This week we are wrapping up exponents, with positive and negative bases, and then reviewing Order of Operations. The students will then participate in activities to reinforce simplifying expressions by using the Order of Operations (GEMDAS). A quiz is planned for later in the week (Thursday or Friday depending on how well the students perform in class). The quiz will cover parts A and B of the study guide. The Unit 3 study guide will go home on Tuesday so students may use it as a means of preparing for the quiz. After quizzing, I will teach the parts of an expression and how to write algebraic expressions. Notes for these concepts can be found in the students' spiral notebooks.
Students should be spending at least 30 per week logging into their Study Island accounts and completing the review lessons I have assigned. As lessons are completed with at least an 85%, students earn blue ribbons. Students earning the most amount of blue ribbons by the end of April will participate in a pizza/ice cream party. Working in Study Island is a weekly requirement.
Semester exams will be given on December 18th and 19th with the 20th being a 1/2 day for the students. More information concerning the testing schedule will be given as I am given the specifics from the front office. I will also post specifics concerning the exam.
