Believe it or not, this is the FIRST chance I've gotten to sit down tonight! My apologies for posting so late....

Gonna make this a short one....hope you're not too disappointed! :)

HW: All blocks: Ch 4 Tes tomorrow, notes due tomorrow, and worksheet (sequences: name the next three terms)


 
Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I certainly did! I hated to see it come a go so quickly, but that only means that Christmas is getting closer!

This is kind of a crazy week in our Math class! We are finishing up Ch 4 (well the first 3 lessons) and starting Ch. 11...and we are doing this simultaneously. We took a quiz today (I know, mean right?!) on Ch 4 stuff. Needless to say, we'll be quizzing again tomorrow. Ch 4 test will be on Wednesday.

Progress reports will go home next Monday. With all the holiday craziness, we haven't been able to get as many grades in as we had hoped. By waiting until next Monday, you'll get a more accurate look at what your child is doing AND they still have 4 weeks to improve if need be!

HOMEWORK FOR TONIGHT:
Bl 1, 2, and 3: SLOPE worksheet...front and back

 
Love that song...:)

Okay, the Monday before Thanksgiving Break is always a CRAZY day! However, we did manage to work on slope just a little more! And, yes, this MEAN ol' math teacher even gave her students HOMEWORK...can you believe that?!

HOMEWORK:
Block 1, 2, and 3: Finish slope worksheet and finish graph (must be colored!)

See
 
We are currently working on Rate of Change and Slope....two very important concepts for our 8th graders to understand. This is one of the building blocks they will expand on in Algebra.

Homework for tonight...
Block 1 and 2: Finish ROC worksheet we started on in class...SHOW YOUR WORK if you want credit
Block 3: Slope Worksheet...front only

See you on Friday...that's right...I won't be there tomorrow! :)
 
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about having a little vacation next week! Not to mention all the GOOD food I planning on eating...it's a win win...no school/good food! Thanksgiving is DEFINITELY my favorite holiday!

Today Bl 1 and 2 took their Ch 10 test. Unfortunately, most of them did not finish so I won't be returning grades until Friday (I won't be at school on Thursday...shhh....don't tell my students! They might just kill over with excitement!).

HOMEWORK:
Bl. 1 and 2: Worksheet...front and back...ratios and unit rate
Bl. 3: Worksheet...front and back...Rate of Change

 
It's official...I'm back from my blogging hiatus! I know that soooo many people missed my posts, and I hated leaving all of you hanging! :) Or it could have been that I actually had some parents say it was helpful...either way, I'm back.
 
We started Ch. 4 today. Ch 4 covers slope, proportions, rates, ratios, etc. Slope is a HUGE part of the 8th grade EOG. We'll spend lots of time working on slope.

Block One and Two are having their Ch. 10 Test tomorrow. They were given a study guide on Friday that is almost an exact copy of the test. We went over it today in class. Their Ch. 10 Notes are also due tomorrow (it's either a green or pink foldable). Block three took their test last week.

HW for the night (yeah, just realized that I gave HW the night before a test...sorry about that...atleast it's easy)
Block 1 and 2: pg. 158 10-30 evens
Block 3: Worksheet front and back

Have a good evening!!!
