided to be pro‐active about this and promised himself he would exercise at least four days of every week (Sun-Sat). If Lou never wants to skip exercising on consecutive days within a calendar week, and he exercises exactly four days out of the seven, how many different workout schedules are possible for a calendar week?
