6/10 Thank you for a wonderful school year! No homework this week.
6/1 I'm posting the Unit 07 Quadrilateral Study Guide. The test on special quadrilaterals will be our last test of the year. It is scheduled for Friday. Please e-mail if you are pulling our child out of school before then.
Homework: This is in the 7th grade section of IXL.
- H
W.6 Classify quadrilaterals I
- W.7 Classify quadrilaterals II
5/28 This week, students will compare their growth assessment scores from the beginning of the year to now. Our last test retake will be on Wednesday. That retake covers concepts from Unit 08 Statistics. On Thursday, we will continue to study special quadrilaterals and the students will take a study guide on those quadrilaterals this Friday.
IXL Homework:
CC.6 Classify quadrilaterals
5/24 Retakes let me know if you still understand the concepts. Today's retakes cover Unit 6 and 7. Wednesday's retake covers Unit 8. The students completed study guides for all of these this week. They were given the answers and asked to ask me questions.
How to Improve Your Grade in my Class:
Retakes are the best way to improve a grade. The tests make up 80% of the math grade. 20% are other types of assessments, like projects. There is no extra credit.
5/19 Monday we have the math SOL.
The rest of the week we will cover seventh grade content involving quadrilaterals. SOL 7.6 a, b...compare and contrast quadrilaterals based on their properties; and determine unknown side lengths or angle measures of quadrilaterals.
Test retakes will be Friday the 24th and Wednesday the 29th.
5/17 The SOL Review Booklet is coming home today. The students have two copies of this review. I will also post the entire review where I keep the study guides, under "Files and Documents" on the left of this post. The answer key will be in the back of the guide. However, a few of the answers on the answer key were wrong. I'll post the corrections to Edmodo tomorrow or later tonight.
The students have been working on this booklet at school. Many of them have completed it and have had their questions answered. The students who haven't completed it could still ask me questions over this weekend if they email me at nelsonka@pwcs.edu. I'm free all weekend to help them.
I also asked students to go into Mathcamp, the online notebook and review the vocabulary words at the bottom of each unit. I try to use the vocabulary in class as much as possible but it's still a good idea to read it over again. They may also e-mail me if they have questions about the vocabulary.
5/12 I posted IXL practice for the SOL. Students will complete any standard that has a gold star next to it. If they have been keeping up with their practices, only a few of the standards will not be completed yet.
Our SOL boot camp was a couple of weeks ago. I held it during school hours so everyone could come. We reviewed the boot camp results last week and I sent home their work with the corrections they made. Please look it over if you have any questions about what they missed.
This week, we will be taking the unit 8 statistics test and practicing for the SOL. The students are completing five different assessments. I'm sending completed and reviewed assessments home with the students each day. They may use these assessments, the boot camp practice, that was sent home last week, and the SOL review booklet to review for the SOL.
Our SOL is next Monday, May 20th. We will begin in the morning and have one day to complete it. I will be staying after school with anyone who needs more time.
5/6 We completed our math boot camp for the SOL as a whole class, during school hours. The information on how your child did went home with them on Friday with all their assignments that we reviewed.
Today, the students are taking a study guide on Unit 8 Statistics. It is the same study guide that is posted under "Files and Documents" on the left of this page. The test will be May 13th.
The SOL for math is on May 20th.
5/1 I have posted the J-Labs checklist to "Files and Documents" on the left of this page. Students are going to complete three assignments and e-mail them to me. I will get them started on it at school.
4/21 We are starting our last unit, Unit 8: Statistics. Please watch the Unit 8 videos on Math Camp. Remember, you can get to there from my Edmodo page. Here is the rest of the homework for this final unit.
- HH.1 Calculate mean, median, mode, and range
- HH.2 Interpret charts and graphs to find mean, median, mode, and range
- HH.3 Mean, median, mode, and range: find the missing number
