Hello!
The sixth grade students began their new unit, How Likely Is It. They are attacking the concepts of probability. The sixth grade green students are working on finishing up this unit and will have a unit test on Monday. The seventh grade students are working in their unit, What Do You Expect. They are looking at the deeper concepts of probability. The eighth grade students finished up their unit, Samples and Populations. They took a vocabulary quiz and a unit test this week. I hope the eighth grade students have a great time in D.C. next week!

Hello!
Although this has been a bit of a stressful week, the students dominated the ISTEP! While the students were hard at work, we worked swiftly in the math classroom. The sixth grade students began their new unit, Comparing and Scaling. This unit involves finding the area and perimeter of two dimensional objects. The seventh grade students did a fabulous job with their last unit projects. Also, they did great on their unit exams. They have began their new unit, Filling and Wrapping, which deals with the concepts of surface area and volume of three dimensional objects. The eighth grade students have began their new unit, Say It With Symbols. We have stepped away from the textbook for a bit, and have just worked on reviewing some key concepts. The students were each given a notice concerning ALEKS. This notice told the students that any ALEKS completed from 03-04-2013 to 03-24-2013 would be counted as extra credit for the fourth quarter. Each class was given a different extra credit opportunity already for the third quarter. Have a great weekend!

Hello,
The middle school continues to work hard in the math class. The sixth grade students have worked hard in finishing their Bits and Pieces 2 unit. They will begin their new unit, Comparing and Scaling, working with area and perimeter. They have extra credit due next Wednesday. The seventh grade students did a great job with their unit project, building the ultimate shopping mall. They finished up the week with their unit test. Their extra credit assignment will be due next Wednesday. The eighth grade students have finished up their unit on quadratic equations. They were to turn in their projects earlier this week. Their extra credit was due on Friday. They will spend the next several lessons reviewing combining like terms and the distributive property. They are all to continue working hard on their ALEKS pie.

The sixth gold class will be finishing up multiplying and dividing fractions, with a test approaching next week. The sixth green class will take their re-scheduled unit test on Monday. The seventh grade students have finished up their unit on comparing and scaling figures. They have begun their group projects on creating the ultimate shopping mall. They will present their finish products next week. The eighth grade students are are finishing up their unit on quadratic relationships. Each of the classes have received information on a project that will be due next Tuesday. They have taken a vocabulary test on Friday, and will take their unit test the following Monday.
