Quarter 2 - last week of the quarter!  :)
Extra Credit Projects...come in during lunch and recess to create ornaments for our polygon and circle tree!  Or create a blow-up cartoon. Go to www.themathlab.com and scroll to the bottom.  Finish the project for a quiz grade, and all the questions with the project for a test grade.  Turn it in the first day back.  Good luck!

Week 1:  All classes take Arithmetic Test and must correct missed problems.  Pre-Algebra starts Chapter 4.  Regular math will work on adding and subtracting fractions.

Week 2:  All classes will take the October benchmark test.
Regular math classes work on adding and subtracting mixed numbers.  Quiz on Day 4!  Pre-Algebra works on chapter 4(Powers and Exponents, Prime Factorization, GCF).  

Week 3:  Mid Chapter Quiz for Pre-algebra, and simplifying fractions, multiplying and dividing monomials, and working with negative exponents.  Regular math classes will multiply and divide mixed numbers, then take a practice test.  BIG TEST on FRACTIONS DAY 1 WEEK 4!!

Week 7:   Math classes take their test on scientific notation and changing dimensions.  Pre-Algebra continues on chapter 5...fractions with
integer rules.
 

Week 8:  HSA testing, so double periods.  Pre-Algebra takes their ch. 5 test, and takes the HSA next Monday.  Math classes start using proportions to solve scale problems (maps and models), and take the HSA on Friday.

  
Week 9:  HSA TESTING, so double periods tthrough Friday.  Pre-Algebra works on chapter 6, ratios and proportions.  Math Classes also work on proportions and begin similar figures. Test this week for periods 1 and 2, and next week for period 6.  All classes take final next week!  All test retakes (ch. 5 Pre-Alg and Chaning Dimensions Test other classes) are Friday lunch and afterschool.  Good luck!

Week 6: Math classes learn about different ways of finding the GCF and LCM and take a quiz on last day of this week on box and whisker, order of operations, prime factorization, gcf and lcm. 

Week 7:  Math Classes will develop their own "Divisibility Raps", and explore word problems that use GCF and LCM.  Pre-Algebra begins Chapter 3 on Number Theory. 

Week 8:  Math Night on Tuesday!!!  6-7:30pm in the cafeteria!  Come play games and have fun learning about fractions.  Students in Math take their Quiz on Day 2 (we've been practicing about LCM/GCF word problems and how to use prime factors and GCF to find reduced fractions.  Pre-Algebra takes mid chapter quiz and big chapter 3 test next monday.  Field trip this week!!!!! 

Week 9:  Last Week of Quarter.  Math Classes take final, and can retake the quizzes and tests during class day 4, and after school Thursday till 4pm.  Pre-Algebra takes ch. 3 test and the final on chapters 1-3.
