The Wonderful Camping Trip!
NITTY GRITTY THURSDAY!
Hi my darlings! Today included lots of housekeeping and note taking but it was worth it!
7ers
- We started out the class period discussing algebraic expressions and practicing some more with another worksheet. After this we took notes on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and the jargon and terminology that goes along with making and completing problems dealing with algebraic expressions
- Then! We went to the library to work more on expressions and you made your own algebraic expression problems that you will give to your classmates to stump tomorrow! Get ready! Next week is going to entail MAJOR biome time!
6ers
1. You came in, showed me that data from a stem and leaf plot can be used to make a histogram
2. We made a tri fold in our blue paper listing each graph - and you decided which questions from your survey are appropriate for each type of graph -- line, bar, histogram, line plot, pictograph, stem and leaf plot
3. You finished the blue sheet!
TOMORROW THE COW IS DUE! Remember to cross out and justify your repeats ! Remember that IXL tasks need to be up to 90 for all! (we will have some time in the computer lab!)
Can't wait to see you! My advisory - bring a t-shirt that we can use for our secret thing!
Who will have the most creative costume!
Cheers!
Ms. T

Wednesday wonderment!
OK Team! Today we got a great amount done! Here is the agenda!
7ers:
1. Assessment on Direct and Indirect proportion!
2. Learning algebraic expression worksheet! Woohoo!
3. Let's do more tomorrow! Can you solve this? what is 15 less than three times a number
6ers
1. Why a histogram is sometimes better to portray data than a stem and leaf plot!
2. Starting to formulate our survey questions - 18 to 6 GREAT questions that you can use to collect data and make 6 AMAZING graphs!
CORRECTIONS TO THE COW KNOWLEDGE
For 6th grade you do not have to do R.11
7th grade you do not have to do 0.11 and 0.15!
Ella please give me a GMAT question! You have such amazing books we have to make use of them!
Until tomorrow my darlings!

6ers:
1. Graphing activity with pullouts, you really got to see how the different graphs we learned can tell you different things!
2. Started filling in the graphic organizer!
3. Handed out a new COW! This week all of knowledge is in IXL and the systematic list problem is due on Friday!
7ers
1. We handed back our COWs, and same thing for 7ers, all of knowledge is in IXL.
2. Worked on posters.
3. Reviewed a worksheet with Indirect and Direct proportion and will do an assessment on Tuesday!
THIS IS THE COW SYSTEMATIC LIST PROBLEM FOR THE WEEK!
Justin, Julie, Jamie, Matt, Ryan and Roland are the six players in a round-robin tournament. Each player will play a set against each of the other players. List all the sets that need to be played.

6er documents:
1. Dice Lab
2. Paper ball lab
Here are some helpful documents:
GRADE 7 COW
GRADE 6 COW
GRADE 678 REASONING AND COMMUNICATION
7er agenda
1. t-chart for indirect and direct proportion.
the components of the t-chart included, formula, sketch of the graph for each, what K stands for, how to prove using data points and what happens to Y as X increases.
2. We went to the computer lab to finish our Biome plant and animal adaptation sheets!
3. Put the t-chart into our family
4. Handed out COWS. Don't worry tomorrow the systematic lists won't seem so bad! I promise!
Tomorrow we will be making the posters!

TOO AWESOME THURSDAYS!
Hello gang! Today was a day full of activity!
7ers
1. Word problems that YOU made up for direct proportion
2. Group work on Indirect proportion -- remember in this case, as X goes up, Y goes down. EVERY single pair of coordinates you have on a indirectly proportional graph have the same K value. You get K by multiplying X and Y!!!
3. Made up your own indirect proportion problems!
HOMEWORK: COW published is due tomorrow AND both indirect proportion problems if you didn't finish them then they are due tomorrow!
6ers
1. Jumping Jack stem and leaf plot
2. finish posters, good job teachers, check the side bar for pictures from the presentations!
Tomorrow EVERYONE'S COW is DUE!

GMAT question of the week.
Working together, Jose and Jane can complete an assigned task in 20 days. However, if Jose worked alone and complete half the work and then Jane takes over the task and completes the second half of the task, the task will be completed in 45 days. How long will Jose take to complete the task if he worked alone? Assume that Jane is more efficient than Jose.
- 25 days
- 30 days
- 60 days
- 65 days
- 36 days
Welcome back Wednesday!
Hello Team!
Welcome back after a wonderful Fall Break to relax and recuperate! I missed you dearly and was so excited to see all of your faces today!
Agenda:
6
1. COW pass back
2. Assessment pass back
3. FOR HOMEWORK THIS WEEK
-- You must revise one of your COWs or use a COW for Knowledge and Communication that you have Met on both standards!
1. Choose a matrix problem
2. Revise ALL portions so it is publish worthy
3. Type or Write EXTREMELY neatly!
4. HAND IN ON FRIDAY!
7
1. COW pass back
2. Direct proportion activity with graphs and with creating lines and finding K
remember you can find two numbers on a directly proportional line by using k and choosing one x value to then give you y
Reminders:
A line is directly proportion if it goes through the origin and you can cross multiply two coordinates to get the same number!
7 Homework is the same as 6 for the week!
Congratulations to Atlantys for Winning the HULA HOOP CONTEST!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!

THE MUCH ANTICIPATED GMAT QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
During the past week, a local medical clinic tested N individuals for two infections. If 1/3 of those tested had infection A and, of those with infection A, 1/5 also had infection B, how many individuals did not have both infection A and B?
Thursday!
7ers
1. More work with direct proportion.
Remember k is the magic number - it is our constant. It is the 'per anything' so basically you can use to it to figure out how much total you need for any direct proportion scenario.
- To check for direct proportion cross multiple two points
- All graphs of direct proportion must pass through the origin (0,0) - Way to remember that Rivers!
2. We quickly colored in the maps of our biomes - I promise we'll work more tomorrow!
6ers
1. Finished the assessment
2. Stem and leaf plot practice
Check your family and/or Tuesday's blog for more stem and leaf plot practice

TODAY TODAY!CORRECT 6C COW and Update on GMAT question
HERE IS THE CORRECT LINK TO THE 6C COW! (SORRY BRITTANY!)
Today's agenda:
6ers
1. Salt water density lab - You'll get a pickle if you write at least two sentences about the relationship between the salt water solutions and density
2. Analysis questions
7ers
1. WHAT A DAY!
2. Correction for the COW, the function for the COW is NOT 10 x (10-x) = y
3. We discussed finding whether or not a line has a directly proportional relationship.
We need to use y=kx to determine the magical number 'k' and go from there.
Don't worry! More to come on this tomorrow 7ers, yesterday was a crazy day
GMAT question will be posted by tomorrow! SORRY!

Housekeeping Monday
Hi Team,
Welcome back! Today was a bit of a housekeeping day for both 6ers and 7ers.
Agenda:
6ers
1. Spark about temperature and its relationship to the layers of the earth
2. Discussion of density. Remember the coke lab and the bread lab!
3. Passed back COWs (improvements all around!)
4. Postponed the assessment until tomorrow, SO STUDY STUDY STUDY!
Remember you must know density and temperature as it relates to the layers of the earth. You also need to know the changes in composition of the layers of the earth (they are all different) You should know bar and line graphs, and independent and dependent variables. Be able to explain the relationship between volume, density and mass
7ers
1. Spark - great ideas for some great experiments
2. pass back COW and terraqua observation
3. Watching Biome video
1. GRADE 6 Knowledge
2. GRADE 7 KNOWLEDGE
3. ALL GRADES R AND C
