8th Grade Math: Students began class with the problem of the day before students jumped back into chapter 4 and today we learned about scientific notation. Students were introduced to standard form, product form and scientific notation, and how to convert integers into each form. After some teacher led instruction, students tried several example problems on their way out of class.
Assignments: Review HW #3 is due Friday.
7th Grade Math: Today students began class by using their flashmasters. We then moved right into chapter 5 and began building upon the skills we developed in chapter 4 and we introduced adding and subtracting fractions. After some teacher led instruction and several examples, students were handed a worksheet to practice their skills.
Assignments: Review HW #3 is due Friday. Finish up the 5.1 worksheet #1-13 Odds only for Thursday.
Science: Today in science students were introduced to the concept of cell division. We began with a class discussion about the three main phases of cell division, the interphase, the mitosis phase, and cytokinesis phase. Within mitosis, there are four more stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Today students began class reviewing the three main phases of cell division before jumping into mitosis. Students then began the next project, where they will build posters illustrating the cell division cycle.
Assignments: None.
