2.  Today we turned in and reviewed the cross section drawings of the cylinder, cone, cube, rectanglur pyramid.  Thanks to Trevor for pointing out a misunderstanding that some of you had about parallel to the base and perpendicular to the base.  Remember parallel doesn’t necessarily mean horizontal.  It depends which way the solid is sitting to decide if the cross section is parallel or pependicular to the base. 

We discussed in our power point yesterday that parallel means it will never intersect and perpendicular means it forms right angles.  Sometimes parallel could be vertical and not horizontal.  Don’t get confused about this.  

This is a perfect example of why it is so beneficial to ask questions in class.  There were a few people that had the same question and they were also helped by the question.  Thanks, Trevor! 

Be sure to take the small diagnostic test on USA Test prep.

2.  Today we reviewed translations and rotations of 2-d figures to get 3-d figures.  We also discussed the shape of the cross sections of different 3-d figures.

Be sure to practice the drawings for all of these.  Today’s power point is on the M7G4 page.

2.  Today we viewed an awesome power point on transformations through space, changing 2-D figures to 3-3 figures.  I’ll attach the power point to the M7G4 page this week.

3.  Be sure to practice sketching the 3-d figures.  Remember sketching is part of this standard.  Also complete the Lesson 46 worksheet.

Have a great evening !

2.  Today we began the M7G4 standard.  This is the last new standard we will cover this year.  Remember the review category for this nine-week grading period counts 60% of your overall grade. 

Be sure to review the power point we discussed today.  We’ll start translating 2-D figures tomorrow to create 3-D figures.

2.  Today we took the indirect measurement test.  I will grade these next week.  I’m working to finalize grades this weekend.  Remember we have just begun the last nine weeks of the school year.  It’s your opportunity to start fresh and complete all assignments.  Missing assignments really pull down your overall average.  So set a goal of getting all assignments completed and turned in. 

Enjoy your weekend !

2.  Today we took the review quiz using the senteo remote controls.  I will try to post these grades tonight, except period 6.  We had technical difficulty during this class, so we’ll fix this tomorrow.

Be sure to study for the test tomorrow. 

I will be entering a few more grades this weekend so the grades in math are not yet finalized.  They will be finalized by Monday morning at 8:00 a.m.

2.  We have a review quiz tomorrow.  Be sure your notebook is organized and has all the necessary notes and warm-ups included because it is an open notebook quiz.  Look over the indirect measurement homework we’ve been working on as well as the warm ups from this week.  (If you can’t find some of your notes, you can always print them from the blog. Just use the pages to the right.)

3.  Our test over indirect measurement will be Friday.  Most of you did great on last night’s homework, the usual mistakes were multiplication and division, not setting the problem up correctly.  We practiced how to write out the problem today on notebook paper so you are not making calculation errors by trying to squeeze work into small spaces on your worksheets.

Enjoy your afternoon off !

2.  We are continuing to practice indirect measurement.  Most of you seem to have a good understanding of this concept.  We practiced interpreting the diagrams/pictures for indirect measurement today to set up the proportion and solve.  If you were not able to finish in class, be sure to finish practice A and B for homework.

Enjoy your evening !

2.  Today we reviewed the graded quiz and indirect measurement.  Many of you found your mistakes on the quiz and realized what you did wrong.  Don’t forget we will have a test Friday over indirect measurement and an open note review quiz on Thursday. 

If you were absent today, you need to be sure to turn in the group work we did on Thursday. 

Have a great evening !

2.  Today we took the M7G3 quiz.  Remember so far I only have two grades in the M7G3 category, so until I get more grades entered into that category this quiz counts 10% of your overall grade.  That will change as soon as I enter more grades for the M7G3 category. 

Overall, the quizzes we not great.  Each year I teach seventh grade math I find this is such a hard concept for seventh graders to grasp.  I’ll continue to include some of these problems in our warm ups, and you also need to continue to learn those rules. 

We began indirect measurement today, which most of you are very familiar with.  As students finished the quiz you had time to work on the indirect measurement packet.  Please remember you do not need to do the entire packet for homework.  We complete the first page (page 154) together and most of the second page (page 155).  Number one on page 156 is missing the length of the shadow, so you don’t have enough information to answer that one, so you just need to complete page 155 and page 156.  This is a total of seven problems. 

Also remember in order to receive full credit you need to draw a simple picture for #3-6.  No need to spend a lot of time on the drawings.  I gave you an example of how simple I want here.  The purpose is just to have a diagram to help you answer the questions.  I’m not grading your artwork.

Have a great weekend !
