Today students were introduced to the distributive property. Mr. Olsen led students through several key vocabulary words and a few example problems before time ran out.
Assignments: Review Homework #14 is due Friday. Students can expect a quiz on the first six properties we have talked about in section one of chapter 2.
Science: Today in science, students worked with their partner for the Bubble Gum Challenge activity. Students spent time in class completing their materials lists and their detailed procedures list. Once Mr. Olsen checked off each groups procedure lists, students were given the opportunity to begin their bubble gum experiments.
Assignments: Students can and should be completing their procedures list so they can continue with their bubble gum experiments on Friday in class.
7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the problem of the day, before completing the chapter 2 test. Next, students were introduced to a Math Journal Property Activity. Students are to detail and give examples of the different properties they have learned about through the first two chapters. And finally, students are to complete a multi-step problem, utilizing the properties throughout the problem.
Assignments: Review Homework #13 is due Friday. The math journal property activity has a tentative due date of this Friday in class.
8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters. Next, we continued working with the properties of addition and multiplication. Today students were introduced to conversions from one unit to another. After some teacher led instruction and several example problems students were assigned the section 2.1 worksheet.
Assignments: Review Homework #14 is due Friday. The section 2.1 worksheet is due in class on Thursday.
Science: Today in science, students worked with their partner for the Bubble Gum Challenge activity. Students spent time in class completing their materials lists and their detailed procedures list.
Assignments: Students can and should be completing their procedures list so they can begin their experiments on Thursday in class.
