6th Grade Math – Mrs. VonFeldt & Mrs. Thomas
The sixth graders are well into our module on algebraic expressions. We have learned how to use the order of operations when simplifying a numeric expression. We have also learned how to write an algebraic expression and plug in a value for the variable to evaluate the expression. At the end of this week, the students will Combine Like Terms and use the Distributive Property to simplify algebraic expressions. See the videos below for a summary of these concepts.
7th Grade Math – Mrs. VonFeldt
The 7th graders continue to use formulas to calculate the circumference and area of circles. See the image below for the important circle formulas. Students should be able to find any missing measurement when given the others in the formula. Next week, we will use our skills to find the area of compound figures.

8th Grade Math – Mrs. Evans
This week, in 8th grade math, we will be calculating the volume of prisms, cylinders, cones and pyramids using formulas. This is covered in lessons 6.2-6.4 in our text book. We will have a quiz on Friday. Here is a great video that we will be watching in class:
Algebra – Mrs. VonFeldt
In Algebra, we are finishing our study of exponents and exponential growth/decay (Chapter 7). The test will be next Tuesday. This week we will focus on real-world applications of exponential growth and decay. Concepts such as compounding interest, loan repayment, population growth, and medication dosing all follow an exponential function. We will have a guest speaker come in this Thursday and answer questions about investing money and how you can put our algebra concepts to work for you!
