Integers!!

Learning about Integers and words that indicate positive and negative numbers. Very easy classwork/homework. Some students need to redo or do the back of the candy corn fraction, decimal, percent page. Please know that if your child says "I don't get it" that is not accurate. We take notes and do many, many examples before I send something home. Thank you!
Students had a front and back page and a page very much like the one for class/homework that we did together today on Integers.
Warm-ups are on Purple paper for this week and they should have Monday completed, some did not today when we checked it. Tuesday should be done as well.  They also have a Starfish color Fraction, Decimal, Percent page since last Friday that is due this Friday.

sweet conversions quiz

Students have a fraction, decimal, percent paper that has a front and back. This is a quiz but they can use notes in journal and I went over this again in class with them. We spent a couple of days last week on how to do this and they are not looking at their notes or the board to process the steps. Please make sure they complete the quiz and feel free to help them with the steps.

FDP, Fraction, Decimal, Percent

We took notes on converting Fractions, to Decimals, to Percent, to Fractions today. We worked the front of the chart together, 15 examples, and students need to finish the back of the chart. Any problems not finished are homework. They are struggling but I let them know they needed to work the examples WITH me so they would understand what to do. This is NOT on our test Friday.

If students bring home a paper they did not finish, I made a mistake in reading #11a- it was combined tax of $3 for the cds.

Students have notes over the order of operations and a two pages of "pizza slice" steps of order of operations that we did together. Students need to solve one step at a time and bring down the problem until they have the answer.  Students had a set of problems to finish in class and it was homework if they did not finish. Some may also have a Prime Factorization Quiz they did not finish in class.
