02/26/15 - Update

Mid-term reports will be going home with the students tomorrow.

Quiz tomorrow for all classes - Percents, Decimals, and Ratios

Today the students started a "Design your own Restaurant" activity.  This activity will help the students review how to calculate area and perimeter.  The activity also extends converting units into a real world scenario that your student is designing.  I cannot wait to see all the restaurant designs!

Our next unit will be on Geometry.

  • We will be working on finding area of polygons by decomposing shapes into triangles and quadrilaterals.  
  • We will be learning how to find the volume of a right rectangular prism.
  • We will solving real world problems by drawing/graphing polygons on a coordinate plane.
  • We will be calculating surface area by using nets.  We will also be applying surface area calculations to real life.

If you have any empty boxes (for example cereal, shoe, etc.) that you do not need, please send them in with your student.  We will break them down and use them to calculate surface area during our next unit :)
