Boggess’ Wonders

Today in class we finished working the measurement stations.

Tomorrow is our Unit 6A post test. Study all the information on the orange study guide.

Today in class we worked on stations that allow groups to practice all that we have learned in Unit 4; measuring with a ruler, converting between units, and choosing an appropriate unit of measure.

The homework tonight is to study for the unit post test which will be on Thursday.   Tomorrow we will continue to review during the station work.  Students should know how to measure using inches and centimeters,  convert between units using “the box” and king henry died by drinking chocolate milk (metric), and choose appropriate units of measure, for example a small car would be measured in tons.

Today in class we worked on word problems involving customary measurement conversions.  We also practiced measuring with rulers.

This weekend’s homework is a worksheet involving metric conversions.  Students should use the acronym King Henry Died by Drinking Chocolat Milk (KHDbDCM)  the by is either meter, liter or grams.  This worksheet will be taken for a homework grade

Today in class we reviewed converting with customary measurement.  We also began converting metric measurements.

Tonight’s homework is in the THIN workbook page 77.  There are 10 word problems involving converting customary measurements.  Each one is to be done by setting up “the box”.

Today in class we learned how to convert between U.S. Customary Units.  Students were taught how to set up proportions using “the box”. 

Tonight’s homework is a worksheet requiring students to convert between customary measurements.  Do all 10 questions.

Today in class we practiced measuring with a ruler to the nearest sixteenth, half, eighth, and forth. 

Homework is in the Thick workbook page 292.  Measure all with an inch ruler.

Today we began a new unit on Measurement and converting measurement.

The homework is a worksheet on reading a ruler.  There are 5 problems, do all 5.

Today in class we reviewed the homework on expressions and tables.

Also today in class we did test corrections on the Unit 4 test we took yesterday.  Students were to describe what they did wrong and then correct.  They were able to use their study guide, their text book, and their work text book.  These tests and their correction sheet will be available to review during parent/teacher conference week.

No homework tonight as there will be a substitute in first and second period.

Today we took the Unit 4 Post Test.  This test covered one step equations and order of operations. 

Homework tonight is in the Thick workbook, page 17.  There are 8 problems.  6 are tables, 2 are word problems.  Do all 8.

Friday there will be a substitute for first and second period.  Students will work on reviewing the next unit which is on Line Symmetry and Rotational Symmetry.  There will be no homework.

Today we did a classwork grade practicing one step equations.

Every student was given a 3 page Study Guide.  They are to work this study guide this weekend and on Tuesday we will review for our unit test which is on Wednesday.  They should work the study guide to see what questions or problems they are having; this will help with the review.

Unit test is on Wednesday January 20.
