Week of August 27th

This week we are continuing our study of decimals. Students will participate in a variety of activities in order to practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. A quiz over decimals will be given early next week. I have posted a decimal practice packet  under extra practice that students can use in addition to their study guides to prepare for the quiz.

On Thursday and Friday of this week, students will take the first round of the math MAPS assessment. This is a test taken three times during the year to measure growth over the course of the school year. Students do not need to do anything special at home to prepare.

This week and next during Jag Academy, I am training students in Office 365 and Microsoft One Note. Once trained, students will be able to use their school account and email to access their class notebook. Logging into One Note, allows students to have access to the math spiral and daily warm ups at home. Directions for accessing One Note are taped in the students' spirals as well as on the rubic posted under the helpful documents tab.

The GCF/LCM quiz from last week was handed back on Friday. We spent time as a class going over the entire quiz and correcting missed problems. I also discussed my expectations with students concerning the importance of always showing their work and thought process. Your child has this quiz in the quiz section of their binder if you would like to go over it with your child.

All grades have been posted to Infinite Campus for you to see. If you have not set an account up for your child, please click on the link under the helpful documents tab above. Grades will be updated as they are taken in class.

This week we have been finishing up using GCF to rewrite a problem in the distributive property format. A short pop assessment was given today. This will be returned on Wednesday for the kids to see.

We will spend the remainder of the week adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. Students will have notes and examples in their spiral notebooks.

I hope to see everyone at Open House on Thursday from 6:00 - 7:30.

This week we are continuing to review GCF and LCM using the listing and ladder strategies. The first quiz is planned for Wednesday the 15th. Your child has notes and practice problems in their math spirals and binders to assist them with studying. Helpful math websites are also posted on this site. As for the study guide, your child should be working to complete all of Part B. Once complete, they may check their answers with the key posted here to Weebly.

Open House is scheduled for Thursday, August 23rd at 6:00. If your child is on the Cool Cat's team, please join us at 5:00 in the media center for our 6th grade gifted spring field trip kick off. Stephen Purvis, a representative from Kelly Tours, will be here to go over our exciting overnight trip planned for May. If your child is in Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Yeager, or Ms. Gutierrez's homeroom they are on team Cool Cats.

Let me begin by saying that we have gotten off to a wonderful start in AC math this year, and a HUGE thanks to those of you who donated supplies. It is GREATLY appreciated!!!  We are currently in unit 1 (Number Sense Fluency). In this unit we cover:

  • operations with decimals
  • factors/multiples 
  • GCF/LCM
  • Distributive property
  • Dividing Fractions (algorithm)
  • Converting fractions to decimals
 
The students were given their study guides for unit 1 on Wednesday. This is to be completed over the course of unit 1 (approx. 5-6 weeks). I have instructed the students to begin now and complete a few problems each night, as concepts are covered, so that it doesn’t become overwhelming.  Study guides will always be assigned at the beginning of a unit and be due the day before the unit test. I don’t have an exact date for the unit 1 test at this time, but I will let you and the students know an exact date as the time draws closer. The study guide is also located under the study guide tab in case your child loses theirs and needs to print another one. I have also posted the answers to the study guide, so students may check their understanding while working and preparing for quizzes during the course of the unit. This will also allow students the opportunity to ask me questions along the way if needed. Since answers are posted, all work must be included. 

Homework is now being assigned, so check your child’s agenda nightly to help ensure that they are prepared for class the next day. Homework is worth five points and is graded for completion. 
 
This week we are reviewing prime and composite numbers, factors, and multiples in order to calculate greatest common factors and least common multiples. Notes for these topics can be found in the students' math spirals.
  
I will post updates here on a regular basis, so be sure to check weekly to stay current on what is going on in AC math. We also have a team weebly site that can be accessed for further information.

I know this is a lot of information at once, so if you have questions please don't hesitate to email. Thanks for  a great start!


Don't forget open house is on August 23rd from 6:00-7:30.
