Almost Friday!

Hi gang,

a quick rundown of the day's events.

7ers: watched Magic School bus, continued mad minutes, and worked on our passports.  Our class is all over the place and we are making GREAT progress in our passports

Here are the links to this week's COWs, sorry! but the box and whisker plot was unable to be scanned in, so you have to use it from Monday's COW.

COW for TUESDAY

COW for WEDNESDAY

COW FOR THURSDAY

Tomorrow we will continue our work on one step equations and have so much fun!

6ers! We are continuing the wonderful world of fractions.  The COW is due tomorrow! Due to some technical difficulties I cannot upload our COW so I hope you took it with you!

WOOHOO!

If you need some help with fractions, adding and subtracting or just a refresher click the videos!

Marvelous Monday!

Hi gang!

Today was a WONDERFUL day in that we had such a productive day for both 6ers and 7ers.  I passed out a new COW for both classes, as the 7ers continued working on simplifying expressions.  I think we are VERY ready for our assessment.

The 6ers began talking about the different types of rocks as we participated in a station activity to introduce you to rocks, minerals and the various types on this wonderful planet earth.  We ended the class period reviewing how to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators.

See you tomorrow!

Ms. T!

THURSDAY FUNDAY! A Passport to knowledge!

Today we started our passports in 7th grade and embarked upon the wonderful world of fractions in 6th grade!

Today the 7ers began solving equations when given a variable and continued working with simplifying expressions.  The 6ers were AMAZING at changing between improper fractions and mixed numbers.

Alright kiddos, tomorrow each of you will be having a quiz
7th grade on simplifying expressions and equivalent and simplifying fractions for 6th grade!

See you tomorrow! It's Friday!

hugs!
Ms. T

Questions to comments:

For number 2, there is a 2 outside of the parentheses....so what do we do with the 2? We have to distribute it out over the entire parentheses. remember if the terms are unlike then you can't add them! Myspace and facebook are not compatible!!!!

Hope that helps!

Ms. T

Wednesday and back in action!

hi gang!

today we had a really great day! our 7ers worked on simplifying algebraic expressions and our 6ers reviewed equivalent fractions and simplifying them!

Here are links to the COW for 6th and 7th grade

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!! THURSDAY! WOOHOO!

RETURN AFTER THE SNOWSTORM!

Hello my darlings!

After a VERY lengthy second winter break we return!  Here is the rundown from today and the homework!

6ers
1. Today we finished our quiz on GCF and LCM
2. I gave you a BRAND new COW.  For those of you that need a refresher here is the problem for tonight,  remember you have to do the Givens, Constraints, Goal and explain why and how you eliminated the other answer choices.

Here is the COW for 6th grade
COW COW COW COW

Tomorrow 6ers we'll be starting our review of fractions and equivalent fractions! WOOHOO!

7ers
Today we discussed the associative and commutative properties to help us simplify algebraic expressions.  Tonight you have to finish the COW for homework and bring it in ready to go tomorrow.  The only way you will get the new COW is if you finish tonight's homework!

7ers here is a great link to help further explain the properties that we use to simplify algebraic expressions.  Remember, turn the entire problem into addition, put like terms together and COMBINE!!!!

See you tomorrow!! Don't forget to do your homework!!!

And practice Math Facts at home! I know Coty and Domonique are so close to mastering!!!

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!

Feliz Ano my darlings!!! It was great seeing all of your faces!

What did we do today?

Well, in 7th grade we are making sure that we are mastering the key standards in math which are:
- Translating algebraic expressions into verbal and vice versa
- Adding and subtracting  integers
- Distributive property
- Algebraic Terminology

Tomorrow we will continue working on mastering these standards, and for those of you that have mastered will work on creating a video to post on THIS VERY BLOG!!!!!! To educate the world about Kingdoms!

In 6th grade, we had a HUGE organization day, we named our pineapples and put worksheets 1-4 in them about GCF and LCM.  We organized our assessments and began working on the review of Greatest Common Factor.

Click for a tutorial of BOTH GCF and LCM

Tomorrow let's get moving on these  and both 6ers and 7ers be prepared for an assessment on the above standards on FRIDAY!
