7th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the problem of the day, before we jumped into chapter 4.  Today students were introduced to prime factorization.  Students defined the key vocabulary and practiced making factor trees, as well as factoring monomials.  Students were assigned the 4.1 worksheet for homework.  

Assignments:   The section 4.1 worksheet is due Friday morning in class.    

8th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with their flashmasters.  Next, we jumped back into section 6 of chapter 2 on solving equations using division and multiplication.  Students reviewed the division property of equality, before the multiplication property of equality was introduced.  Students took notes on the multiplication property, and we practiced several examples before the 2.6 worksheet was assigned as homework, and students were given about 20 minutes of class time to begin working on the assignment.  

Assignments:   Review Homework #20 is due Friday.  The section 2.6 worksheet is due on Friday morning in class.   

Science:  Today in science, students took a quiz on the scientific method, and then they were given an hour and a half of class time to work on their social studies projects.  Students can expect to go outside for science on Friday.    

Assignments:  Students can be prepared to go outside to their Local Ecology Project plots on Friday of this week.
