6th Grade Math – Mrs. VonFeldt

In 6th grade, we have begun our unit on algebra. We will first look at algebraic expressions and how to represent different situations using variables. This week, we will practice evaluating expressions using the correct order of operations. Watch the video below for an overview of basic algebra:

7th Grade Math – Mrs. VonFeldt & Mrs. Evans

This week, in 7th grade math, we will continue to practice the lessons we have learned in Module 8. We will review and then have a test on Thursday. One of the interesting things we have learned in this module is applying what we understand about angle relationships to set up equations and solving for unknowns. Here is an example of how this is done with vertical angles:

8th Grade Math – Mrs. Evans

This week in 8th grade math we will begin to work in Chapter 7 which takes us back into our studies of algebra. We will be solving two step equations which require simplification and reorganization before we can solve them. Here is an example of how to solve these more complicated equations:

Algebra – Mrs. VonFeldt

This week in Algebra we will be looking at exponential growth and decay equations. Exponential equations are essential in the study of populations, disease progression, finances, projectile motion, and so much more. Here is an example of how to graph an exponential growth function:
