All classes will have a quiz on Friday. The quiz will cover least common multiple (LCM), greatest common factor (GCF) and prime versus composite numbers.
The unit test will most likely be next Friday.
1st & 2nd Periods
Today we worked on solving real world problems using LCM and GCF. Period 1 homework was problems 2, 4, 6, 13, and 14. Period 2 homework was problems 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 16.
4th, 5th and 6th Periods
We started working on factoring out GCF for addition problems using distributive property. Periods 4 and 5 did not have homework. 6th Period had 6 problems.

10/27/14 - GCF/LCM Update
General Math
Most students continued to work on GCF and LCM. The students were to complete their remaining practice problems for homework. Most students worked on more GCF and LCM practice. However, some students were able to move on to solving real world problems using GCF and LCM. Tomorrow we will work on solving real world problems using GCF and LCM and possibly start on distributive property.

Today the students worked on solving real world problems using GCF and LCM. The students were to complete the remaining word problems for homework. Tomorrow we will be starting to work on using GCF with distributive property.
All Classes
Target Test Date for LCM, GCF, and Distributive Property is this Friday, October 31st

10/20/2014 - Prime Factorization
All Classes
Today we started our new unit on Greatest Common Factors (GCF), Least Common Multiple (LCM) and Distributive Property. The students completed a graphic organizer on prime and composite numbers. We practiced using factor trees to find prime factorization. The students had to finish the practice problems for homework tonight.
In all classes we watched a catchy video with a song to help students remember how to use factor trees for finding prime factorization
In Infinite Campus you will notice a new category named "Formative Assessment". This category has zero impact to your student's grade. Today the students completed an exit slip asking them to find the prime factorization of a number. I entered the formative assessment results as an assignment with zero value in Infinite Campus. I report using the following letters: A - Absent; Y - 100% mastery; P - Partial understanding; N - Did not understand concept. All students that did not receive a "Y" will participate in a small group re-teaching session during the next class. At the conclusion of the class the student will be re-assessed to see if they mastered the concept.

10/09/2014 - Update before Fall Break
This week the students finished presenting their integer projects. Many of the projects were very impressive! Thanks to all the support at home on these projects.
The link below is a presentation recorded by one student teaching how to add and subtract integers:

10/1/14 - Quadrants and Integers
General Math
We learned about the four quadrants on the coordinate plane. We took good notes for the students to use as a reference. The students were to finish their practice for homework.
Timeline Integer Projects are due Friday.
Accelerated Math
We worked on adding and subtracting integers. The students will be creating their own 10 integer addition and subtraction problems tonight and solving them. The problems should be a mix of positive and negative integers. Also the graphing mystery picture is due tomorrow.
Integer operation projects are due Monday.
