Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

I wanted to share some good practice sites for order of operations in case you wanted to practice on your own - we will talk more about these in class, but I have noticed that some of you need a little more work in this area so try some of these:

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/multiplication-division/order_of_operations/v/introduction-to-order-of-operations?topic=order-of-operations

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/multiplication-division/order_of_operations/v/more-complicated-order-of-operations-example?topic=order-of-operations

http://www.basic-mathematics.com/order-of-operations-game.html

and this one - but run it in chrome or safari - http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/OrderOfOperationsFou/

Have fun practicing!

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 19th - Class

As a class we reviewed Skill Sheet #2 and questions on it.  Students had specific questions around area of a circle and the formula for circumference.  Questions also were brought up on percents of a number, order of operations and division of fractions. Please see the Math Skills Help Site for some more assistance on this.

After Skills were discussed we moved into the Investigation 1 "mock" Quiz. This will be graded as a class to allow students to see what the format of a Quiz is like.
