7A Math:

Students wrote their Chapter 6 : Introduction to Fraction Operations test yesterday.

Today students were assigned a “Get Ready” worksheet for Chapter 7 : Add and Subtract Fractions. This worksheet has valuable examples and definitions that will help students to complete the work in this chapter. Students who did not complete the sheet in class must complete it for homework and we will begin Chapter 7 concepts tomorrow.

Math:

 Notice: The  Chapter 6 Final Test  is on Tuesday April 6th. Please check your answers in homework and on quizzes to know what to fix before the test.

Today students wrote their Quiz for Ch.6 , Section 6.3 and were then given an in-class assignment to work on for the two math periods. This assignment is due on Tuesday, April 6th if students did not complete it in class.

Health:   In-class assignment “Stress in Relationships Cartoon ” was due today if not already handed in.

Math:

Students worked on two worksheets from Chapter 6, Section 6.3 on subtracting fractions today. These are for homework if they are not finished. Students must also complete the Chapter 6 Review in their textbook and correct their answers by Thursday. If the student is in the Booklet Group they will complete the Chapter 6 Review in their booklet instead and correct their answers as well.

Wednesday, Day 3 is a music day for a number of students in our class and so remaining students will continue to work on these assignments in class.

The Chapter 6, Section 6.3 Mini-quiz will be held Thursday. Please remember to review  examples, questions and key ideas in the text book and booklets and correct answers in order to prepare for the quiz.

Health: If your child has not yet handed in a signed permission form for the Health Sexuality Unit please have them do so immdiately or have them ask for a new form if needed. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at skmcintosh@edu.pe.ca .

Math: Today students wrote  Mini-quiz #2 on  Chapter 6, Section 6.2 on adding fractions and began working on Section 6.3 , subtracting fractions.

Their Mini-quiz #1 Ch. 6, Section 6.1 was returned to them and we went over some common mistakes to correct. I ask parents to please sign and return the quiz to school so I know you have seen it. 

The last Mini-quiz #3, Section 6.3 will be held on Thursday, Day 4.

Homework for tonight:

Booklet Group( those students with Ch. 6 booklets must complete this only):

Readexamples on p.302, 303,  and 304  and do each of the Show You Know questions on these pages. Do questions #2-8 on pages 305-308.

Read examples on pages 218-219 and complete the Show You Know questions. Do questions #2-14 on pages 220-221.

In Math today we finished section 6.1, sorting numbers based on their divisibility and in Section 6.2 we discussed ways to add fractions with like denominators using a  model and how to use common factors to reduce a fraction to lowest terms then  represent the new fraction using a model.

Notice: 7A will have a Mini-Quiz on section 6.1 on Friday and a Mini-Quiz on section 6.2 on Monday.  Please be sure your child is correcting his or her homework and is fixing mistakes or asks for help if they still do not understand a certain topic or questions.

Students were assigned the following work for tonight and tomorrow’s homework. They will also receive a  review handout to work on in class  tomorrow if they finish this homework early. (Some students received a Booklet with a pink cover today and they are asked to complete the designated questions in the booklet instead of the questions in their math book. See “Booklet group” for homework below.)

Prepare for Quiz Section 6.1 on Friday

Students are assigned a worksheet in Health class today on Thinking Patterns and  must complete both sides for homework.

Math: Complete worksheets assigned on Monday.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable March Break and is feeling excited for spring.

Today in Math we reviewed the concepts covered in Chapter 6,  section 1 before the March Break, namely: finding factors of a number, using divisibility rules, common factors and  using a greatest common factor to reduce a fraction to lowest terms.  Students were assigned a handout titled “Chapter 6 Factors and Multiples” and were asked to use the divisibility rules to complete the questions and  explain why a number is divisible or not.

This handout is for homework .

Students will not have Math class tomorrow, Day 3 because they will be attending the M.A.D.D. presentation from 9:00-10:00.

REMINDER:  Please make sure your child has returned a completed permission slip for the Grade 7 Health  Sexuality Unit by  Friday, March 26th. (If you need another copy of the permission slip please let me know.)

Due to the M.I.S. ski trip tonight I have not assigned any Math homework.

Tomorrow students will have a substitute teacher and will be asked to complete some worksheets on factors (ex. factors of 10: 1,2,5,10) and they will learn the definitions needed for Chapter 6. These worksheets and definitions will be for homework if not completed in class.

Today in Math I handed back the 3rd Chapter 4 mini-quiz and the Chapter 4 test.  

Many students were able to improve their marks on the test. We reviewed divisibility rules and started the activity on p. 199 of their textbook. ex. Is 28 divisible by 2, 3,  and/or 4?  Students should use the Divisibility Rules chart they copied in class last week  (or it can be found on p. 206) to complete the homework.

 All students must complete Mathlinks textbook p.199 #3 &4 and p. 200 #5 & 6  for tomorrow.

Today our class is continuing to work on Chapter 6: Introduction to Fraction Operations while the music students are in music class.

There isn’t any homework for tonight but you may wish to discuss  commonly used fractions and equivalent fractions and talk about real life examples of places we would find and use these fractions. 

ex.

1/2          3/4         2/3        1/5     etc. 

1/2 =2/4

1/5=20/100

2/6= 1/3
