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.

Please email me if you have any questions or concerns,

Respectfully,

Mrs. Faught

I've attached a pdf of the notes from class today.  Tuesday will be a work day with a focus on knocking out angle relationships, the Angle Addition Postulate, the Angle Bisector Theorem, and Constructions. Wednesday we will take an interim test in the KITE platform. Thursday will be a work day, continuing with the constructions, and students will be able to retake their UNIT 3 Test in class if they've finished their test corrections.  

Tutoring this week, Monday 3:05-4, Tuesday 3-3:30, Wednesday 3:05-4 and Thursday 3:05 to 4.

Any student that scored under an 80% is encouraged and expected to complete corrections and retake the test. Students may also complete/correct any and all homework assignments for FULL credit... please encourage them to keep working!  

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Here's to a great week!!!

I've completed the work on notebook paper and scanned it in, so you can check work not just answers.  The key to solving equations is definitely in the steps taken and the attention to detail given.

Please email if you have any questions or concerns,

Mrs. Faught

All missing work is due by Thursday so I can get grades updated prior to seeing everyone Friday morning.  

8th Graders received the quiz they took last week, graded with notes.  We met in small groups today to work through some of the struggle spots, I'll attach a copy of the key so you know what I was looking for.  

7th Graders, keep up the great work!  

Thank you for your time, 

Respectfully,

Mrs. Faught

Today we started solving equations with Rational Numbers!!!  WE CONQUERED Fractions by Multiplying by the Least Common Denominator!!! 

Attached are some notes from class.

Work is WB page 203-208 # 1-18 and 2 Hot Questions, Monday was the initial day of instruction, Tuesday is a work day, so students are expected to try their homework at home and bring any questions back to class on Tuesday!  Hopefully everyone will finish by the End of Day Tuesday!

Students will have approximately 25 minutes in class Friday to finish it up, ask questions, etc.  It will then be graded and recorded.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week,

Mrs. Faught

I hope everyone is safe, warm, and having a great day!

The final will still take place on Tuesday so it can carry over into Wednesday if needed.

Students are encouraged to look over and redo the "Ready To Go On" assignments and Unit Study Guides in preparation for the Final tomorrow.  As directed from the first weeks of school, students should have the completed Quizzes and Tests to review for their final, as a formal study guide has not been provided.  IXL is again a great resource for practice questions, automatically graded with corrective actions recommended.  

I will update grades as the week progresses, with Final grades posting Thursday afternoon.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email me.

Respectfully,

Mrs. Faught

Students are encouraged to study their Unit study guides in their workbooks, their previously completed tests and Quizzes, and have access to IXL for practice.

Questions will cover:

Venn Diagram -Real Numbers

Approximating Irrational Numbers

Scientific Notation and operations with scientific notation

Rational #'s order from least to greatest

Slope-from points, tables, & graphs.

Slope intercept form

Solve algebraic equations with one variable

proportional relationships

exponent operations

Functions

Today in class we wrapped up Module 6.

I'll work on getting all of the grades entered in over the weekend, as always, please feel free to email me.
