Twoum + Twoum!!! Hee Hee Hee.....
Have a great day.
Hope everybody had a somewhat easy time with the homework on multiplying and dividing equations. Although it was new, it was very much based on what we have been doing. The steps of locating the side you are working on, combining like terms on each side, inverse operations to balance, solving and checking are all the same for adding and subtracting. Make sure you bring in your work and questions and we will go over these in class.

Good Monday Morning,
Are you ready to start a new week? I hope so, because we are off and running in math this week.
Last week we were solving 1 step equations by finding the inverse operation of adding or subtraction of the constant that was on the variable side to balance the equations. Today we will slowly look into multiplication and division problems. Recognizing these is the trick to finding the inverse operation. Hang on, ask questions and we will get through this.
Classwork( homework) page 336 # 12- 30 even # solve and check.
The chuckle for the day: Why did the kid sleep with a ruler?
He wanted to see how long he slept! Hee Hee Hee...

TGIF,
We made it through this week with solving 1 step equations. Do you get the feeling that there may be a 2 step equation? If you guessed yes, you are so right, there are 2 step equations that involve multiplication and division. But for today, we will stick to adding and subtracting the 1 step equations. After going around the rooms yesterday, I found that most of you are catching onto this process. We will go over the homework(practice 7.3 C #1-11 odd). With the time remaining we will go over the evens on the white boards.
There is no written homework, but please review all the rules for + - x / for decimals, fractions, and integers.
The chuckle for the Day: How does a cow add?
With a COWculator!!! Hee Hee Hee....
Have a great weekend.

Good Thursday Morning,
How are you doing with solving 1 step equations? With this being new, it can be difficult. Make sure you bring any and all questions you may have to class so we can have a solid foundation for our next steps coming up. Use your flip books or textbooks for references to help getting used to the steps needed to solve and check these equations. Remember the steps: work on the variable side, combine like terms on each side, inverse operations to balance, solve and check.
We will be going over the homework (practice 7.3 B #1-15 odd)in class.
The homework for the day is to complete the practice 7.3 C #1-11 odd number only.
The makeup test for chapter 6 will be today during tutorial. Come in asap to complete the test.
The chuckle for the Day: A visitor at the Royal Tyrell Museum asks a museum employee, "Can you tell me how old the skeleton of the T-Rex is?"
"It is precisely 60 million and three years, two months, and eighteen days old."
"How can you know that with such precision?"
"Well, when I started working here, one of the scientist told me that the skeleton was 60 million years - that was precisely three years, two months, and eighteen day ago...!" Hee Hee Hee...

Good Wednesday morning,
Quite a windy morning it is. Hope none of you lost any homework in the wind!!!
In math class we are continuing on with adding and subtracting equations. This is the foundation to solving more difficult equations, so we need some more practice. Make sure you use the flip book or textbook for a reference. Brief overview of the steps- Know what side to start on- combine terms if possible- inverse operations to balance - solve - check the answer. Alot to learn but soon this will be secondhand. Let me know how you are doing by submitting comments today.
For homework: Practice 7.3 B #1-15 odd show all work on the back of the sheet.
Textbook homework: page 330 #28-29.
Today and Thursday is the makeup test for chapter 6. If you have the signed test, corrections and made a practice tutorial, come in for the retest. If not you must do so immediately.
The chuckle for the Day:
Math Teacher: " Divide 14 sugar cubes into three cups of coffee so that each cup has an odd number of sugar cubes in it>"
Matt: "That's easy: one, one, and twelve."
Teacher: "But twelve isn't odd!"
Matt: "It's an odd number of cubes to put in a cup of coffee!" Hee Hee Hee.....

Oh no, it's April Fool's Day,
I am confident that no one will even try to pull an April Fool's Day joke on me!!! I am on the lookout for them, so try if you must, I am ready!!
Today we are having a regular schedule so we will have plenty of time reviewing adding and subtracting with equations. This needs to be a firm knowledge as it is the foundation to all upcoming work with algebra. The transition into equations from expressions mean we are solving for a variable and balancing the equation. We will go over this in class and answer any and all questions you may have.
The make up test for chapter 6 will be on Wednesday and Thursday. You must make sure you attend a tutorial time with me to review the concepts prior to the makeup test.
The homework of the day:
The chuckle of the Day:
Math teacher: " If 1 + 1 = 2 and 2 + 2 =4, what is 4 + 4?"
Emily:"That's not fair. You answer all the easy ones and leave us the hard ones!" Hee Hee Hee......
April Fool's Day to all.

Good Monday Morning,
Burrrrr...... Hard way to start the week, but I heard that it will warm up later this week. Did you enjoy your exra long weekend? I hope so and that you are ready to start the week rested and ready to go.
Allagash is going to view the musical this morning so the schedule will be abbreviated again. Check out the times for each class outside in the common area.
In math class we are going to continue on with our work with algebra. Finding the like terms and of course combining them to simplify the expression. We should be able to move onto solving equations today. Very related to expressions but with a few new twists and turns where you need to balance both sides. Hang on, it is easier than it sounds.
The homework for the day: page 329-330 # 4,7,11,12,14,15,16,17,18 Solve and check these equations.
There will be a tutorial time to review all the operations in fractions and integers - come in if you plan on taking a retest on chapter 6 or if you are still shaky on those concepts.
The chuckle for the Day:What did pi say to i?
Get real!!! Hee Hee Hee....
Have a great day.

Good Thursday Morning,
Today is a half day for students today followed by a whole day off on Friday, so enjoy your extended weekend.
But for today in math class, we do have to do some work on simplifying expressions by combining like terms. Hope your homework(practice 7.2 B) went well last night. We will look ths over and get to your questions you still may have. I also will be checking for the test corrections and parent signatures for Chapter Test 6.
The homework for the weekend is for you to make sure you practice on working with the 4 operations with decimals, fractions, and integers if you are not automatic with these.
The chuckle for the day: A new government 10 year survey that cost $3,000,000,000 revealed that 3/4 of the people in America make up 75% of the population. Hee Hee Hee...
Have a fun packed and long weekend.

Good Morning this fine Tuesday,
In class today we are plowing into writing variable equations and expressions from verbal models. After going over any questions you may have from the homework( page 319 #7-41), we will start to simplify the expressions. We have gone over what terms are and need to understand LIKE TERMS to be able to simplify expressions and equations. Some other important vocabulary words are coefficients,constants and variables.

Kid: "Well, it a really hard problem: There are four ducks swimming in a pond, when two more ducks come in and join them. How many ducks are now swimming in the pond?"
Dad: "You couldn't do that? All you need to know is that 4 + 2 = 6!"
Kid: "Do you think I am stupid! Of course I know that 4 + 2 = 6. But what does this have to do with ducks?!!" Hee Hee Hee.....

Good Tuesday Morning,
In math class we will be going over any questions on the homework(page 296 # 7-30) from last night on the coordinate plane system. We will be going over the all important concept of DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY. This is a math law that allows us to distribute - spread out- the term outside the parentheses to each of the terms inside the parentheses. This is an extremely important property and will lead us nicely into chapter 7 when we evaluate EQUATIONS. After that we will pass out all the tests that I have in my hands!! I know it is about time! As always, corrections must be made on a separate sheet of paper stapled onto the tests complete with a parent signature. We need to keep parents in the loop as to how you are doing and this is just another way for most of you to brag to them on your progress in math.
The homework for the day:
1. Corrections and signatures on the tests.
2. page 301 #1-14
3. Review for the upcoming test on Friday over chapter 6.
The chuckle for the day: There was a nickle and a dime rolling on a bridge. The nickle fell off. Why?
The dime had more "cents"!!! Hee Hee Hee....

Welcome back to a regular Monday. Yes, a regular Monday!!! So in Math, we will be going over the 4 operations using negative integers quickly and taking a small pop quiz for understanding. We will then move onto the coordinate plane and the vocabulary associated with that. This should be a review from last year but we may need to blow out the cobwebs!!!
The homework for the day is page 296 # 7-30. You will need graph paper for this.
The chuckle for the day: What has 2 hands but can not carry anything?
A clock!!! Hee Hee Hee....
Progress reports are due back signed by parents.
Have a great day.

Well today is Wednesday and it is the second day of the mini MEA's. I hope you found yesterday's start on the MEA's not too stressful. Today will be the end of Language Arts sections and the start of the math testing. No calculators are allowed today but bring one in for tomorrow's 2 math tests. Do your very best today. With that being said, look for the schedule changes for today. As always, these are posted outside in the common area.
BRING IN A CALCULATOR FOR TOMORROW"S MATH TESTS.
Continue on with your review on classzone.com and bring in any questions you have to me.
The chuckle for the Day:
Math teacher: "If you were 7 last year, how old will you be next year?"
Kid: "Nine."
Math teacher: "Not so!"
Kid: " No, it's correct, teacher. I'm eight today!" Hee Hee Hee...
FYI: Progress Reports coming out this week.

You must bring a book in the event that you get done the testing early.
Periods 2 and 3 will be meeting for math today in the afternoon. Bring all your questions you have to class so we can discuss these in class.
The homework for the day is to go over classzone.com and review any concepts you may be stuck on.
The chuckle of the Day: What goes up and never comes down?
Your age!! Hee Hee Hee.....
Have a great day.

Good Tuesday,
Wow, just listening to the weather forecast on tv and it looks quite gloomy. Stay tuned for any delays or cancellations tomorrow.
But for today in math class, we will be going over the review packets today. How are you finding the wording of the problems? Somewhat different than our book huh? We will go over any questions you may have especially dealing with strategies to solve these problems.
Homework will be to continue on with the packet and also do the review work on chapter 6, 7 or 13 on classzone .com.
THe chuckle for the day: How many times can you take 5 from 25?
Only once, after that you are taking it from 20!! Hee Hee Hee...
have a great day and stay dry going home!

What a winterland Wednesday!!
It's great to be in today. Hope you feel the same.
In math class we will continue on with our work with fractions using all of the 4 operations. We will go over division with fractions and whole numbers and hopefully cover all questions and concerns you may have with these. The test over this material on using fractions with the 4 operations only( not the metric conversions at the end of the chapter)will be Friday. Besides class time, there is tutorial time and morning times to come in and get extra help. Reviewing by going on classzone.com chapter 5 is also a great way to prepare for this test besides doing the homework.
The homework for tonight is pages 242-243 # 1-33.
The chuckle for the day: What happens when you cross a friend with a calculator?
You get a friend you can count on!!! Hee Hee Hee....
FYI: Conference time sheets are coming out today. Conferences are next week on Thursday and Friday.
MEA's are coming up in the week of March 10.

Happy Tuesday,
Glad to be here especially with the forcasted weather report for tonight and tomorrow morning. Hope we make it in tomorrow also.
Anyways in Math we are moving on with the operations with FRACTIONS. Yesterday we reviewed multiplying fractions( multiply the numerators and denominators across then simplify)and we will go over the homework for any questions you may have doing this independent work. Did you feel that multiplying is easier than adding or subtracting fractions? I like not doing that extra step and not getting a common denominator in multiplying fractions. Today we will move on to the last operation- division with fractions, mixed numbers and whole numbers. Bet that was not a surprise to any of you!
We will define RECIPROCAL and find the tricks to performing this operation. Hint: related to multiplying with fractions!!!
I will be checking the corrections and parent signatures from the Chapter 4 test passed back yesterday so be ready with that work also.
The classwork- homework for the day is pages224-225 #3,5,6,8,10,11,13,16,21,25,28,29,31,32,35.
The chuckle for the day: If one is not enough, two is company and three's a crowd, what's four and five?
Nine! Hee Hee Hee....
Have a great day and stay tuned to the tv for the weather tomorrow morning. Hope to see all of you on Wednesday - NO MORE SNOW DAYS - .....
FYI: Parent Conferences are coming up next week on Thursday and Friday ( March 6-7). Look for the conference sheets for times slots to the conference coming out in the next couple of days.

Welcome back,
Wow, what a week. Hope your vacation was just wonderful. Are you ready to be back?
Well, here we go...
In math class we are moving on with fractions. After a quick review with adding and subtracting fractions( remember the trick of common denominators) we will move onto MULTIPLYING FRACTIONS with MIXED NUMBERS. Look for that trick- multiply across the numerators and denominators) I always felt that this operation was actually easier as it doesn't have the tough step of common denominators. What are your thouhgts?
The homework for the day is pages 218-219 # 3,8,9,16,23,24,25,31,33,36,39-49. Seems like a lot but you will have a great deal of classtime to work on this assignment also.
The second homework assignment is to make corrections(on separate sheet) the chapter 4 tests and have your parent signature on the test itself. Remember this keeps parents informed of your work in math class and it is most often time a bragging right for you folks.
The chuckle of the DAY:
What does the zero say to the eight? Nice Belt!! Hee Hee Hee....
Have a great day,

Burrrrr Again on this Fine Tuesday Morning,
Even with the Spirit Week on the Second Day- Career Day, we do have math class.
On today's agenda we will be covering adding and subtracting Fractions. The trick to these operations is to make sure the denominators are common - the same. With that on your minds, this should be a breeze today. We will answer any and all questions and then move onward to Multiplying FRACTIONS. What's the TRICK with those? We will also deal with mixed numbers - remember those? Hang on for a heavy load of math today.
No homework today in the text- (did I hear a hurrah!!!)
The chuckle for the Day: Number 2 said to number 3: "Boy, number 6 is really bad news. He's always in trouble."
Number 3 replied, "What do you expect. He's a product of our times!" Hee Hee Hee....
Stay tuned to the news as I have heard there is another snow storm blowing in tonight into the morning.

This is SPIRIT WEEK:
Monday: Crazy Hair
Tuesday: Career Day
Wednesday: Beach Day
Thursday: Pink, White and Red Day
Friday:Mix Up Day
With this week being SPIRIT week, we still need to focus on Math as hard as that is. So...
In math class we are working on the Jeopardy review boards. Bring in your 10 questions and answers(page #)along with your laptops to class. We will continue on with the board and have them finished up within this week.
Your homework that was due this morning will be covered on Tuesday. There is no new homework assigned today.
The Chuckle for the Day: Who designed King Arthur's Round Table?
Sir Cumference, of course. Hee Hee Hee....

Well it's Friday,
We made it to the end of another week. Oh how the time flies. Hope you are rested and ready for the day.
Our schedule is a strange one today due to a survey that will be completed - the day's schedule is located outside in the common area. Periods 4&5 are meeting but for shortened classes while Periods 2&3 are meeting for the regular amount of time. But be aware that the day does not follow the Friday periods, it follows the Wednesday periods! In addition, we are going to the Friday's tutorial class! NOW KEEP THAT STRAIGHT. And no, this is not the chuckle for the day!
In math class, we will continue on with Adding and Subtracting Fractions. These 2 operations with fractions seem to be more difficult than the other two operations of multiplying and dividing, as you have the step of common denominators. Hopefully all questions on the computation are cleared up today. Always remember to put all fractions in simplest form whenit is an answer.
For those that choose, you may opt out of the class discussion this day and take a pretest on Chapter 5 today in class.
Keep on working on the 10 questions and answers (page numbers) for the jeopardy board you are creating soon.
There is no homework today so enjoy your weekend.
The Chuckle for the Day: What did Math say to Science?
I sure have problems! Hee Hee Hee...

Hi Class,
I'm back after missing an exciting day yesterday with the late start. So we are off .....
In math class we will review what was covered yesterday with ADDING and SUBTRACTING FRACTIONS. The homework from yesterday is still a go for today. We should be able to plow through the concepts in good shape today.
There is no POD as the homework will cover this.
The chuckle for the DAY:
What kind of tree does the math teacher have?
A geome-tree!! Hee Hee Hee....
Make today be your best ever.

It's Super Tuesday, and no, it's not because I am not there!!!Hee hee hee...
I am out for the day but I do want the fine work to continue on as if I were there though. Be on your best behavior and have a good day.
(I just heard that school is on a 2 hour delay so the schedule will change. Review the new material listed below on adding and subtracting fractions, but the homework is not due on Wednesday, but rather on Thursday.)
For those of you who were absent on Monday or those who need to complete the test, the make up on Chapter 4 test will be on Wednesday during SSR/tutorial.
In math class, we are starting chapter 5 - ADDING AND SUBTRACTING FRACTIONS. The trick to these is making sure the denominators are the same and if they are not- MAKE THEM the same by LCM- LCD. Then make sure the answer is in simplest form.
For homework(classwork): Pages 207 -208 #6,8,16,18,19,20,21,22,24,28,32,34
Make sure you write down the problem, show all work and box in the answers. The word problems should follow the POD format. These word problems will be the PODs for today - include them in your homework and not separately.
The chuckle for the day:
Teacher: How much is half of 8?
Chelsea: Up and down or across?
Teacher: What do you mean?
Chelsea: Well, up and down it makes 3, but across the middle it make it 0!!! Hee Hee Hee...
FOR MY MATH TEAM( especially to Patty, Forrest, Max, and Joey,): Here's to the best competition so far. Be your best and remember the strategies we talk about in class. Good luck in today's meet. If you have a moment to drop me a comment on how it went, do so as I will check in with them from home.
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. CM

(I just heard that school is on a 2 hour delay so the schedule will change. Review the new material listed below on adding and subtracting fractions, but the homework is not due on Wednesday, but rather on Thursday.)
For those of you who were absent on Monday or those who need to complete the test, the make up on Chapter 4 test will be on Wednesday during SSR/tutorial.
In math class, we are starting chapter 5 - ADDING AND SUBTRACTING FRACTIONS. The trick to these is making sure the denominators are the same and if they are not- MAKE THEM the same by LCM- LCD. Then make sure the answer is in simplest form.
For homework(classwork): Pages 207 -208 #6,8,16,18,19,20,21,22,24,28,32,34
Make sure you write down the problem, show all work and box in the answers. The word problems should follow the POD format. These word problems will be the PODs for today - include them in your homework and not separately.
The chuckle for the day:
Teacher: How much is half of 8?
Chelsea: Up and down or across?
Teacher: What do you mean?
Chelsea: Well, up and down it makes 3, but across the middle it make it 0!!! Hee Hee Hee...
FOR MY MATH TEAM( especially to Patty, Forrest, Max, and Joey,): Here's to the best competition so far. Be your best and remember the strategies we talk about in class. Good luck in today's meet. If you have a moment to drop me a comment on how it went, do so as I will check in with them from home.
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. CM

Good Wednesday morning,
Today in math class we will be going over the homework (page 183) on ordering and comparing fractions. After a question and answer session, we will move onward to MIXED NUMBERS and IMPROPER FRACTIONS. Just what are these, and when do you use these are a few of the questions we should get to today. We will also go over the POD from yesterday.
For Homework(classwork): pages 188-189 # 12, 14, 19, 24, 30, 31, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 42
You will get the quiz back from this chapter(4.1-4.3) and with that, corrections need to be made on a seperate sheet stapled to the test and then get your parent's signature. This assures communication with your parents on your progress. Most of the time, this is a bragging right for you!
POD: (hard copy found in classroom)A 16 ounce package of shredded cheese costs $3.29. Which is the closest estimate of the cost of 1 ounce of this cheese?
a. $0.02
b. $0.05
c. $ 0.20

Good TUESDAY morning,
Welcome back. Hope you all had a great long weekend for the second week in a row.
In math class, we are off with Fractions again. You never can get enough of FRACTIONS. After a quick review, we will move on with comparing and ordering fractions. What are the particulars you need to know for this, what does comparing mean, and when would you use this?
Homework( classwork) : Pages 183-184 # 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 30, 36, 37, 38-48 all. This seems like a huge amount, but breathe easy, it is fairly simple and you will have a great deal of class time to complete.
The POD:( hard copies are located as you walk in the classroom)
The number 400 is equivalent to which of the following:
a. 5^2 . 2^4
b. (5 .2)^2 . 2^2
c. 5^2 . 2^2 . 2^2
d. All of the above
Pull out the math

On the agenda during tutorial time is another testing of the airports to better prepare us for the upcoming MEAs online coming soon. Hopefully, this will move quicker than the last time. Bring along any book or homework you may have to try and work in between the testing times.
Unless things change, at this time you are to report to your homeroom class for this to happen.
Until tomorrow,

We did it! We got here..... the end of the week. Even with this week being short due to a snowday on Monday, it felt like an eternity to the end for me, you? And before we forget and come in on this Monday, don't. Monday is Martin Luther King Jr Day.
Onto Math: In class today we will be looking over the binders for the quarter. The class will tune into classzone.com on chapter 4 to preview the next section on FRACTIONS: Comparing and Ordering Fractions.
The homework for the weekend will be to think of a practical way in which Math plays a part in your weekend.
The Chuckle for the Day: Mathematician:" There are three types of mathematicians, those who can count and those who can't." Hee Hee Hee....
Have a safe and restful long weekend.

Happy Thursday, burrrrr,
With today's abbreviated schedule due to the chorus concert, we will have shortened class time. We will review the LCM and GCF from the homework last night, and go over the POD!Got that?!
There will be no POD today nor any homework from the textbook, but you are expected to organize your binders. By Friday, they should be in very reasonable shape, organized by homework, tests, and projects by DATES. All papers should be securely fastened in the 3 rings( reinforcements are available here) and there should be nothing in the pockets. Only MATH papers should be included, so clean out any extra stuff. The binders need to pass a "SHAKE" test.
The Chuckle for the Day: What did one math book say to the other?
"Don't bother me, I've got my own problems!" Hee Hee Hee...
Stay tune to the radio or tv tomorrow morning as it has been reported to be another messy morning. If we do have a snow day, that will give us a 4 day weekend!!!! If not, we still have off on Monday as it is Martin Luther King Jr Day.
Always in Math,
Mrs. CM

Welcome back. Hope all of you had a fun packed day yesterday and are ready to start today.
With a quick review over the past vocabulary words(fractions, prime and composite numbers, numerators, denominators, Greatest Common Factor, simplest form) connected with FRACTIONS, we will be off onto LEAST COMMON MULTIPLES(LCM). Not to be confused with the GCF!!! What is the difference? When are they used?
I will be collecting the POD assigned on Friday.
For classwork or homework: Pages 177-178 # 12,15,19,21,27,29,35,37,46--55.
The PROBLEM OF THE DAY: Express each of the following numbers as the product of two numbers, each written in exponential notation.
a. 432
b. 500
c. 1,296
As always, copy the problem down and file this into your project section of your math notebook. 1. Pull out the math 2. Name your strategy 3. What is confusing 4. What is being asked 5. Show your work 6. Box in answers with correct labels
Chuckle of the Day: A father, angry because his teenage daughter has missed her curfew, said, " I told you to be home by a quarter to twelve." The girl responded, " But my math teacher said that 1/4 of 12 is 3. " Hee Hee Hee.....

What a storm. I hope all of you enjoyed the extra day off. It feels like stolen time for me and I spent the day shoveling and holding the chihuahuas. It was fun as I hope you had also.
Until tomorrow, stay warm and safe.

TGIF,
Oh happy day. Today is Friday.
In math class we will be going over Chapter 3 ( from before the Christmas break) and making sure all is set with the data analysis as this is certainly worth reviewing. Also a check in to see if you did your homework with having your parent sign the test.
With the chapter 4 quiz taking longer than expected, we will review both PODs- from today and yesterday. And then off to do some review on classzone.com on FRACTIONS.
If you need to do the chapter 4 quiz, please come in during SSR time today.
The POD for today: MacKenzie is taking a 100 - problem multiple-choice math test. For every problem that she answers correctly, MacKenzie earns 2 points. For every problem that she answers incorrectly, she loses 1 point. If MacKenzie doesn't answer a problem, she neither earns nor loses points. If MacKenzie scores 182 on this test, use the table below to show the 4 possible ways that she could have earned 182 points.

Oh Happy Thursday to all,
Are you ready? Today is the day to strut your stuff and show me what you know about fractions so far. After the quiz, we will go over the POD and move on to another wonderful POD! I know how much you all LOVE these things!! Hopefully after some practice, these PODs will become far easier to endure. Hang in there.
Oh, I forgot to give out the December Homework Pass on the Muffin Morning in December, so that will be done as well. Another "oopies" - Chapter 3 test is still sitting on my desk and not in your hands! These need to go out as well. You need to make corrections( on a separate sheet of paper) and get a parent signature on it by tomorrow. This sounds like homework to me!
Part 2 of the homework: POD - Shannon downloaded 211 songs onto her computer. It took about 42 minutes to download all of these songs. Shannon said each song took an average of about 12 seconds to download. Is Shannon's estimation reasonable? Explain in detail.

Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning,
Today is the day - the 1/2 way through the week!!
In math class today we will continue on with our work on FRACTIONS. We will correct then discuss the homework from last night including the PROBLEM OF THE DAY. We need to make certain that the vocabulary terms are cemented in before there are more added, so we will be taking a small quiz tomorrow. This will cover the chapter 4.1-4.3 sections of the text, Prime and Composite Numbers, Prime Factorization, Factor Trees, Common Factors, Greatest Common Factors, Fractions, Numerators, Denominators, Equivalent Fractions, and Simplest Form. These are all some of the major components of understanding Fractions. Make sure you get all your questions you have answered in class, during tutorial, or early morning.
The PROBLEM OF THE DAY(POD): Bamboo, which is a grass and not a tree, may grow as much as 3 feet a day. At that rate of growth, how many days would it take to grow 10 yards?
Pull out all the math:

Good TUESDAY Morning,
After being out yesterday, today feels like Monday, so help me to remember the difference. Hope all went well yesterday with the sub. Seems like it did. As I was looking at the classwork, I am a bit confused so I will need to go over this with you folks today.
After a review of GCF, we will move onward to EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS. Fractions represent a part of a whole, and equivalent fractions are a way of writing fractions that are just that- Equal. We will review the terms: Numerators(top part of the fraction that represents the part we are talking about), Denominators(bottom part of the fraction that represent the total number of equal parts), Equivalent Fractions as well as Simplest Form( fractions that have a GCF of 1).
The classwork ( homework) for the day will be pages 171-172 # 2,3,6,8,10,12,14,18,23,25,27,34,37,39, 40-50.
The Problem of the Day : How many table tennis tables, measuring 9 feet by 5 feet, would you need to cover a soccer field that is 110 yards by 80 yards?

Good Monday Morning,
I hope your weekend was packed with fun and activities and you all returned safely. I am out today as I am not feeling well, but as always, please be very respectful for the substitute. I am sure that you will as you always have done so in the past. I do plan on being here on Tuesday.
Please review the GCF. This is helpful in simplifying fractions where you find the largest shared factor of both the numerator and denominator. Please continue onward with this section of the text and do the first 2 problems of each section of the section review in this section of GCF's. I am not sure of the pages as I am home without the benefit of a book here, but I will call and clear up this assignment. But before you begin with the class work(homework if not completed), please discuss the Problem of the Day from Friday. What I would like to have covered is the vocabulary (inequalities), and the wordy way the problem is stated, and of course, the answer. There is no Problem of the Day for today, but this will resume upon my return.
If time allows in math class or tutorial, please continue on with classzone.com for chapter 4.
I will need 4 volunteers to help out with collecting the returnable bottles and cans at lunch in the cafe and outside the gym and office. Just drop off the bags of bottles inside the recycling cans and snap the lids on tightly and I will clean these up tomorrow. Please make this happen easily for the sub.
Also, in my absence, I do want your daily classroom jobs to be performed as if I was there. Thank you all in advance for being such great kids.
Until tomorrow,
Mrs. Charle McAtee

TGIF,
We made it - it's Friday. Oh happy day.
In math class today we will go over the homework on PRIME FACTORIZATION, PRIME and COMPOSITE numbers. After class discussion on this, we will move onto GREATEST COMMON FACTORS(GCF). The greatest common factor is just that - when there are at least 2 numbers, the GCF is the largest factor that is shared with both numbers. This will be used in fractions to simplify them. So guess what? This is all leading to working with fractions in the very near future.
Please work on the problem of the day . Copy the problem down, show all work and keep these in your math binders in the project section.
6,542,150 < ______________
Which of the following numbers, when inserted into the above inequality, would make the inequality true?
a. 6,134,955
b.6,467,760
c.6,691,045
d.6,373,225
There is no homework, but as always, work on classzone.com for Chapter 4 to practice and review instruction.
Have a great and safe weekend.

Good Thursday morning to all,
As you can see, I am not in class today, but I am in the building in a math meeting. I expect you to continue to do your best in my absence this morning for the substitute.
Today in math class we will correct the homework from yesterday covering PRIME and Composite Numbers, Prime Factorization, Factor Trees and the like on the pages 159-160. If at any point there remains any questions, feel free to ask for clarification.
I would like you to continue on with these math topics today and work on pages 159-161 #17,25,27,30,34,43,50,52,59,61,62,63,67 in class and finish up as homework. If time allows, go onto classzone and work on chapter 4 in the eworkbook or animations.
If you are the student who has not taken the Chapter 3 test on Data Analysis, I would like you to do so today during tutorial time with the sub. if at all possible.
Have a nice day and think about the math in your day that surrounds you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY. Again, I was expecting a day off or at least an hour delay, so I am a bit groggy from the long break, but none the less, it is nice to be back. Hope you all feel the same.
Getting back to math class, we reviewed Chapter 3 on Data Analysis with the focus on the different types of graphs: line graphs, bars graphs, stem and leaf plot graphs, box and whisker plot graphs, and histograms, and when do we use the particular graphs to organize information in a meaningful manner.
Then onward to Chapter 4 with an overview on FRACTIONS. Before we actually start fractions, we start off with today's lesson on PRIME and COMPOSITE NUMBERS. A prime number is a number that only has itself and 1 as factors(ex: 7 7 * 1) where a composite number has more factors than itself and 1(ex: 9 9*1 3*3 ). After a quick review of these two terms, we jumped right into Prime Factorization using factor trees and getting numbers down to the prime factors. Does this ring a bell from last year?
For classwork to be finished off as homework, we did page 159-161 # 8,9,16,17,19,26,28,29,32,35,53,58. As always, you must have a complete headings, write down the problems, show all work and then box in answers in a neat fashion on your paper. Add a comment to the top of the page on how you feel the work is. And before you go berserk, the work is fairly easy and more than anything, a review from last year. So thank your last year's teacher for doing a great job covering this objective.
FYI: Extra help is available early mornings, tutorial times, and after school.
