Thursday February 2, 2012

8th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the problem of the day.  Next, students jumped back into chapter four.  We reviewed the rules for dealing with standard form, product form and scientific notation.  Students then demonstrated their knowledge through three example problems.  The section 4.7 worksheet was assigned and students were given about 30 minutes of class time to complete the assignment. 

Assignments:    Review homework #5 is due on Friday.  Students should be completing the 4.7 worksheet if they did not finish in the class time provided. 

7th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class by using their flashmasters.  Next, students jumped back into chapter four.  We reviewed LCDs and LCMs and how to find them.  We then completed a practice worksheet together where students modeled fractions in order to understand how to find the Least Common Denominator in order to compare the fractions. 

Assignments:   Review homework #5 is due on Friday.  Students should be completing the comparing fractions worksheet for Friday if they did not finish in the class time provided.

Science:  Today in science, students continued working with the periodic table.  Today, students began class with a Do Now, before taking a quiz on oxidation numbers and chemical bonds.

Assignments:     None. 

FYI:  Parents!  Starting on Monday (10/31, the first day of the second quarter), teachers in the Aurora house will no longer accept late work from our students.  Students will get credit for the work they do, when it is due.
