Math: The Meatballs started proportions this week. They had a review lesson on solving proportions Tuesday and started a project Wednesday and Thursday. First we read If You Hopped Like a Frog by David M Schwartz. This book had comparisons like, if you scurried like a spider you could run a football field in 2 seconds. We used those ratios and our body measurements to solve how far we could scurry. The 8th grade class learned functions are like vending machines on Tuesday and had lessons over slope on Wednesday and Thursday. They can now identify the slope of a […]

Math: This week the Meatballs reviewed for and then took a check-in over solving equations. They ended the week with lessons over solving inequalities. The 8th grade Oaks practiced and reviewed all week for their upcoming check-in over solving equations. One practice sheet was dedicated to Eric because every answer was 6, 7, 67, 6.7, or 6/7. The Algebra Oaks learned point-slope form and

Math: 7th graders tackled two-step equations this week including equations involving integers and writing equations. The 8th grade took the week to learn and practice solving equations with variables on both sides. Algebra had lessons over slope-intercept form and standard form, x and y intercepts, and horizontal and vertical lines. Humanities: What an exciting week as students started the final section of their Uprising novels! The fire was raging, and the students started to evaluate the characters to begin the writing process for their final projects: writing literary essays. We began by looking at the effects of the strike in
