Because I believe it is very important to rest and integrate what you've learned, I am not assigning much math homework over the break:
6th grade - Those of you who still have the RADAR report to do, need to get it to me as soon as possible. DH - you have until Sunday evening to get me your story. ( I am really looking forward to it!)
Algebra - Be sure you feel confident on what you have done so far this year. PLEASE come to me or your parents if you are feeling unsure about any skill. Because this course builds on itself in a way that you haven't met yet in your studies, you need to have a solid foundation. I am feeling good about what you have learned so far. I want you to take this school break to integrate what you have learned. Do the mixed review after 4.3 - if you haven't already.
If you have time and desire to do so, and an internet connection, work in IXL for 100 minutes total over the break. You may choose your topic in Algebra or Geometry.
ZF and EK - work through the textbook examples of 4.4 and make sure you KNOW slope so well that you could describe it to an alien. Do a few of the guided practice questions to prove to yourself that you know it.
Geometry - Keep up your steady progress through Chapter 5. You are doing well.
We need to spend more time following through on your great ideas. We need to find ways to meet this standard:
Make geometric constructions
12. Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods GIP - 6th graders read as far as you can in "A Wrinkle in Time". Come to class on December 2 prepared to discuss the tessaract.
Spelling BEE: no homework
Congratulations on a job swell done this Trimester.
See you next month!
