Students who were retesting in math today will need to make-up the test we took on transformations. It is on page 686-687 (#3, 8, 12). Use graph paper to draw each figure, both the pre-image and the transformed figure, then list the co-ordinates for each point. (Do not follow directions in the book.) All work should be done on one sheet of graph paper. Use a ruler to draw straight lines for axes.
Tonight's homework for 2nd and 3rd period is on page 467-468 (1-43). (This also includes last night's assignment.) We will check both assignments tomorrow.
Advanced math classes should read pages 470-471, then do pages 471-472, 1-32, on subtracting integers.
On Friday, we will check all outstanding homework. Advanced math classes will do a Logic Puzzle. Should be fun! There should be no weekend homework if we get everything completed in class. Yea!!!! Take a well-deserved break!

Today, we reviewed transformations for our retest later this week. Students did warm-ups on page 686 (#1, 6, and 10). Then we began our unit on adding and subtracting integers.
2nd period Math: Do Workbook 9-4 and page 631 (#16).
3rd period Math: Do page 631 (16-18)/
6th and 7th period Math: Do Workbook 9-4 and page 631 (16-18).
6th period Math should also get their quizzes signed tonight. All other classes will get their quizzes signed tomorrow night.
We discussed EOG scores in all classes today, so students know how well they did on these tests!
Parents will receive an official report with the report card at the end of the year. Congratulations, everyone, for working so hard and doing so well!

During the week, we will be discussing the rain forest! This is actually a science and social studies unit, with a little math mixed in, but as we spent so much time the past couple of weeks reviewing for and taking the EOG's, we thought it would be nice to take a break from math. Besides, this is an area of great interest and concern for Mrs. Goolsby.
Students will be working in a rain forest booklet, with pages to read and worksheets to complete. The booklets will be discussed in class and students may take them home to work on also. They should be completed by the end of the week. They will be graded, so do a good job on them. The grade will count as a social studies assignment.
During the week, students will also receive the quiz they took last week on functions and transformations. We'll discuss them in class, and then take a test on those two units at the end of the week. Be sure to ask questions as we review and reteach for that test.
Next week we'll begin our unit on integers: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

Today, we reviewed putting decimal numbers in order from least to greatest, first by lining up the decimals, then placing zeros in as place holders. We also reviewed GCF and LCM as well as a permutation problem and reflections, translations, and rotations for our quiz tomorrow. (See page 619, 17-21, for part of this review.)
Advanced math classes received a quiz back on making predictions which they should get signed tonight.
Tonight's homework is in the Workbook, Lesson 12-5.
Also, students should review Chapters 7 (geometry), 8 (proportions and percents), 9 (integers), 10 (area and circumference), 11 (probability), and 12 (functions, translations, reflections, and rotations) to prepare for their EOG test in math on Wednesday.
TUESDAY: We will review for our EOG on page 633 (omit #9) and the names of angle relationships in chapter 7 (page 341). After checking our homework, we will take our quiz on chapter 12, function tables, translations, reflections, and rotations.
Regular math classes will take their quizzes home to be signed tonight.
WEDNESDAY: We will begin class with a final review of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing of fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals to prepare for the calculator inactive part of the EOG. Homework tonight will be in the workbook, Lesson 12-1 and page 628 (4, 5, and 6). This homework will be our final review before the test.
THURSDAY: We will have a shortened class, due to the EOG's, as we did on Wednesday. We'll check our homework from last night and then take a break! WHEW! Thanks for working so hard on EOG's. No homework tonight!
FRIDAY: Again, shortened classes today due to the EOG's. Let's do something fun: a logic puzzle. And one more weekend without homework!

Today we took up the Workbook Lesson 11-6 that was assigned over the weekend to be graded. They will be returned during the week. We practiced some warm-up problems on the board determining how many outcomes were possible with different permutations. Then we learned to write an equation for a function. Tonight, read page 598-599, and do page 600-601 (1-24, omitting 1, 10, 17, 18, and 19).
For warm-ups on TUESDAY, we will practice making some more predictions, as on page 582. After checking homework, we will learn to graph transformations. Read page 610-611, then do page 611-612. You will need graph paper to do the next 3 lessons. You may put several lessons on one sheet of paper.
On WEDNESDAY, we will do Workbook Lesson 12-3 as a warm-up. Then we will learn to graph reflections. Read page 613-614, then do page 614-615 (1-13).
THURSDAY, we will practice som more graphing of reflections, using Workbook Lesson 12-4.
Finally, on FRIDAY, we will review area and circumference of circles, then check homework. We will practice graphing rotations. Read page 616-617 and so page 618-619 (1-13).
Remember to start reviewing each night in your workbook to make sure that you are ready for the EOG's next week. Try one or two problems on each workbook page to see if you remember the material.
Students may stay after school Tuesday or Wednesday for extra help. Just have a parent write a note in the planner on that day to give a student permission to stay. We are here until 4:45 each day.
Also, remember to check grades in SPAN at least once weekly so that you can keep up with progress. Parents should have seen each grade, to be signed, before it is entered into SPAN. Please ask to see one grade each week, parents. Thanks for your help.
