VanDrisse's Journey

Classwork:

• Checked classwork from the Friday before Thanksgiving break
• You took the first common  fraction, decimal, and percent timed drill of the week…..be sure to work on memorizing those facts
• We quickly reviewed the order of operations, and we started your homework sheet together! Be sure to substitute first, then follow the order of operations to solve   Order of Ops & Substitution HW

Homework:

1. Worksheet – both sides…DO NOT DO #18 ON PAGE 80
2. Order of Operations quiz tomorrow
3. Study for this week’s skills drill….you made an index card weeks ago, and you were told you would have timed drills on these facts

I was not in school today, but here is what you should’ve done )

Classwork:

• You checked last night’s homework from thin workbook page 4
• You received an Order of Operations crossword and worksheet you were to complete
• You also should’ve received a half sheet for order of operations….this sheet was a little more difficult; some problems had fractions and decimals combined, and a multi-step word problem. You were to try and do your best and get as far as you could be the end of class

Homework:

1. Skills Drills when you return will be the common fraction, decimal, and percent equivalents. You made an index card with these on, and you should be reviewing them for the skills drills when we return.
2. Eat plenty, have fun, and get plenty of rest…..we’ll get unit 4 completed before winter break!

Classwork:

• You received your unit 3B test back if you finished in class yesterday, and we went through the answers to make sure everything was graded properly
• You wrote notes for Order of Operations and did the Order of Operations Hopscotch
• On your notes, we did multiple examples, but I’ve attached the ntoes in case you need them   Order of Operations Notes
• You had the rest of class to work on your homework

Homework: Thin workbook page 4

Classwork: You had the entire class period to wok on the test

* If you did not finish in class today, I encourage you to come in my room during homeroom to finish up the test so you don’t miss any of our Order of Operations lesson activity tomorrow

Homework: NONE

Classwork:

• You received your “Order’s Up” task back today and could ask questions about your grade
• You also received your percent quiz back from yesterday to see how well you did and to straighten out any confusion before tomorrow’s test
• We checked the review worksheet
• For the remainder of class we played mathketball to review for tomorrow’s test. The review questions we used today are posted on yesterday’s blog if you want to review any of the problems or see what the problems might be like on tomorrow’s test.

Homework: Study for tomorrow’s Unit 3B test (ratios, proportions, conversion of fractions, decimals, & percents, and calculating tax, tip, and discount)

If you want to get a head start on tomorrow’s review questions for the review game, you can practice from the attached power point  Unit 3B Review

Classwork:

• We checked Friday’s homework
• You took the Percent Quiz
• When you turned in your quiz, you also picked a reivew sheet which addresses ratios, proportions, and converting fractions, decimals, and percents. The sheet does not address tax, tip, discount, or percent of a number. These concepts were on today’s quiz, so they should be pretty fresh in your mind.
• You had the remainder of class to work on your homework

Homework:

1. Review worksheet – both sides
2. Study for Wednesday’s Unit 3B test

Just a reminder I am having a test review session Monday morning at 8:00 A.M. I will go to the theater at that time to get everyone who wants to attend the review! Have a great weekend!

Classwork:

• We went through the practice test (remember, this was just an overview of test concepts…there will be more problems on the test and more word problems)
• You had the remainder of the class period ( 35-40 minutes) to work on the homework assignment and to ask questions, get help, etc.

Homework:

1. Percent Worksheet – entire side of “What’s the Title of This Picture?” and 4 of the 8 problems on the “Riddle Math” side. Use your study guide, your blue half sheet, or any other assignments we’ve completed to help you with this sheet if needed
2. Percent quiz – Monday
3. Unit 3B test – Wednesday

Classwork:

• You took the last timed division drill after the homework check today
• You worked either with a partner or in a group of three to complete the “Order’s Up” task. You had to choose an appetizer, entree, drink, and dessert from one of the menus your group received. You then had to calculate your total with 7% tax. After all of your group members were finished, you then added everyone’s totals to get your group total. From there your group was given a discount percent and tip percent. Your group was to work together to calculate the total after discount, then after tip.
• If any time remained for your group you could work on your homework

Homework:

1. “Practice Test” worksheet….this is not everything that will be on the test, but it will give you some ideas of what the problems might look like next Wednesday
2. Percents Quiz – Monday
3. Unit 3B (ratios, proportions, fractions, decimals, and percents) test – Wednesday
