Expressions and equations: radicals and integer exponents, proportional relationships, lines, linear equations, and solving linear equations and inequalities. Functions: Define, evaluate, and compare as well as using functions to model relationships between quantities. Statistics and Probability: investigate patterns of association in bivariate data. There is an increased focus on Geometry. Students will be increasing understanding and ability to measure angles and the relationships between angles. Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. Solving real-world mathematical problems involving measurement.
There will be a variety of projects and activities assigned, as well as book work and online assignments, tests, quizzes, and vocabulary.

Happy Sunday,
I hope everyone has had a great weekend.
It's been pretty busy around here! I've been working on updating grades, but have a HUGE stack of papers to grade, so I ask for your patience. I've updated the grades that are scored via the my.hrw.com web assignments, 8.EE.7, 11 Pretest, and 11 Are You Ready. The rest will take time.
Students should have a 50 term vocabulary sheet they will have had for a month. This assignment is due 2-28-2020. They've had time in class at various points to work on this assignment and we will continue to add to it as the Geometry Unit progresses.
There will be a Geometry Quiz on Friday, it will cover the angle measures, angle relationships, and the parallel lines cut by a transversal. Assignments 1-4, 1-5, 1-5B, and 11.1.
Students will receive a "Parallel City Project" this week, it will be due next Friday, March 6th. Look for it on Wednesday!
Please see attached file for notes and the tentative week at a glance.

I am sharing the Week At a Glance and some information for this week.
7th and 8th grade classes will be taking a Module Quiz this week, with 7th grade taking a Unit test as well. I am working on updating Skyward, and anticipate having it updated midweek (materials turned in by 9-21-19, I won't have access to anything they turn in this week until I return). I ask for your patience as I will be driving to the VA in Aurora CO Sunday to help my father.
I will be out of the building 9-23 through 9-27-2019, students will have a substitute for the week. Please encourage them to be respectful to the sub, and to complete their study guides and reviews. If students fret over the Quiz/Test I recommend they visit Tutoring with Mrs. Anderson after school in room 201, 3-3:30.
She is a certified math teacher and would love to help them.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings,
Today students worked on completing the online assignments, Graphed their Star Test Data, and worked on their leadership journals.
Thursday we will be starting a new module.
8th Grade will begin Module 2: Exponents and Scientific Notation, 7th Grade Module 3: Rational Numbers. Both grade levels should have completed their pretest, and "Are You Ready" online assignments.
I'm nearly finished grading Quizzes for 8th grade and should have grades updated later tonight.
While the grades will post Thursday 9-12-19 and progress reports will be sent to parents through Skyward, students will still be able to retake their Module Quizzes until the end of next Friday. I will get their grades updated as they turn in the corrections and complete their retake.
Forms and directions are posted on our class website.

Today students were supposed to have a quiz on module 1, but it has been postponed until Monday. My hope is that they will use this weekend to complete any missing work/corrections, and study! There's an online "Assessment Readiness" at my.hrw.com that's aligned to the Quiz as well.
I'm attaching the answer key to their Practice Quiz, WB page 27. This practice quiz is practically identical to the Quiz they'll take on Monday, we graded it in class today, and worked through problems the students requested.
I will be updating grades over the weekend.
Tutoring next week will be Monday 9-9-19, Wednesday 9-11-19. and Thursday 9-12-19 from 3-4pm. Students may stay in A.R. on Tuesday with Mrs. Lorenzen and Mrs. Anderson from 3-3:30.
Students with 3 missing assignments will be phoning home to ask if they are able to stay.
Monday, if any parent is able to come in and work on Book Covers we would appreciate it greatly! Students won't need their books for class, so you can work all class period on their books without interrupting their learning! Please let me know asap if you'll be coming in so I can let the office know!

Happy Thursday that's almost a Friday!
Today in class students answered 3 Quick Questions in Google classroom regarding integers on the number line. They then took their Module 1 Vocabulary Quiz, and completed the Module 2 "Are You Ready" at my.hrw.com. I will use the 3Q and the "Are you Ready" to pull students for intervention during lead next week.
My goal is to have all of their grades updated by Saturday afternoon, I will send out a progress report through Skyward when I have them completed.
The class goal was to turn in all work and missing work so they'd have NO Homework over the weekend!

I hope everyone is having a great second week of school!
Today in Math 8 students took their first STAR math test. This test is not for a grade, rather it is an adaptive test that changes as students answer the questions identifying their math abilities, and possible areas that need to be worked on.
Homework was assigned on Tuesday, everyone should have at least # 1-12 completed on WB page 12. We will continue to work through module on on Thursday.
I am looking forward to seeing you and learning about our students when I see you at conferences Thursday evening, and Friday morning!
