6th Grade Math – Mrs. VonFeldt
The sixth graders are practicing their skills on fraction operations. We are focusing on division of fractions and mixed numbers this week. Keep, Change, Flip has been our guide: to divide fractions: KEEP the first fraction, CHANGE the operation from division to multiplication, and FLIP the second fraction. See the video link below.
There will be a Chapter 2 Test on Friday.

7th Grade Math – Mrs. VonFeldt & Mrs. Evans
The 7th graders will finish Module 3 this week, establishing a great foundation of skills to use as we move through the year. We will be able to use positive and negative fractions, decimals, integers and mixed numbers. We will practice dividing rational numbers on Monday. We will then practice using the proper order of operations and solve real world problems using rational numbers. As we move through the year, we will want to practice all these skills and build confidence. A great place to practice these skills is in IXL.COM. Here are some areas in IXL that would be good to practice this week:
IXL | Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Spanish
8th Grade Math – Mrs. Evans
We are learning about functions this week in 8th grade math. We will be learning to build tables from functions and then to use the table to graph the function. These are very useful skills and will help us in our study of algebra. We will learn to identify which tables and graphs show functions and which functions are linear or non-linear. Here is a helpful video for students and families wanting more help:
Algebra – Mrs. VonFeldt
In Algebra, we are finishing up our chapter on solving linear equations. Students are now able to use strategies to solve multiple step equations, including those involving proportional relationships. These skills are foundational to our study of Algebra. There is a Chapter 2 Test on Thursday.
In the next chapter, we will expand our skills to graphing linear equations.
