8G finish the two problems started in class (where you had to divide and rearrange terms) and solve the three problems pictured (you will have to divide and/or rearrange, then proceed as usual)

7F finish class work (pp139-140 #6 and 7, draw the diagrams for #7) as well as these two problems: p141 #9 and 10.

6D Bring your corrected polygon/angle quiz to the next class

6S Correct your polygon/angle quiz; finish the class problem and do p265 #3all, #4de (write an equation for the sentence given, AND solve it).

8G: Try to get the same solution to the class problem using the quadratic formula and then solve these three problems using Completing the Square. The following are some links that might be helpful to look at to review the process: Purplemath (scroll down to 2nd ex); The Math Page (they use some fancy language but you can get it); Brightstorm video (I recommend watching the "Concept" video then skip down to problem 3); Illuminations (the applet/tool I used in class, you can play with it).

7Fa: 1. Figure out scale factor needed to get class problem (enlarged figure) back to original size. SHOW OR EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT IT ..... and.... in your book: 2. p132 #1, 3, p133 # 8abc, p138 #2ab, 3abc SYW for each

6D: Correct your polygon/angle quiz. In your book do: pp265-266 #5all. You do not have to draw the shapes but you DO have to write and solve an equation for each, showing same steps on both sides of course.

8G Solve the equations given in class (which I attempted to insert here). Remember to show every step and find BOTH solutions.








BOTH GRADE 6 CLASSES: DO: p262 #5abcdefgh
Copy the eqn from the book THEN show your steps (on both sides). This is due on Monday for 6D and on Tuesday for 6S and if you want the link to the activity we used in class, go to yesterday's blog post :)

7Fa NO HW see you Monday

6D Solve the following equations:

1. 4x + 1 = x + 4

2 3x + 3 = x + 5

3. 3x + 3 = 2x + 7

4. 6x + 5 = 5x + 7

6S Solve the following equations:

1. 2x + 3 = x + 6

2. 3x + 3 = x + 5

3. 4x + 4 = x + 7

4. 3x + 2 = 2x + 3

Click here for the link to the class activity where you can click and add or subtract x's and units. You may want to keep clicking "new equation" until you get problems without negatives (if you don't feel ready yet to try those)

8G NO HW See you Friday

7F Study for test on Circles, Cylinders, Distance-Rate-Time, and Fraction operations

6S p261 #3 Column A, problems a through l. Please do them like we did in class!!!

Hi everyone,
If you are having any difficulty with any of the concepts in these few days, try searching through the Brightstorm videos or use the Math Forum or Maths is Fun (all links provided on the right hand side of this blog).

See you soon,
Miss Falcinelli
