TIDBITS:
Happy Face Math
I don't know why COMMENTS aren't working :(
I hope to get this figured out soon.
6th grade math:
MONDAY: (4/7 - in class) Bits & Pieces III - INVESTIGATION 3
TRIANGLE QUESTION:
GIVEN: We are given that the area of the triangle is the same as the area of the rectangle.
KNOWN: The area of the rectangle is 4.32 cm^2 (3.6cm x 1.2cm).
THEREFORE: The area of the triangle is 4.32 cm^2.
FORMUA: The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2(bh).
GIVEN: The base of this triangle is 3.84
SOLVE: We need to solve for n.
We know that 4.32 cm^2 = 1/2 (3.84cm x n)
also can be written as 4.32 cm^2 = (3.84n)cm^2/2 (that is, everything divided by 2)
therefore, (4.32 cm^2)x2 = (3.84n)cm^2 (this gets rid of the 'divide by 2' on this side)
and 8.64 cm^2 = (3.84n)cm^2
next we can divide both sides by 3.84 cm to isolate n
8.64 cm^2 / 3.84cm = (3.84n)cm^2 / 3.84 cm
2.25 cm = n
So n= 2.25 cm
You guys worked HARD on this question!
TUESDAY: (4/8 - independent work) Bits & Pieces III - INVESTIGATION 4

Then DO THIS
WEDNESDAY: (4/9 - independent work) Bits & Pieces III - INVESTIGATION 4
I will be at the 4th - and final - day of that Complex Thinking Workshop. You will need to stay in your classrooms and work independently.
THURSDAY: (4/10 - in class) Bits & Pieces III - INVESTIGATION 4
FRIDAY: (4/11 - independent work) based on BITS & PIECES III - finding percentages
IXL work:
Sixth grade AA.17 Find what percent one number is of another
Sixth grade AA.18 Find what percent one number is of another: word problems
Seventh grade L.7 Find the percent: tax, discount, and more
Fifth grade V.12 Compare percentages
Eighth grade J.3 Find what percent one number is of another
Algebra:
MONDAY: (4/7 - in class) Chapter 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3
HW - from 8.2: q. 43, 44, 45
TUESDAY: (4/8 - independent work) Section 8.3
HW - read pp. 509-10 do q. 1, 4, 7, 10
do . 5111 q. 2
Talk to me if the work from 8.2 is overwhelming. Normally, students would spend WEEKS in this, but we are accelerated.
WEDNESDAY: (4/9 - independent work) Section 8.4 - Scientific Notation and introduction to Section 8.5 - Exponential Functions
I will be at the 4th - and final - day of that Complex Thinking Workshop. You will need to stay in your classrooms and work independently.
read pp. 512-14
do graphing calculator questions in Desmos p. 519 q.1, 3, 5
WATCH this KHAN ACADEMY VIDEO to get ready for Exponential Growth and the concept of "The nth"
Then watch THIS KHAN ACADEMY VIDEO to examine the differences between linear and exponential functions
THURSDAY: (4/10 - in class) Section 8.5 - Exponential Functions
You have your resource packets. Work on those assigned questions for Monday.
FRIDAY: (4/11 - independent work) Section 8.6 - Exponential Functions
On the weekend, make sure you review Chapter 3, 4, & 5 for cumulative exam: go through the textbook. Reread the definitions, look at the Solved Examples at the beginning of each Section . Make note of any new CONTENT (as in, we didn't cover it or you forgot it) - content, not exercises. For example, if we didn't do a technology exercise, but it uses content you are familiar with, don't note this as being something to work on. Make sense? If not, write to me and I will get back to as soon as possible. I should be able to get back to you fairly quickly tomorrow. Go as far as you reasonably can. There is NO expectation that you will get through to the end of Chapter 5. Do not rush yourself. Do a thorough review, but don't dwell on things you know.
Monday we will continue with Exponential Functions and rational expressions with exponents.
Geometry:
MONDAY: (4/7 - in class) - Chapter 12
TUESDAY: (4/8 - independent work) - - Chapter 12
WEDNESDAY: 4/9 - independent work) - Chapter 12
