Tuesday February 8, 2011

8th Grade Math: Today in math students reviewed adding and subtracting like fractions. We graded the 5.2 worksheet as a class, before students were introduced to section 5.3 and adding and subtracting UNlike fractions and mixed numbers. Mr. Olsen provided direct instruction, before leading the students through several example problems.

Assignments: Review HW #5 is due on Wednesday.

7th Grade Math: Today students began class by using their flashmasters. We then moved back into chapter 5 and graded the section four worksheet as a class. We then moved into section 5 and introduce the U.S. customary system of measurement to students. We had a class discussion concerning the differences between the metric system and US customary system, before having students participate in a mini scavenger hunt, looking for objects of certain length using a ruler.

Assignments: Review HW #5 is due Wednesday.

Science: Students are MAPS testing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. We will reconvene for science on Thursday or Friday. Today students partook in the Language Usage test.

Assignments: Students can continue working on the Spongebob Project throughout the week leading up to the next science class.
