End of Tri 2 - Start of Tri 3

~ HAPPY SNOW DAY ~

As I look forward to our Trimester 3 activities I realize that time is quickly passing by and we have very little time left to get ready for 7th grade!  We are planning on finishing our Algebra unit by next Friday and moving on to Probability.  Since we don't have a probability unit in our new curriculum, we are planning on using probability as a focus for MATH NIGHT.  We are also planning something a little more "active" so if you are able to join us, we would love to see you on Tuesday, March 12th from 5:15 - 6:45.  We will start in the cafeteria with a light dinner and move on to some math activities.

Moodle - This has also been put on the back burner for a little while and will be updated more frequently with assignments for students to do and access HW assignments from a home computer.  The students should know how to login to the computer.  It is the same information they use to login to a computer at the school.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

March Madness

I can't believe it's March already.  I'm so sorry about not keeping up with the blog and staying current with what's happening in math class.  Here is a little update:

Friday, March 1 - REWARD DAY!
          We are planning on going outside from 1:30 - 3pm.  It will be a fun event with sledding (bring your own sled please) and playing in the snow.  It looks like it will be around 35 degrees this day so dress accordingly.

Unit 5 - Expressions & Equations
          We are working on order of operations and solving equations.  This is an intense unit with a lot of algebra.  It will be a lot of work but it is going to be fun with these high levels of thinking/learning.

After School Help
          I am still available after school for any help, however starting March 11th I will be unavailable due to coaching.  I will still be available some mornings and during most lunches for additional help with homework.  I really encourage students to get help when it is needed so they are staying on top of their work until the end of the year.

MCA Test - 5 WEEKS AWAY!  Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements about MCA testing.  It will be in the middle of April.

March 12 - MATH NIGHT
          We are doing something NEW and EXCITING for the upcoming math night.  We will be playing games and taking a closer look at probability.  If you can make it, please do so since this is a topic that is very important but not covered in our new curriculum.  We look forward to seeing you there!
