Middle School

Math: Everyone spent Monday working on the Stock Market Game. The game only has two weeks left! Tuesday, Da Sprouts worked on review stations and Wednesday they started a review worksheet for their upcoming check in. Evershrooms started a surface area project to build foil robots. They will complete their robots after the Iowa Assessments. Polar Bears worked with dilations on coordinate planes on Tuesday. With transformation lessons complete, they worked at identifying different transformations given clues on Wednesday. Mountain Lizards learned how to solve quadratics using both the square root method and by completing the square. Thursday everyone watched […]

Math: Everyone had Stock Market Game time on Tuesday since it had been two weeks without checking their portfolios. On Wednesday, Da Sprouts were introduced to inequalities and how to graph solution sets. Thursday they learned how to solve one step inequalities. Evershrooms jumped back into surface area by completing a lesson on finding the surface area of pyramids on Wednesday. Thursday they worked on surface area application problems. Polar Bears completed lessons over identifying transformations and working with dilations. Mountain Lizards worked on finding roots (or zeros or solutions or x-intercepts) of quadratics. Next they learned how to simplify

There is no newsletter this week. But enjoy these photos from the week before Spring Break!

Math: Da Sprouts took a check in on Monday over expression and then moved on to the equations unit. Tuesday they learned how to solve one-step addition and subtraction equations using inverse operations and Wednesday they solved puzzles to practice setting up inverse operations. Evershrooms reviewed Monday for their check in on Tuesday. Wednesday they began learning about 3D shapes and nets. Polar Bears took their check in over pythagorean theorem Monday and began exploring transformations on Tuesday and Wednesday. Mountain Lizards worked hard to review Monday, but no one else managed to escape to room. All were prepared, however,

Math: Da Sprouts spent Tuesday and Wednesday reviewing their short unit over expressions. Evershrooms completed a performance task this week. They were tasked to design a scale model blueprint of two rooms in a home. Each room had special area requirements and the area of all furniture, round and rectangular, were measured. Polar Bears finished their last lesson on Pythagorean Theorem solving 3D application problems. Mountain Lizards spent the week trying to escape! Only one student has escaped so far. The rest will have one more day next week to try. Thursday “math block” was spent working in Stock Market
