Last school day of 2014!

Before we head out for break and time with our families we have a few more tasks to do in class today.  Here are the steps for today.

1. Level Up and review sheets, today the focus is on unit rates, ratios, and distributive property.

2. xtramath.org

3. Play KenKen

4. ABCYa! Super Santa

5. SoftSchools Christmas Tree Light-Up

6. Snowman Skiing Game  

7. Play The World’s Hardest Game

Test Review

Today we are reviewing Unit Rates and Ratios for tomorrow's assessment.  Here are a couple of "interesting" videos to help for reminders if you have a couple of minutes to check them out.

Level Up day

Hello everyone, the gradebook is up to date and all current scores are in the computer.  We did a level up day today and there was progress shown in moving from 1's to 2's and 3's on our skills.

We're moving into more rates and ratios and will assess on the topic around December 18th and doing a mid-year assessment of all 6th grade skills on the 19th to see how much we've learned.

Continued daily practice of xtramath is encouraged for those not yet done with multiplication and we are also in the middle of the Khan-test that will conclude on the 19th as well.

Starting Ratios and Rates this chapter

Here's a review for us to work on our skills with some review mixed in:

Assignment Link

When you finish, feel free to continue building points for the Khan-test.  Also, you can do xtramath if you are not done with that as well.

Chapter Four Review

Here's a review that will help you to be ready for the assessment tomorrow.  When you finish remember the KhanTest for this month, top person wins in each class, and top five may also win a prize from each class.  Remember that only points from December 1st to December 19th when your class starts count. Test Practice LINK HERE

Area of Figures

On Monday we started learning about area of different figures, here are some examples so you can look for ways to incorporate these into the next couple of weeks at home.

Assessment today!

When you finish here are two games that help with computer coding and logic to check out:

1. http://www.codemonkey.co.il/

2. http://www.thinkfun.com/playonline/chocolatefix

Enjoy!  Level Ups on Monday on the skills you have not mastered yet.

Review for test today, actual test tomorrow.

Note: Mr Nelson had a wonderful plan for today, so we're doing the same thing to prepare for the test.

Today in Math class we will be reviewing Chapter 3, because we are going to have a little assessment tomorrow, which gives you the opportunity to prove to me what you can do!  You are being tested on the following four skills:

• Evaluating expressions by plugging in values for variables
• Writing expressions for phrases
• Identifying the Commutative and Associative properties
• Using the Distributive Property

Please work your way through the following Review Tasks IN ORDER:

GOOD WORK!!

You have finished all of the review activities.  Are you feeling prepared for tomorrow's assessment?  If yes, go ahead and play some Math games or go back to Khan Academy and practice some Math skills.  

More distributive properties and combining like terms

Today we have our Veteran's Day program and shortened math classes, but we are still learning new skills.  

Here's a video that I found relevant for Veteran's Day remembrance, enjoy 

Khan Academy: Combining Like Terms

• Khan Academy: Combining Like Terms

• Khan Academy: Combining Like Terms With Distribution

IXL: Combining Like Terms
Follow the link to IXL and do the Add and Subtract Like Terms activity:

• Add and Subtract Like Terms

BET YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!

• Khan Academy: Distributive Property

Monday, more practice of expressions

Today we are doing an assignment of things we learned how to do last week.

 Couple of reminders:
1. Use the distributive property where it is necessary.
2. Only combine like terms, so you can combine 5 + 8, but not 5x + 8.

They have to be either the same letter or just numbers. After you complete these, move on to xtramath to finish and do khan or mobymax until the last ten minutes, then you can do other things on the computer.

You can choose one set of problems to do, the first set is a little bit easier and the second is more of a challenge. You may also do both if you really like to do these types of problems. :)

 Finally, if you run out of time, submit what you did and finish at home or wherever you can get to a computer. At the end of the assignment the secret word is: veggie tales.

 

Distributive Property

Here's some review if you would like to work on this over the period or at home even :)

Properties and some review

Today we are doing the following:

1. Lesson

2. Xtramath

3. Complete the questions below.

Term 1 Review and some other things

So, today we did a term 1 review of all of the skills that we've covered so far.  This was interesting to see what we remembered as a group and what we need to continue to work on this second term.

We struggle with adding and subtracting fractions, especially with finding common denominators.

There are two properties that we are focusing on tomorrow:

Also, conferences are tomorrow and next Tuesday, hope to see you there!

Congrats to Jun Y for completing xtramath!  

TRIO day in math

Today we are not doing regular math class, rather Mr. Emerson from TRIO Talent Search is coming in to share test taking strategies for all students to be more successful in that area.  He rotates between classes and talks about a variety of topics including: organization, time management, listening, note-taking, and memory as well.

For math we are going to work on one more topic before our next assessment.  Here's the weekly schedule:

Monday : Trio Talent Search
Tuesday: Dividing Decimals
Wednesday: Probably more dividing and reviewing all operations with decimals
Thursday: Decimals Assessment (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
Friday: No School on this date

Congratulations to the following student(s) for completing xtramath math facts:

• Daysun S.

There are many people close to done and remember this can be done at home as well.  Let's master those facts.  

Adding and Subtracting Decimals

Today we start with the first of three decimal operations days.  We will cover two of the four on the first day, addition and subtraction.

Here's the basic tip of the day: LINE UP THE DECIMALS

That's it, it's really that simple.  Of course you need to be able to perform the correct mathematical practices to get the correct answer.

Think of it like the buttons on a shirt.  

Also, congrats to the following students for completing xtramath yesterday:

• Ava Z.
• Olivia A.
• Sydney F.

Decimals PreTest and Individualized Homework

Greetings!

Today we congratulate the following students for completing xtramath:

• Emma R.
• Journey W.
• Zach ET.

Knowing these facts are KEY to your success in math!

We are completing the decimals pretest to see how many students already know them and can move on to more advanced usage of this skill.  Also, when it is complete students will get their fractions tests back and an opportunity to practice skills that are not yet at mastery.  ALWAYS WORKING TOWARDS MASTERY!  

Here's the plan for the week:

• Monday - Pretest and practice
• Tuesday - Addition and Subtraction of Decimals Day 1
• Wednesday - Early Release - Level Ups
• Thursday - Addition and Subtraction of Decimals Day 2
• Friday - Multiplying Decimals Day 1

Fraction Test and next up Decimals!

Greetings and Salutations,
 Today we assess our knowledge of fractions.  Next week we point in the direction of decimals, get it, point, like a decimal point?

  Congratulations to the following student for finishing xtramath multiplication:

• Andrew V.

When you finish the assessment you may check out the following after xtramath if you're interested in pre-learning our upcoming skills:

Go to www.khanacademy.org and type "decimals" into the search box and you'll get lots of skills to help you get started.

Also, here's a semi-fun game that involves some strategy to get the highest score possible

• Shopping Mall Game

Fractions Review (Multiplication and Division)

We'll be having our Test tomorrow to see how much we know about fractions.

Here's the Big Ideas practice quiz from our Math book for you to practice if you want more fraction action

 2. Multiplying Fractions

 3. Dividing Fractions

Here's a video to remind you how to divide fractions.

Improper fractions and Mixed Numbers

Chapter 2: Fractions and Decimals

Today we pre-test and start learning about fractions and decimals.  More specifically we are going to multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers.  Then, we will start to work with all decimal operations later in the chapter.  This unit should take about three to four weeks, in that time start to talk about fractions and decimals at home.  If you have any examples you've talked about and want to share, please email me or comment on this post.

For example: "We were getting gas last night and noticed there were decimals on the pumps, so we figured out how many miles per gallon we got as a family."

Here are a few other things to consider as we start this chapter and the conversations you can have at home:

Test done, reflection day, and getting ready for Chapter Two!

LCM day two and some review

Here's a list of things to do today to improve your skills and continue learning our current topics of study.

 1.     www.xtramath.org

 2. Form questions, only 5 of them :)

 3. Khan review topics ( choose at least one, but you can do all three)

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOUR NAME OR NUMBER IS AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SCREEN OR ELSE YOU AREN'T LOGGED IN AND IT MIGHT NOT COUNT.  :)

          - LCM
          - GCF
          - Order of Operations

4. When everything else is complete you may play some games or continue with Khan Academy.

Least Common Multiples

Yesterday we did the Star Assessment, lots of data should come out of that and help to see strengths and gaps for each student.

Thursday though, we're on to the topic of LCM or least common multiple.  Guess what?  It's just like GCF, but you multiply all of the outside numbers together.

We'll watch the video today:
 Today use this form to answer the review questions:
https://docs.google.com/a/msd.k12.wi.us/forms/d/1EHtdz_PAPJHJRK5Uq4TGX3cQfIBbKLF6WER4wwhhVf0/viewform?usp=send_form

GCF - Greatest Common Factor

 Order of Operations review if you want more practice


 Also here's a practice link for GCF from Khan:
Greatest Common Factor practice

Enjoy the weekend!

Prime Factorization

Today we are starting prime factors and leading into greatest common factor and least common multiple.  Also, the first quiz is entered in the grade book.

Students, here's the practice link for you to work on today:

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/factors-multiples/prime_factorization/e/prime_factorization

and

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-fourth-grade-math/cc-4th-fact-mult-topic/cc-4th-prime-composite/e/prime_numbers

First Quiz of the Year

Today we are completing the first graded quiz of the year, it will be graded in three categories:

1. Whole number operations
2. Exponents
3. Order of Operations

There will be many opportunities to show knowledge of these topics if you scored a 1 or 2, including the test at the end of the chapter.

Tomorrow is an early release day, so not a normal math day, so we will resume on Thursday with Prime Factorization.  

Order of Operations

Today we're starting Order of Operations, also we were assigned our first homework assignment today.  It's practice 1.1 and 1.2 which focuses on long division and exponents.  Expect one take home assignment a week with any and all topics we've already covered.


Make 24 Game

Whole Number Operations, Specifically Long Division

Today we did more Long Division, I was excited to see so many students know how to do this already.  The biggest struggles I saw were putting the wrong numbers up and having to redo the calculations and knowledge of basic math facts.  We'll get there.  I was also pleased to hear that some students told me, "This doesn't seem as hard as I thought it would be!"  Good stuff!

Whole Numbers Operations

Today we reviewed whole number addition, subtraction, and most importantly long division.  Our focus of Tuesday will be long division.  There are four steps:

1. Divide
2. Multiply
3. Subtract
4. Bring Down

That's it!  We repeat that process until we run out of numbers to divide.

Also, we learned a little bit about Khan Academy.  This is a place to work on math more independently and also practice different levels of difficulty.  All the way from K to post secondary skills are found here.  There is a direct link on the right side of this page.

Intro to ChomeBooks Today

Today we continue rotations and each student will attempt to log in to them and learn the basics of how to use the computers. We use these for a lot of different tasks in math class, so this is step one. If you got to this page, please work on the form below:

https://docs.google.com/a/msd.k12.wi.us/forms/d/18INOaZ9e_bvvXTJXDOuQ-1ccNSpyhbbanAljf3N973M/edit

2. After Gradecam take a sheet from the front desk and choose to do either side as practice.  Turn in on or before Monday.

3. When you finish you may turn them into the basket.

4. Any remaining time you should complete xtramath and then I recommend math games or something that will make you smarter than you were before you came in the door.

5. Just for fun, if you really have extra time shmallowing

Monday we starting talking about unit rates, enjoy!
