VanDrisse's Journey

Classwork: You took the unit 2 test – you’ll have 30 minutes on Thursday to make test corrections to regain some of the points back (if you lost any )

Homework: NONE )

Classwork: We continued our review of the unit 2 concepts. We went through the correct answers for all of the review questions, and we worked through any that your questioned.

Homework: STUDY….STUDY…..STUDY…..for tomorrow’s unit 2 test (divisibility, prime/composite, prime factorization, GCF, & LCM). Be sure to review the definitions and examples I included on your study guide which you received last Thursday.

Classwork:

• You took your second warm-up quiz…..grades are in I-Parent, so take a look if you’re curious ) Great Job!
• We began our review of unit 2 concepts…..study your study guide over the weekend, and be ready to continue the activity on Monday. We’ll go through the correct answers on Monday after you’ve had some time to finish working the problems. If you’ve forgotten how to do something, please refer back to you assignments, check the blog for the power points, go to the online textbook for extra practice, and study your study guide!

Homework:

1. Study for Tuesday’s Unit 2 Test
2. Get ready for OLYMPICS~~~~~GO TEAM AUSTRALIA…..WEAR YOUR NAVY BLUE, RED, AND WHITE AND COME WITH GREAT SPIRIT AND SPORTSMANSHIP SO WE EARN POINTS!

Classwork:

• As usual, we checked homework and went through the problems you may have gotten incorrect
• I reminded you there is a warm-up quiz tomorrow…..be sure all of your warm-ups are up-to-date so you’re ready for the quiz!
• We discussed Monday morning’s Unit 2 review session…..if you want to attend, please write a pass that states "Math Help – 8:15" on the bottom of Monday, Sept. 29’s agenda page and get me to sign it for you.
• You rotated through stations today solving word problems which required you to decide whether you where to find the GCF or the LCM in order to solve the problem. I’ve uploaded the power point with the problems and answers so you can practice if you want.
• Download gcf_lcm_word_problems.ppt 

Homework:

1. "You are the Teacher! Give "Em Homework!" half sheet……you may answer on the back of the half sheet
2. Unit 2 Test on Tuesday, Sept. 30
3. Warm-up Quiz #2 Tomorrow

Homework:

2. Unit 2 Test on Tuesday, Sept. 30
3. Warm-up Quiz #2 Tomorrow

Classwork:

• We went through yesterday’s quiz to make sure everyone knew how to solve the problems the correct way. You should receive your quizzes back tomorrow, but you did get to see the grade today, and everyone should now know their weak area in Unit 2…..be sure to study the concepts you missed on the quiz before Tuesday’s test
• We went through numerous examples of LCM on the board, and most of you seem very comfortable with the idea of multiples. Please remember to show your work, because sometimes what you think is the least (or first) multiple that two or three numbers have in common is actually not the answer, and there is a multiple that comes before your original thought…..so show your work!
• You had a lot of homework time today with 15 – 20 minutes, so be sure if you have extra time tonight to go back and refresh yourself on prime factorization, GCF, or whatever other concept is your weak spot in Unit 2 (see the previous blogs for power points which have additional help).

Homework:

1. Thick workbook – page 125
2. Unit  2 Test – Tuesday, Sept. 30
3. Warm-up Quiz – Friday (it’s nothing you can study for, but be sure you have all ten warm-ups with you for the quiz)

Classwork:

• We went through numerous examples from last night’s homework together
• You took the prime & composite, prime factorization, and GCF quiz
• You had time to work on your homework…..if you didn’t get it completely, don’t worry, we’re going to go over it in class tomorrow
• Here is the Least Common Multiples (LCM) power point in case you want to learn how to do it or want extra practice   Download 1CH5L1.ppt

Homework: Be sure you look at the correct class period for your assignment…..

• Periods 1, 2, & 4: Thick workbook page 124
• Period 3: 4 factor problems which were on a slip of paper
  ALL CLASSES – UNIT 2 TEST WILL BE GIVEN NEXT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. IT WILL ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING:
  A. DIVISBILITY
  B. PRIME AND COMPOSITE NUMBERS
  C. PRIME FACTORIZATION (USING EXPONENTS)
  D. FACTORS AND GREATEST COMMON FACTORS
  E. MULTIPLES AND LEAST COMMON MULTIPLES

There will be a couple of GCF word problems on tomorrow’s quiz (like the ones we did in class). You can download the power point we used in class if you want extra practice (the answers are on the slide which follows the question).

Download gcf_word_problems.ppt 

Classwork:

• We reviewed some of you homework problems
• We discussed another way to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)of two or more numbers….the double or triple ladder! See the online book or the previous blog posting’s power point for help if you need it…..many of you said it was easier than what we did on Friday!
• Remember, the GCF cannot be larger than any of the numbers you started with…..the GCF is the largest number which will go into all of the given numbers evenly (all numbers must be divisible by the GCF).
• We practiced some word problems together using dry erase boards…..if the word problem asks you to find the GREATEST number of something, you’re going to find the GCF of the given numbers.

Homework:

1. Quiz Tuesday – It will address prime & composite, prime factorization, factors, and greatest common factors (GCF)
2. Thick workbook – page 92 – Do the prime numbers only plus #20
