Today we began with warm-ups on page 520 (13 and 14) where we practiced finding the circumference and area of circles. We then checked Monday night's homework on Lesson 10-5 in the workbook, and students received their Luck O'The Irish graphs to take home to be signed. Parents, please ask to see these grades tonight. Homework for tonight is page 549 (1-7). Though it looks like only 7 problems, there are actually 13, as most problems ask for 2 answers, perimeter and area or circumference and area. Wednesday's warm-ups are on page 520 also, continuing the review of circles (15, 16, 17). We will then begin our study of probability of independent and dependent events. We will learn today how to estimate the likelihood of an event and compare probabilities. Read page 554-555. Then do page 556 (1-14) in regular math, and (1-20) in advanced math. On Thursday, we will review "the Big G," which contained our units of measurement for capacity: gallon, quart, pint, cup, and fluid ounces. We'll draw the "sweet 16" heart full of ounces, and the Big T for 2000 pounds in a ton! After checking homework, we will do workbook 11-1 in class, then page 551 (1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10) for homework. Remember that Friday is a teacher workday. Any work that a student wishes to get credit for must be turned in by Thursday before they leave school, or it cannot be given credit. Report card averages will be finalized during the day on Friday.

Today, math classes continued to work on finding area of parallelograms and triangles. We practiced breaking more complicated figures into simpler parts so that we could use the formulas we knew to find areas of figures. Read page 508-509, then do Workbook Lesson 10-3. Show all work on notebook paper. Problems need to be worked out on 3 lines, with the formula on the first line, substituting numbers for the variables on the second line, then finally, putting the answer on the third line. Don't forget to include the squared units, and show all work in rows and columns. Number all problems. We will have a test next Monday that will include these area problems, along with circumference and area of circles.
Second, sixth, and seventh period classes received their integer quizzes to be signed today. Third period will receive theirs tomorrow.
Warm-ups for Tuesday, March 22 are on page 503 (23-26), on adding and subtracting decimals. After checking the Workbook Lesson 10-3, we will continue to compute area and perimeter, then do page 510 (1-8) in regular math. Advanced math classes will discuss comparing perimeter to area on page 511-512 in the text, then do page 513 (1-8) for homework.
On Wednesday, we will warm-up on page 503 (27-30) on proportions and percents. After checking homework, we will learn to identify parts of a circle, then find circumference and area of a circle. Read page 516-517, then do page 518 (1-9) for regular math, and (1-12) for advanced.
Thursday's warm-ups will be on page 507 (21-26) on multiplying mixed numbers. We will continue to practice finding area and circumference of circles on page 518 (13, 14, 15) and page 520 (15 - 20). Remember to ask questions and to study for the quiz on Monday on finding area of triangles, parallelograms, and circles.

For Monday, March 14, we will discuss the Blue Diamond Assessments we took last week, so that students can correct any mistakes they made on finding percentages. Warm-ups for Monday will be on page 457 (39, 40, 41, and 47). For homework, they will work on their graphing project, "Luck O' The Irish." Anyone who is finished already with their project may do the Mystery Picture on the back of the graph. These graphs are due on St. Patrick's Day (Thursday), for advanced math students, and Friday for regular math classes.
Tuesday, March 13, we will review scientific notation with negative exponents, then review multiplying and dividing with exponents, in preparation for our next Blue Diamond Assessment. Then we will take our quiz on integers, finishing it for homework.
Wednesday, March 14, we will do some more exponent review for warm-ups, then take the Blue Diamond 9 Assessment on integers and exponents. Homework Wednesday night will be on page 502 (1-12 for regular math, and 6, 7, 11-22 for advanced math classes.) Remember graphs are due tomorrow for advanced math students. Regular math students should have their graphs finished by Friday.
Thursday's warm-ups will be on page 457 (42-45). The "Luck O'The Irish" graphing projects will be due today for advanced math classes. They are due on Friday for regular math classes. After checking homework, we will begin finding perimeters and areas of parallelograms and triangles. Students should practice memorizing these formulas for their quiz next week. We will read and discuss pages 504-505, then do page 506 (1-16) as homework.
Friday's warm-ups will be on page 461 (34-40). We will check homework, then continue to practice finding perimeter and area. Second period math should do Workbook Lesson 10-2, while 3rd, 6th and 7th period math should do a worksheet.

Warm-ups today are on page 453 (48-51) for regular math, and boardwork on angles for the advanced classes. Students will receive their quizzes back that they took on Friday on angles and transformations, and we will discuss corrections. The we will continue our discussion of integers, learning to order and compare integers. Read page 454-455.
On Tuesday, we will do Workbook 9-1 as our warm-ups. Then we will discuss Blue Diamond Assessments 6, 7, and 8 that we took last week, and make corrections. Homework tonight will be Workbook Lesson 9-2.
On Wednesday, we will do warm-ups on page 457 (36, 37, 38, and 46). After checking homework, we will review how to locate and graph points on a coordinate plane. Read page 458-459, then do page 460 (1-27). You will need graph paper to complete this exercise.
Thursday, we will do warm-ups on page 457 (39, 40, 41, and 47). Then we will check homework, and finally, do Workbook Lesson 9-3 in regular class, and page 461 (28-36) in advanced math.
On Friday, we will do our warm-ups on page 457 (42-45) before we check our homework, then we will start our Luck O' the Irish Graphing Project.

On Monday of this week, students did Warm-Ups on page 425 (49-51) to review and reteach percents, decimals and fractions. Then they checked their homework and learned about transformations (translations, reflections, and rotations). Read page 365-366, then do page 367-368 (1-17).
Warm-ups on Tuesday continued the practice on percents, to help students prepare for their Blue Diamond Assessments on those skills. We worked on Blue Diamond 7 and 8, and will finish in class tomorrow. For homework, regular math students should do Workbook 7-10, while advanced math students will do that page along with a worksheet on angles. They should do the right hand side of the worksheet only. All students will take a quiz on Thursday on classifying triangles and transformations. Also, all classes will have their angles quizzes returned and should get those quizzes signed for extra credit.
Warm-ups for Wednesday are on page 414 (4, 5, and 6) on proportions and map scales. After checking homework, students will be assigned page 384-386 (3-11 and 18) to help them prepare for their quiz on Thursday. We will also introduce integers in class this day. Advanced math students will do the left-hand side of the worksheet on angles (1-23).
Thursday's warm-ups are on page 425 again, problems 52-59. After checking homework, we will take our quiz. Then we will do homework on page 389 (1-10). On number 6, be sure to work out all 4 problems to pick the best answer choice.
On Friday, our warm-ups will be on integers, Workbook 9-1. Then we will check homework.
Our lesson will be on comparing and ordering integers, from page 454-455 in the text. Homework will be on page 456 (1-30).
Remember that we do offer homework help after school on Tuesdays. If any student is struggling with a concept, they are encouraged to come for extra help, or just to have time to get homework done, on those afternoons. Please see Mrs. Woodward for a permission form to stay.
