7F Math Nov 17-20 2014

Last week students worked on converting fractions to decimals and percents and changing each to one of the others. Students also should understand that each of these forms are equal to one another. ( For example: 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%) Students can use the textbook sections 3.1 and 3.2 to review this information This week students will be adding and subtracting decimals. (Section 3.3) and multiplying and dividing decimals (3.4 and 3.5). Students may need to review multiplying numbers and dividing numbers using online games, videos or practice. Extra help will be available on Tuesday for those that wish to attend.

8M Math Nov 17- 20th. 2014

This week students will explore Pythagorean Theorem. a2 + b2 = c2 This theorem helps to prove that a triangle is a right triangle and can be used to find the length of any line in the triangle if you know the other two. In the textbook students can use sections 1.5 to 1.7 to develop their understanding Pythagorean theorem. We spent the last week and a half learning about squared numbers and square roots. To be successful students need to remember how to square a number: which is done by multiplying a number by itself. So 4 squared is 42=4 x 4= 16.) Students also need to find the square root of a number for example the square root of 16 is 4.

Students will be getting their "unit test" back on Monday. Materials required this week in math. Graph paper, Textbook, Notebook, Pencils and erasers, and a ruler This week students will be focusing on a new outcome. Students will be working with patterns and developing an expression which will represent the pattern. For example the pattern:3, 5, 7, 9 ,11, 13 Can be represented by the expression 2n+3. Students will also graph these relations. This outcome is found in the text in Sections 1.3 to 1.6. There will be a test on these skiills early next week (Tuesday or Wednesday).

They can use their Mathletics site to practice the skills for this unit at home as well as at school occasionally.A quiz will occur very early next week. Grade 8 M is working on Understanding Graphs this includes understanding what various graphs are best for and therefore what certain graphs are not very good at displaying. Near the beginning of Unit 7 there is a very helpful chart and other notes which can help explain these concepts. Students will continue to work on this for the next few classes.They can use their Mathletics site to practice the skills for this unit at home as well as at school occasionally.If your child wants help they are welcome to stay during activity period Tuesday or Thursday.
