This week we are revisiting fractions with the grade 7’s working on adding and subtracting fractions and the grade 8’s working on multiplying fractions (even with mixed numbers).

The Grade 7’s are working on assignment 5.6 #’s 1-9 and will complete  #’s 1 – 1-10, 12 in assignment 5.7.  click on the link for a copy of the pages of the text below.

21.02.01 Grade 7 – Adding and subtracting with mixed numbers – 5.6 5.7

PLEASE NOTE GRADE 8s: it is acknowledged that you have already done assignment 3.3, however,  as a review you are specifially asked to complete #’s 6, 9 , 11, and 14  using the area models of multiplying fractions. Then move on to assignment 3.4 and complete  #’s 4-11, 13-14.  click on the link for a copy of the pages of the text below.

19.02.25 grade 8 – multiplying fraction and mixed numbers – 3.3 3.4-1vo9wce

Here are some helpful videos from Math Antics to help you.

This week we are looking at graphing data and analyzing it using mode, mean, median, and range.  Click the links below for the assignments.

Grade 7 are doing assignment 7.1 and 7.2.  For 7.1 they are to do #’s 2-7 and for 7.2 #’s 1-3 and 5-7.

19.03.11 grade 7 – mean mode median range – 7.1 7.2-1ujbv0v

Grade 8 are doing assignment 7.1 and are to do #’s 3-12.

19.03.11 grade 8 – choosing an appropriate graph – 7.1-1dlro1n

Check out the videos below to help you with this concept.

Grade 7 Lesson (A+)

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.

Here are some extra lessons on Dividing Fractions (for Grade 8s)

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.

19.03.18 Probability-1rc8z06

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.

Grade 7: Assignments 4.3 and 4.4 do all #’s

19.02.18 grade 7 – area of parrallelogram and triangles – 4.3-4.4-1i4cvcv

Grade 8: Assignments 4.5 and 4.6.  For 4.5 do #’s 4-13 and for 4.6 do #’s 3-13

19.02.11 grade 8 – volume of prisms – 4.5-4.6-144l1cv

Today the Grade 7’s are looking at converting from fractions, to decimals, and finally, to percents.  Grade 8’s will be working on ratios.

Click on the links below to watch the lessons (videos coming soon) and to download the assignment.

Grade 7’s are to complete all questions and Grade 8’s are to complete questions 4-16

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
