8th Grade Math: Students began class with the problem of the day, before jumping into section 2.5 on solving equations with variables using addition and subtraction. After a bit of teacher led instruction and many, many examples, students worked with an elbow partner to develop an equation utilizing the Subtraction Property of Equality. Students then shared their equations with their classmates and all students solved these equations as their ticket out of class.
Assignments: Review Homework #9 is due Friday.
7th Grade Math: Today students began class with their flashmasters. Students then revisited section 2.6 on measuring with the metric system. After some teacher instruction and some example problems to practice these new skills, students were handed the section 2.6 worksheet to practice their skills.
Assignments: Review Homework #10 is due Friday. Finish the section 2.6 worksheet if they did not finish in class.
Science: Students were introduced to the next project where students were broken into groups of two and assigned a specific body system. These groups will research their assigned body system, and put together a powerpoint presentation in order to "teach" their classmates about that body system. Students will be given four to five days in class to do their research and put their presentations together before getting up in front of the class and presenting their research.
Assignments: None.
