8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the problem of the day, before we jumped into a class wide review activity. Mr. Olsen put together a jeopardy game for teams of students to compete and practice different problems in order to prepare and review for the chapter 5 test tomorrow.
Assignments: Students should be preparing for the upcoming chapter 5 test that is scheduled for this Friday.
7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters, before we graded the 10.1 worksheet that students completed for homework last evening. We then transitioned into section 10.3 and started working with triangles. Today students practiced drawing and measuring triangles and their angle measures using a protractor, in order to get a better understanding of how all triangles angle measures add up to equal 180 degrees.
Assignments: Review HW #11 is due Friday. Mr. Olsen also asked students to draw a perfect triangle this evening for class tomorrow. The only rule was that each side length of the triangle is at least 8 inches.
Science: Today in science students took the first 15 minutes of class to discuss the different items they found around their homes that were or are magnetic. We then transitioned into todays activity, which was a lab designed for students to experiment with magnetic fields, by using two bar magnets and some iron filings. Mr. Olsen provided students with directions and a worksheet to fill out as they progressed through the activity.
Assignments: None.
