7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the problem of the day. Next, we transitioned back into chapter 7. Today students learned to use proportions to find the percent of a number. After several examples and some teacher instruction, students were assigned the 7.2 worksheet, to be due Tuesday in class.
Assignments: The section 7.2 worksheet is due on Tuesday in class.
8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters. Today we jumped back in to section 2 on finding the greatest common factor of two or more numbers. Students learned about two different methods to find a GCF, including listing all the factors of the numbers in question, and finding the prime factorization of each of the numbers and multiplying together the common factors. Students were assigned the 4.2 worksheet to be due Tuesday in class.
Assignments: The section 4.2 worksheet is due Tuesday in class.
Science: Today in science, students began class with the Do Now. Students then read and answered questions about mitosis, the cell division process. Students defined several key vocabulary words and learned about the phases of cell division.
Assignments: The section 2.3 worksheet on cell division will be due on Tuesday in class. Students can also expect to spend Tuesday's class period outside at their Local Ecology Plots. Students should come to school prepared to be outside in wet, muddy conditions. Proper footwear is highly recommended!
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.
