Week of August 20th
Hi everyone,
I hope you are enjoying the weekend in spite of the dreary weather.
Both sections will have a major test this week, study sheets were passed out last week. I pass out these sheets before every major test, and they are super important! Students often feel that they don't know how to study for math tests. A key to preparing/studying for a math test is to WORK PROBLEMS.
Refer to these sheets and examples to work problems from these sections. You can always work odd problems and check the answers in the back of the book.
6th grade: Spiral due this Tuesday at the beginning of class. You will not have time to complete it during class. Make sure you have written your first and last name as well as your math number.
Test Wednesday, refer to handout.
Don't forget that homework is due tomorrow, this was assigned Friday.
7th grade: Spiral due Tuesday at the beginning of class. You will not have time to complete it during class. Make sure you have circled your class hour (typed in upper left hand corner of spiral), written first and last name and your math number.
Test Friday, refer to handout.
Have a great week everyone!

Week of May 7th
Hi everyone,
We're winding down! Hang in there!!!
Just a reminder that I will be out most of the week next week- and will be back at school mid-day Thursday. I will not have access to email while I am gone, please keep that in mind.
6th grade: Students need to bring calculators to class daily! Test is on Tuesday, May 8th. Review sheets went home this past week. Calculators allowed on the percent proportion part of the test only. Spiral due Tuesday, May 8th. Last spiral of the nine weeks will go out on the 8th and is due Tuesday May 15th.
7th grade: Study guides were passed out Friday. Due to a very busy schedule, some students were not in class. Extra study guides are on the back table of the classroom. Please read the directions carefully! I will have one homework check for these (it is not split into 3 as it was last semester), on Monday, May 14th- study guide is worth 15 points.
Most of the test grades from the most recent test (Volume of solids) were very good. I have decided to give one last opportunity for points- there will be a "graded activity" on Friday, May 11th covering functions and graphing linear equations (see Chapter 11 sections 1 and 4). This will be worth 20 - 25 points and will be completed in class.
Have a wonderful week everyone!!
