With round 1 of the PARCC testing done and out of the way, we can return to the normal days of learning new topics until the next round of the PARCC in a few weeks. We are going to work hard to get ready for those tests as well.
6th Math: We will be working on similar figures and using proportions to find the missing sides of similar shapes. We will also be using scale factors to find actual sizes of objects and solve shadow problems.
7th Math: This week we dive into more rational operations. They will be focusing on multiplying and dividing along with solving equations using rationals.
8th Math: The 8th graders will continue to look at functions and their parts. We will also begin to look at solving systems of equations using elimination and substitution techniques. Before we do this, there will be work done rewriting equations in terms of x or y.
Have a great week!
