October 9th
One more day for review! All students are welcome to take the retake on Thursday as long as they have completed their practices in IXL.
Even though we review the content in class, I don't give retakes to students who haven't practiced. I have done that in the past and the students will get the same grade or lower. Practice will help move that information into long-term memory.
I will be updating the IXL grades. So, if they have an incomplete in any of the Ratio practices, they will need to complete those today.
Math Retake Unit 01 Ratios and Proportions
The retake was moved from this Wednesday to this Thursday to give an extra day of review. The review passwords were given out today. Students will be able to open the Unit 1 test they took and show you what they missed. Their answers are marked with a check mark and the correct answers are highlighted in green. Please have them review and complete any missing IXL practice before the retake. Have them ask me if there is something they still don't understand.
October 7th We are beginning a new unit!
Please keep up with the practices. If you are unable to get a score of 90% in 20 minutes, stop that assignment and do one that you are able to complete, then let me know.
The following assignments are due at the end of the week and should be practiced without the use of a calculator. The students will NOT be given a calculator for this next unit.

October 2nd
The students are taking their first unit test today on ratios and proportions. Today's test is broken into five standards. Each section is given as a grade.
What happens when they submit the test?
When they submit the test, they will see a grade for the entire test and be able to review in class but a review password will not be given out until everyone has completed the test. So, if anyone is absent, it will not be given out until they come back and take the test. The students will also see an overall grade for the entire test.
How is the test graded?
Grades for each section of the test will be posted by the end of the day but it may take 24 hours to see them on your end. They are not given the one overall grade for the test that they saw when they submitted. The sections are divided by standard, so you will be able to see how your children did in each part of the test.
What do you do with the review password?
When the review password comes home, you will be able to see the test, the correct answers, and what your children chose. This is open for one month, giving the students time to review if they need to retake any part of the test. We will also be reviewing in class.
Retakes
Students who receive a "C" or lower will need to retake the test. We will go over the content again with those students during class time but they will also need to practice what they have learned to move that information into long-term memory. Please make sure they are completing their IXL practices.
October 1st
Today, students were given a review code for both unit 1 study guides. We went over these in school but they may also open them from home by going to
https://srr.assessment.powerschool.com/ and typing in their student IDs and the passwords given to them in class.
The unit test is tomorrow.
This unit covers SOL 6.1 and SOL 6.12. See details below.
September 30th
Use this week to complete any unfinished homework assignments.
Test Wednesday
Unit 01 Ratios and Proportions math test is scheduled for next
Wednesday, October 2nd.
The students will have the use of a calculator for this test.
This unit covers SOL 6.1 and SOL 6.12.
6.1 The
student will represent relationships between quantities using ratios, and will
use appropriate notations, such as a/b, a to b, and a:b.
6.12 The student will
a) represent a proportional relationship between two quantities, including those arising from practical situations;
b) determine the unit rate of a proportional relationship and use it to find a missing value in a ration table;
c) determine whether a proportional relationship exists between two quantities; and
d) make connections between and among representations of a proportional relationship between two quantities using verbal descriptions, ratio tables, and graphs.
September 25th
The user names for IXL changed three time. Last we checked, students were able to get in using their student ID number followed by @porterts or go through the Clever app in their 365 e-mail account. Clever will log in for them.
To get to Clever:
Open your 365 e-mail account.
Click on the
App launcher.
Click on
all apps.
Scroll down and choose
Clever.
IxL is one of the Clever applications.
For the week of September 22nd
By the end of the month, your child should have completed the following practice assignments. They will need a computer access and connection to the internet to complete these assignments.

We have drafted our players for the fantasy football project. Each week, the students will work on four math problems and keep a running total of points for the season. Although the students are in groups, grades are based on individual work, not how many points the teams make. That part is just for fun.
