Thursday/ Friday January10th/ 11th

Investigation 2.1 p. 22-23 in the text.

The mathematical goal for the next two days is for students to become comfortable with writing ratios and related forms of comparisons to solve problems.

The following is the provided note sheet we completed together in class for the investigation.

Students had two days in class and the weekend to complete ACE Problems # 1, 2, 3, and 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.  These will be due Monday along with a binder organization check.

Monday October 1st

Today in class students updated there Skills Tracker Sheets on their E-portfolios. They now have scores from the first 3 skills sheets. My expectation is that if they received a score lower than 7 out of 9 they will correct and resubmit the sheet to me. These are corrections are due by Friday!  

A reminder that skills help can be found on the HMS Skills Help Page.

They also received Skill Sheet #4.





Students completed their first Quiz today and will be getting this back this week.

We will start Investigation 3.1 tomorrow.  Students should organize their binders and get ready to begin this.  Binders should be in order of investigation for example:
Inv 1.1, Inv 1.1 homework, Inv 1.2, Inv 1.2 homework, Inv 1.3, Inv 1.3 homework....

September 12th - Class

We had a great class today discussing questions students had on Skill Sheet #1.  We also reviewed the format of how homework pages should be set up and expectations around complete answers and sentences.
