6th Grade Math – Mrs. VonFeldt

This week, the 6th graders will

Chapter 6 is all about algebraic expressions. This week we will learn how to evaluate exponents and how to correctly use order of operations. For these skills, it is important that the students use an organized, step by step process. If they can learn the process, they will be able to correctly evaluate almost any expression. The image below is a nice example of how to show your work step by step, following the Order of Operations process.

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

This week, in 7th grade math, we will continue in Module 8, as we investigate triangles, cross-sections and angle relationships. We will use GEOGEBRA to investigate the triangles and cross-sections. Here is a link to two investigations that students will have the opportunity to work through:

Triangle Inequality Theorem – GeoGebra

Sections of Cones – GeoGebra

We will determine how angles formed when two lines intersect are related to each other. Here are some important angle relationships:

8th Grade Math – Mrs. Evans

This week in 8th grade math we will finish with our study of volume as we use volume calculations to make educated guesses about how many marbles fit in a jar. Then we will move back into algebraic studies with Chapter 8 in our books. This week we will polish our expression simplification skills. For those students who need additional practice on any of the algebraic skills we are working, IXL is a great spot for help! Here is a link to IXL:

Algebra – Mrs. VonFeldt

This week in Algebra are evaluating exponential expressions using all the properties of exponents. This skill is foundational to our upcoming lessons on exponential growth and decay, and our study of quadratic functions. The image below is a good summary.
