sub plans 3/22

It's amazing how the best laid plans can be unraveled. On Thursday our custodian ran over my microphone cord with the vacuum cleaner and it broke. As a result, I could not record what I was originally planning for the day and unfortunately you will have a more traditional substitute day. I am sorry.

1) Have a volunteer from each class check the homework.

2) On my desk there are two piles, one for 8th grade and one for seventh. Pass out check-up 2 (one per student). Students will take the quiz silently by themselves. Students have as much time to finish the quiz as they need, although I doubt it will take the whole period. Once they are done, students should turn in the quiz to the turn in slot (they know where that it)

3) After finishing the quiz, give each student the riddle work sheet that is under the quiz. Students can work in groups of two once everyone has turned in the quiz. Students should turn in the work sheets (even if they do not finish) at the end of class for grading.

graph and find the equation

x 1 3 5 7
y 4.4 3.2 2 0.8

Table 2
x 1 3 5 7
y -2.33 1 4.33 7.66

There are no videos. Rember that in math you follow the pattern. Don't just plot the four points, extend the line so that it crosses both the x and y axis. That way, you are better able to find the y-intercept. For the slope, draw the slope triangle and label the rise and run. Slope is rise over the run (a fraction). Don't convert the slope to a decimal, just substitiute the slope for m in the equation y=mx+b.

Feel like you have something to say, but you don't have a chance to say it and have it heard? There is a global web magazine that is being started to air the voice of students. An example of an earlier addition can be brought up by clicking on the link below:

sub plans for feb 23

To play the videos, please unplug the microphone from the computer and turn the volume up on the board.

1)Warm-up: Copy one of the riddle worksheets (back and front) and pass it out. Students should do one side for their warm-up.

2) Finish Investigation 3.2:
Once everyone finishes, have members of the mathletics team review the answers and explain problems that are requested.

3)Pass out the CSAP packet. It is due tomorrow. I have some originals that are not stapled on top. If you are having troubles reading, those should be better. Mrs. Degi's printer is needing a new cartridge desperately. I have one problem on the blog that you can view if you need to fill time.
csap wood stack

Students can start working on them (no calculators)

4) if you need more for them to do, they can do the other side of the riddle worksheet.

Wednesday alert

I am a bit disappointed that there were so many issues with the csap pockets last week. I know the copies were the best, but they were definitely readable and since the all the questions are explained on the blog, there should be no problems getting them done.

So here's the deal. On Wednesday there will be an open book/notes timed test on the csap packet. Any notes you take tonight on the blog videos will be usable tomorrow.

Song change: here are the lyrics for my generation (the Who) and sweet child o' mine (Guns 'n Roses)

My generation
People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Sweet Child O' Mine lyrics

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Sweet child
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Sweet child
Sweet child o' mine

Thank you Alena for emailing me on this one. The homework due tomorrow is Investigation 3.4. You have had the chance to play the integer product game, so you should have no problems in answering the questions. While we are talking about changing the schedule...Since the 5th graders are walking through tomorrow, we will NOT have check-up 2.

homework assignment sheet 11/16 to Thanksgiving

good integer rap. enjoy

Mathletes quick review of integers

The multiplying and the dividing algorithms are the same! It's nice that way. So...
(pos = positive, neg = negetive)

Dividing:

• pos / pos= pos
• neg / neg = pos

{if the signs are the same, then the answer is pos}

• pos / neg = neg
• neg / pos = neg

{if the signs are different, then the answer is neg}

Homework for the night of 11/16

The homework due on Tuesday is 4-11, 33 in the third ace section. This assignment was originally due last Friday before the schedule change. The assignment sheet will follow soon.

Multiplying/dividing algorithm:

• pos * pos = pos
• neg * neg = pos
• pos * neg = neg
• neg * pos = neg

Reminder

There is no homework tonight due to a change in the schedule

Homework that was stated as due today is really due tomorrow

Sub plans 11/10

Here are the sub planss
1) Play these two videos and have the kids just watch them

Thank you Haley for commenting this to my attention. Tomorrow we start the next book and since you don't have the new book yet, there is no way for you to do homework tonight. I'm sure you're very disappointed about that. Since you don't have any math homework, you have extra time to head over to Chipotle and enjoy another burrito.
