Prodigy Game

PLEASE NOTE: Due to Thursday's field trip, there will not be a new math entry. There WILL be a post on Friday.

Math is a new online, game-based site offered by our district that encourages students to practice math. I have set up two class accounts; one for 7th grade curriculum and one for 8th grade/Pre-algebra. Follow the directions and have fun!

7th grade students are to follow these steps:

8th grade/Pre-algebra students are to follow these steps:

HOMEWORK: Keep practicing the following
7th (Level I) -- Percents (L.2), 2-D Figures (W.7, W.8, W.13), Transformations (X.2), Geometric Measurements (AA.5, AA.7, AA.8), Data/Graphs (BB.5, BB.11, BB.13, BB.15), Statistics (CC.1), and Probability (DD.1, DD.4).


Pre-Algebra (Level J) -- Percents (J.1), Figures (O.5, O.7, O,8, O.9, O.11), Transformation (P.2), Geometric Measurements (T.5, T.8, T.9, T.10), Inequalities (X.3, X.6), Functions (Z.1, Z.2, Z.4, Z.5, Z.7, Z.9), and Probability (EE.1, EE.3, EE.4).

Review & Practice

This post is for April 18 and 19

Lists for 7th grade and pre-algebra skills were given to students to practice over this week and over vacation. They had class time today to start (after explanations) and will have class time on Wednesday. Thursday is our field trip and on Friday we will have a performance task that brings tables and linear graphs to a conclusion.

7th (Level I) -- Percents (L.2), 2-D Figures (W.7, W.8, W.13), Transformations (X.2), Geometric Measurements (AA.5, AA.7, AA.8), Data/Graphs (BB.5, BB.11, BB.13, BB.15), Statistics (CC.1), and Probability (DD.1, DD.4).

Pre-Algebra (Level J) -- Percents (J.1), Figures (O.5, O.7, O,8, O.9, O.11), Transformation (P.2), Geometric Measurements (T.5, T.8, T.9, T.10), Inequalities (X.3, X.6), Functions (Z.1, Z.2, Z.4, Z.5, Z.7, Z.9), and Probability (EE.1, EE.3, EE.4).

HOMEWORK:

•    Review notes in MTN and practice weak skills on IXL (see blog for list).

Reviewing Slope-form

We went over the homework that was assigned on Thursday. Then students were given class time to begin the work listed below.

HOMEWORK:  

•     7th -- Level I Skill S.6

•    PRE -- Level J Skill Y.9

April 13 -- Bayle & Shaw

Bayle & Shaw -- Go to 4/12/17 post for summary of today's lesson.

HOMEWORK: BAYLE & SHAW -----  

•     Take last night’s coordinates and find the slope-intercept equation using the coordinates for each problem.

Writing Slope w/Given Coordinates

Two sets of lessons for groups:

   Roberts: Notes were given with various coordinates. Students were only given two pairs of coordinates to determine the slope of a line. Then using the slope and a pair of coordinates, students applied their skill of solving a 2-step equation. Taking all the information, students wrote a y-intercept equation.  It was suggested that students could enter their equations and graph them on Desmos to check the accuracy.

   Bayle & Shaw: Go to 4/11/17 Post for today's lesson.

HOMEWORK: ROBERTS ONLY ---- 

•     Take last night’s coordinates and find the slope-intercept equation using the coordinates for each problem.

BAYLE & SHAW ----- 

• Worksheet in MTN

Slope Notes

Due to a special schedule on our team, only Roberts had math class (Bayle and Shaw will have the make-up math class on Thursday).

Notes from today include samples of grids, coordinates, x/y tables, and slope-intercept equations.

HOMEWORK:   ROBERTS ONLY 

• Worksheet in MTN

2-step Equation Review

Notes from today:

 

HOMEWORK:

• IXL Fraction work (make up work)
• Some people had difficulties, thus -- IXL, Level J: W.7, W.8 & Y.8 is due Tuesday, 4/11.

Intro to slope-intercept

We took our Drop It graphs and "unraveled" the components and meanings.

We also reviewed solving 2-step equations. Some examples provided in class:

HOMEWORK:

• IXL Fraction work
• IXL, Level J: W.7, W.8 & Y.8 for Monday, 4/10.

Graph Observations

Today, students were given 12 linear graphs that contained errors. In their "table mates" groups, the members needed to identify the error(s) and make the correction(s).

HOMEWORK: 

• If you have not yet done so:  Complete IXL: Grade 7 or Level I:  G.1,  G.3,  G.7,  G.10,  G.12, and  G.13 (80% or higher) ASAP.

Just Drop It! REVISITED

This post is for April 3 and 4, 2017

First -- I updated students as to their own individual status on the IXL homework.  Some students are in great shape and only have one set to complete. Meanwhile, others haven't even begun and have mucho to complete.

Second -- students reworked their Just Drop It! math lab and made the necessary corrections. This lab is a good sample to demonstrate the connections to proportional relationship, entering data information on a graph, and creating a line of linear regression.


HOMEWORK: 

• IXL: Grade 7 or Level I:  G.1,  G.3,  G.7,  G.10,  G.12, and  G.13 due by Tuesday (4/4/17). 80% or higher.
