Apologies for not posting last week!
Math 7 Honors: I will have the Morehouse group (M, W, F) and the Vassar group (T and Th). As always, there will be homework assigned (Yes...even on Halloween!) We have a test on Monday/Tuesday about Solving One-Step, Two-Step, and Multi-step equations as well as combining like terms. We continue our work with real world problems and how to write them algebraically. Stuff like...
"Jalani rents speakers for a party. He needs to leave a $100 deposit and pay $15 per hour that he rents them" Write an algebraic expression to describe the cost of the speaker rental. (Answer: 100 + 15h). We will also be graphing the equations.
Math 7: I will have the Harvard group (M, W, F) and the Columbia group (T and Th). As always, there will be homework assigned (Did you think that I wouldn't give it for the Halloween Weekend?..HA!). We have a quiz on adding integers, absolute value, and number lines on Monday/Tuesday. We will continue our work with subtraction of integers. This is probably one of the hardest things we will work on this year. If the scholars get this we will be golden. There is a video link for addition and subtraction of integers. There are also practice problems there. The only way to get good at them is to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Week of October 6th- 9th.
Surpise...in math class we are doing the RCSD benchmark testing. It is comprised of two one-hour exams. It is designed to give an idea of how well scholars would do if they took the NYS 7th grade test today instead of March. Originally we were going to take it in homebase but we took it during Math class instead.
Beyond the test, Ms. Drake tried to sneak in some lessons:
Math 7 Honors (Vassar and Morehouse): We played around with algebra tiles and solved two-step equations. Scholars had a take home test that was due on Monday/Tuesday.
Math 7 (Columbia and Harvard): We played around with integer chips and began working on adding integers.
There is a quiz on Wednesday/Thursday
Everyone should have handed in there binder and made up any make up tests/work by now. The first marking period ends on October 17th!
