📝Work due by end of day on Friday, 3/20:
👉9.1.1 #10,14,16,18,21. I will be posting answers but not solutions. I will help you during office hours on Thursday if you still cannot figure out how to solve a problem from homework. For full credit on the homework, I will need to see all work done.

📷Take clear pictures of any/all homework pages with your name on each and submit them here. (Since this is our first day trying out digital learning, I may update this post by adding/removing problems depending on how much we get through together and the feedback of those of you on the video call.)

Today we started learning about how to compare data plots/diagrams (see notes). We also started working on how to make sure a sample is representative (see notes). Homework is to do 8.1.2 #25,26,28 & 8.2.1 #35,36,38.

Today we went over Mean, Median, and Mode. We also looked at four different ways to show the spread of data (box plots, dot plot, histograms, and stem-and-leaf plots. We looked at the IQR and the MAD and discussed when each might be best used. See notes if you missed class! Homework is to finish the worksheet that was passed out in class (also attached).

Students were handed out a study guide today. I have attached the solutions so that students can see what appropriate answers look like. Homework is to complete the study guide and Chapter 7 Review sheet (handed out last class). Both will be collected next class. The beta is next class! Please make sure to come in and get support if you need help. Lunch is better than ELT, as I am still working on reperformances for the last beta.

Today you got back and reviewed your LT Practice #1 with your partner. Make sure you make corrections because this will be part of what you need to study for the beta next Thursday. Chapter 7 Review Worksheet was handed out. Make sure you correct your answers so you know if you are doing them correctly. Come see me at lunch or during ELT's if you need help on any of it! Finish the Illuminate test if you didn't get a chance to do so in class (the answer to number 7 is C). Review the answers you got incorrect. The solutions will be posted next class. You will need to work on these for the beta. Homework is to complete the review worksheet and begin your studying.

Today we worked on finding missing numbers in proportional relationships. For example, if a snail travels 6.2 cm in 8 minutes, how far does he travel in 10 minutes? This could be solve using any of the strategies we came up with in class (see notes). Homework is to do 7.2.1 #101,102,104 & 7.2.2 #112-115.
We are having our beta next Thursday the 5th of March. Friday we will review this chapter and take an individual LT Practice #2 on what we've covered this chapter. Tuesday we will review the previous chapters (5 and 6) to make sure you are ready for questions from those chapters. Homework for those days will be review sheets/study guides.

Today we reviewed how to set up and solve inequality word problems. We also discussed simple interest and how to find it using the formula "I is pretty" (I=PRT). See notes for more information. Students also took a partner LT Practice. They were allowed to use notes, which helped those who have been taking notes. Homework is to do 7.1.8 #90-94. There are 52 weeks in one year (problem 90).

Today we talked about how to solve equations by fraction busting. We also went over how to figure out the percent of increase or decrease. Notes on fraction busting are also attached. Homework is to do 7.1.6 #70-72 & 7.1.7 #80,81.

Today we learned about how to deal with fractions in equations (see notes). Homework is to do 7.1.4 #45,46,49 & 7.1.5 #58-61.

Today we learned how to find any percents of numbers (see notes). Homework is to do 7.1.2 #22,23,25 & 7.1.3 #33,34,36.

Today we went over how to create and solve linear inequalities (see notes). Students also took an Illuminate LT Practice on Inequalities (see attachment for solutions). Homework is to STUDY for the best which is next class (Weds). "Don't do it until you get it right. Do it until you can't get it wrong."

Today we worked on how to solve inequalities with the two weird rules involving flipping the sign (see notes). Homework is to complete the Inequalities Day 2 Worksheet. Please check your answers!

Today we learned how to solve basic inequality statements (see notes). Homework is to finish the worksheet and check your answers. Students got back their LT Practice #2 and a learning target sheet with links to start studying. The beta will be next Weds on February 5th. Students should start studying this week! Attached you will find the LT sheet and link to CPM parent guide.

Today we finished our work on using equations to solve 5-D type word problems. We also did our second LT Practice. Homework is to do 6.2.5 #106,107,110,111 & 6.2.7 #135

Today we worked on solving 5-D problems by making equations. Homework is to do 6.2.4 #97-99 & 6.2.5 #104,105,108.

Today we reviewed solving equations. Students took their first learning target assessment today. Homework is to do 6.2.3 #81, 82a, 84,87

Today we learned how to solve equations and then check our answers. We recognize that checking answers is an extra step that is not mandatory but might mean the difference between an A or a lesser grade. Homework is to do 6.2.1 #54,56,58 & 6.2.2 #65,66,68-70. Please see notes about factoring for problem 56.

Today we learned more about inequalities and how to graph and write them (see notes). Homework is to do the worksheet from class. Make sure that #17 is fixed to say the sum of the ages is 76 years.

Today we worked on writing expressions, simplifying them, and comparing the expressions (see notes!). Homework is to do 6.1.1 #6,9 & 6.1.2 #17,19,20a&b.

Today we did a Pear Deck for our 2nd LT Practice (attached here). I have also attached a blank version of the LT Practice #1 along with the solutions. By looking at the Google Slides and LT Practice #1, students will have an example of every type of problem that will be on the beta. I have also linked the Parent Guide for CPM for additional practice problems. Beta is next class!

Today we continued working with the 5-D process, focusing more on how we can use the variable part of it to help us SOLVE the problem versus guessing and checking. We finished class with working on a problem with the group and putting it on a poster. We will finish the poster next class and start reviewing for the beta. Homework is to do 5.3.4 #139.140,142 & 5.3.5 #144,147,148. Please don't forget to check your answers and come in at lunch if you need help on a problem!

Today in class we really practiced the 5-D process (see notes attached). We learned how to guess and check in a manner that was more orderly than random guessing. Students will never be forced to use a certain method on the beta; however, I do encourage students to practice using this method so that when we stop guessing and start using Algebra, they have the background knowledge on how to set up the problem. Homework is to do 5.3.2 #110,111,113 & 5.3.3 #123,125,127. HINT: for problem 110, think about spinning a black twice as spinning a black AND spinning a black.

Today we worked on starting to draw diagrams as part of a 5-part process of solving problems. Students took their first Learning Target Practice for this unit (beta will be on December 12th). Many of the topics on this practice were ones that students had forgotten how to do, so we will be working on them for the next few classes. Homework is to do 5.3.1 #99,101-103.

Today we continued working on compound probabilities and introduced the idea of using "and" with probabilities. We also worked on building lists, diagrams, and tables to figure out outcomes. Homework is to do 5.2.3 #49,50,53 & 5.2.4 #60,62 & 5.2.5 #72

Today we went back to probability and worked on fair vs unfair games and looked at computer simulations of probability. Homework is to do 5.2.1 #29-33 & 5.2.2 #38-41. Attached are the answers, notes, and a picture of a standard deck of cards.

Today we started working on finding percents of wholes. We created diagrams to show how to solve percent problems. We also talked about how to do mental math to solve certain percent problems. Homework is to do 5.1.1 #9,10,12,13 & 5.1.2 #18,22.

Today we learned about making zero pairs to simplify expressions. Students also grabbed review sheets to start reviewing for the beta, which is next class! Homework is to study and do 4.3.3 #112 a&b, 113, 117-119.

Today we talked about how we can use the distributive property to rewrite algebraic expressions. Homework is to do 4.3.2 #93,94,96,101. Answers are attached.

Based upon the Learning Target Practice #1, it appears that there is a need for more practice with finding the unit rate from a graph. You will have a week to complete this.

Today in class we had a Learning Target Practice (#2). Hopefully grading it yourselves and giving yourself an overall grade helped you realize what was missing and needed for the grade you want on the beta. Homework is to finish the two Albert.io assignments. Please check in with me if you have problem logging in.

Today we started working with Algebra tiles and learning how to combine like terms (see notes). Homework is to do 4.3.1 #75,77,80,81,84.

Today we tied it all together with respect to finding the unit rate/constant of proportionality. We reviewed how to use a verbal description to then create a graph, table, and equation. Afterwards we had the first Learning Target Practice of this unit. Homework is to do 4.2.4 #60-63,65,66.

Today we continued to work on recognizing proportional relationships in tables and graphs. We started talking about how we can create equations to represent proportional relationships. Homework is to do 4.2.2 #42 & 4.2.3 #50, 51, 53, 54.

Today we learned about proportional reasoning and took notes on what makes a proportion. We also talked about what a full and complete answer would look like in math. Students got their betas back today and should know what they need to work on for extensions/reperformances.
Homework is to do 4.2.1 #29-31,33. 33 Asks about mean and median . Mean is the average of the numbers (add up and divide by the number of numbers) and median is the number in the middle once they are in order.

Today we talked about scale factor and how we can use it to find similar shapes (see notes). Homework is to do 4.1.1 #6,7,10 and 4.1.2 #16-18.

Today we did a lot! We reviewed how to solve word problems involving rational numbers. Students got back their MAP test scores and we went over what they mean. Students took the LT Practice #3 on Illuminate and then updated their LT scoresheet for the unit. Students finished and turned in the worksheet that covered LT #'s 9 and 10. Lastly, students got a chance to work on a study guide. Make sure to add to what you are studying the idea of dividing by 0. Homework is to finish the study guide and study for the assessment, which will be on Thursday.

Today we reviewed order of operations and went over different ways to solve complex expressions. You also got back your Learning Target Practice #2. Keep that along with Practice #1 to help you study for the beta, which is next Tuesday the 15th. Homework is to do the front page of the worksheet (we will review in class next class) and 3.3.3 #125-127.
Answers to the worksheet: -1.5, -3.41, -1.17, 4.483, 4.374, 3.05

Today we learned about WHY we can keep change flip when dividing fractions (you're welcome!). We also learned why we move the decimal when dividing with decimals. Homework is to do 3.3.1 #94,96 & 3.3.2 #107-109.

Today we worked on reviewing adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers by playing the game in the 3.2.5 section. Students then took their LT Practice #2 for this beta. Homework is to do 3.2.5 #82-85.

Today we reviewed decimal multiplication and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of negatives. Homework is to do 3.2.2 #46,47 & 3.2.3 #59,60,62 & 3.2.4 #73,75.
Answers attached.

Today we worked on subtracting negatives. We learned that when we subtract negatives, we are actually making numbers positive. We realized that subtracting is really the same as adding the opposite (see notes). We did a practice worksheet (attached and with answers) and we had Learning Target Practice quiz at the end of class. Homework is to do 3.2.1 #35,36,38.

Today we started talking about order of operations. We learned about terms and how terms can help with simplifying expressions. Homework is to do 3.1.1 #8-10 & 3.1.2 #19,20,22,23. Any method can be used. When finding distance between numbers, find the distance to zero from that number, and then add the distances together.

We had the beta in class today. We will be doing MAP testing next class, so make sure your chromebook comes to class fully charged! I will not have enough spaces for you to plug in your chromebook during class.

We will be using the Learning Target Assessments to create an individualized study guide.

Today we learned a new way to multiply fractions (see notes). We also had the Learning Target Practice #2. Homework is to do 2.2.6 #101-104.

Today we talked about how we can start to multiply with negatives. We found some cool ways of thinking about it. We also discussed how we can represent fraction multiplication with rectangle models (2.2.5). Homework is to do 2.2.4 #79,82,83 and 2.2.5 #90,92.

Today we started working on negatives, but we learned about it using the idea of going forward or backward. We discussed how you can change the order of what is being added if that makes it easier. We also used Algebra Tiles and + and - to write out expressions. Homework is to do 2.2.2 #51, 53, 54ab, 55 and 2.2.3 #62a,b, 63, 64.

Today we learned how to convert from decimals to percents and fractions. We also learned how to go from percents to decimals as a result. We spent the last part of class doing the first Learning Target Practice. Those will be graded and returned next class. They will show up in PowerSchool under "Practice". Homework is to do 2.1.2 #26-28. Optional/enriching is to watch the video attached on how to convert from a repeating decimal to a fraction. You can also look at problem 22 in this section. Notes and answers are attached.

Today we worked on using long division to convert fractions to decimals. We looked at the decimals and saw whether they repeated (had a pattern that went on and on) or terminated (ends). Homework is to do 2.1.1 #8-11,13,15,17. Notes and answers are attached.

Today we talked about adding fractions with unlike denominators, finding probabilities of two or more events, and then figuring out how to find missing probabilities. Homework is to do 1.2.6 #114,115a,116 & 1.2.7 #124,125 & 1.2.8 #138,140. Notes and answers are attached.

Today we worked on figuring out whether the theoretical probability would change if we doubled, tripled, or any number times the sample we had (it won't because the ratio will always stay the same). We then moved into fractions and talked about how we can use the giant 1 to create equivalent fractions to either convert a fraction to a percent by getting an equivalent fraction out of 100. We also used the giant 1 to find equivalent fractions to make common denominators so we can add the fractions. Notes are attached. Homework is to do 1.2.3 #80,81,84 and 1.2.5 #103,105,106.

Today we learned about how to find the probability of events happening. We also talked about the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Homework is to do 1.2.1 #57,59,60a and 1.2.2 #70,71 (note just part a on question 60). Notes are attached as well as the answer.

Today we talked about what makes games fair or unfair. We also discussed the meanings of repeating and terminating with regards to decimals and how to use the repeating bar to represent repeating decimals. We started talking about whether 9/9 equals 1 or not, but we seemed undecided in the end. I have attached two videos to watch for some more thinking about this if you are interested. Homework is to do 1.1.2 #11, 13, 14 and 1.1.5 #45, 47. Answers are attached.

Today we learned how to login to the ebook (see link below). We did an activity to learn more about the new groups you were placed in. We also went over the syllabus. Homework is to do 1.1.1 #4 and get your parent signature on the syllabus.

Today we got to know each other a little better. If you didn't already turn it in, please make sure to fill out the insta-get-to-know-you page and turn it in next class (attached). It was nice meeting you!
