Today we are finishing up the 3rd 9 weeks.
7th and 8th graders have been reviewing this week for their 9 weeks test.
They took the test on yesterday.
6th graders reviewed for a test today.  They will take the test on Monday.
5th graders worked on review sheets while Mrs. Wheelhouse helped students
who are struggling with finding the Greatest Common Factors and reducing fractions.
We are all hoping that the winter weather is coming to an end and looking forward to spring.

What We Learned in Math Class Today

The 7th graders worked on using unit multipliers and proportions convert units of measurement.  They were able to work more of the story problems on their own today (Hurrah for them!!)
The 6th graders learned about the cirumferences of circles and how to use Pi (3.14) to find the circumference of numbers.
The 8th graders reviewed how to multiply and divide mixed numbers.  They then explored roots of numbers.
Mariah and Chancey thought it was cool that they could use prime factorization to find the roots of numbers.
In the 5th grade today, we learned how to average numbers.  Tyra and Sami that it was fun to find the average by adding and then dividing.
Everyone was glad it was Friday!

Today in 7th grade math class we worked on changing fractions to decimals, decimals to fractions and fractions and decimals to percents.  After I gave the assignment, Adi said but you have to help us with the
first seven story problems!!  Desi thought the lesson was shorter than usual but most of the students finished
before the end of the period.
Both the 8th graders and 6th graders had math tests.
In 8th grade, we learned how to solve equations that had symbols of inclusion in them.  Mariah thought that this was fun.
In 5th grade, we learned to solve 2 step story problems.  They were all happy that they did not have math homework!
