Each year we identify 3 key outcomes for each grade that greatly represent the foundational outcomes at each level. The outcomes identified are shown below. To help review these concepts the students have been provided with study packages that consist of previous quizzes from class as well as practice review work from the text. We are going over all of these materials in class and video will be supplied of these review. This will allow students a way to review independently using the provided materials on paper, the videos online, and help within the classroom.
In addition: students are being assigned further review materials from the text to help ensure they are prepared for the test next Friday.
The Outcomes Being Represented and
The Textbook Review Materials Suggested
Grade 7 Essential Outcomes
7.N.2. Demonstrate an understanding of the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals to solve problems (for more than 1-digit divisors or 2-digit multipliers, technology could be used).
7.N.5. Demonstrate an understanding of adding and subtracting positive fractions and mixed numbers, with like and unlike denominators, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically (limited to positive sums and differences).
8.N.1. Demonstrate an understanding of perfect squares and square roots, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically (limited to whole numbers). [C, CN, R, V]8.N.6.
8.N.6. Demonstrate an understanding of multiplying and dividing positive fractions and mixed numbers, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically. [C, CN, ME, PS]
Today we started talking about probability. We started with some games and essential questions about the likelihood of events occurring. Check out the sheet from class linked below. The directons for this lesson (partner activity) are within the document in the link.
This week the Grade 7’s are studying how to find the area of parallelograms and triangles. The Grade 8’s will be studying the volume of rectangular and triangular prisms.
Today we are taking our linear equations from the previous weeks and putting them into action in different formats including tables and graphs.
Note: seeing as we are currently in remote learning students may either choose to create their own graph paper using this link. Or they can use an online graph creating website at this link for their assignment. Grade 8’s: when using this link you will need to input your positive and negative values for making a cartesian plane. If you wish to do them digitally online, then you can use this link here.
Grade 7’s are working on assignment 1.6 in the text and completing numbers 1-8
This week we are revisiting our algebra work to review and consolidate what we were learning last week. Students are encouraged to come in for extra help and to watch the additional videos below if they are in need of more help. This week grade 7’s are working on assignment 1.4 in the test and grade 8’s on 6.2. All questions are to to be completed prior to the due date morning with corrections made in order to prepare for the quiz that morning.
Today the Gr. 7’s started looking at adding fractions symbolically with numbers as a follow up to our work the previous week using models. The Grade 8’s are also extending last week’s skills and are working on multiplying fractions using models. See the assignments and videos below.
