7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the problem of the day, before students were introduced to section 4.6 on zero and negative exponents. Students were led through the explanation of the rules associated with negative exponents, and why any base with an exponent of 0 is always 1. We worked through several example problems of each type of problem students will encounter on the homework, before students were assigned the 4.6 worksheet for homework.
Assignments: Completing Review Homework #20 on Study Island is due by the end of the day on Friday. The section 4.6 worksheet is due on Thursday in class.
8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters. Next, students were introduced to chapter 3 and section 1 on solving two step equations and equations the have like terms and parentheses. We did a few example problems as a class, before we went to the computer lab and students were given about 20 minutes of class time to continue working on their assignments on the Study Island website.
Assignments: Students have two assignments active on Study Island and both are due by the end of school on Friday.
Science: Today in science, students began class with the Do Now. Students then read about 12 pages (the first two sections of chapter 1) in our Human Biology and Health text book. Once students read the required pages, they were handed a reading guide with several questions for them to answer concerning the reading they just completed.
Assignments: None.
FYI: Parents! Starting on Monday (10/22, 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.
