Today students received their Weekly homework sheets along with several graded papers. My grades are due for Progress Reports very very soon. Many students are still missing assignments due to absences. If you've been absent, please get your work turned in.
Then, we reviewed the 2 problems students were supposed to complete over the weekend. I was VERY proud of those that completed the problems. They did such a great job!!!
Afterwards, we moved on to Volume. Students watched a brief "BrainPop" video over Volume. Below I posted a few Volume videos that you may watch at home. Then, we began notes. The key to volume in 6th grade is that students should be able to find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths. I know not everyone is thrilled with "fractional edge lengths", but we must overcome our fear of fractions.
Students are bringing home a practice paper. They're to TRY to complete #1. Just #1!

Tuesday, January 30th
Today we learned how to find the area of a trapezoid. Trapezoids can be tricky. There's a formula, but it's also considered a composite figure composed of rectangles and triangles. Students were also given a practice paper to begin on. We'll have some time in class to finish it tomorrow.
Monday, January 29th
Today students were given about 7 minutes to finish their Area of Squares, Rectangles, & Parallelogram papers. We didn't get time to grade it in class, but they did turn it in to me. Then, we moved on to Area of Triangles. Students were shown how the area of a triangle can be derived from the area of a rectangle, square, or a parallelogram. It all depends on the type of triangle. You can find the area of all triangles by multiplying their base and height and then taking half of your product. We took notes and then students were given a practice paper. We only had time to review the practice paper and determine which values were the height and the base of each.
Tomorrow we'll finish the triangle sheet and move on to Trapezoids.
No weekly homework sheet this week! They received a Touchdown on their homework board! Congratulations!!

Today we reviewed the proportion word problems document from yesterday. Then students got back into groups with their partners to finish working out the problems. Afterwards, we moved on to learning about rates...unit rates in particular. Students were very surprised to find out that ratios and rates are almost one in the same. We focused on unit rate in particular today. A unit rate is a rate to one. Such as 120 miles in 2 hours is a rate. Therefore, the unit rate of that problem is 60 miles per hour.
Tuesday, December 5th
Today students learned how to solve Proportion word problems. Our main focus was on setting the proportion up correctly. This will be the most difficult part of the proportion process. Once we worked through 3 examples in our notes, students got with a partner to try their best and set up 7 other proportion word problems. We will go over what they accomplished today in class tomorrow and then finish by solving the proportions.
Monday, December 4th
Today we reviewed graphing equivalent ratios from last Thursday. Students were given about 7 minutes to finish the graphing sheet. Then, we moved on to Proportions. Students learned that a proportion is an equation where two ratios are set equal to one another. They learned how to solve proportions when one of the number in one ratio is missing. We solve these using Cross Products. See notes below.

Today students worked through a series of real world equivalent ratio problems using tables. I'll admit...some of these were tough, but my kiddos pulled it off! We reviewed and went over each problem prior to getting with our partners. My goal was to have each group at least get finished with #1-4 prior to the end of the time given. A few groups didn't finish. Those that didn't get through with #1-4 will need to finish through #4 for homework tonight.
Then, we moved on to looking at graphing equivalent ratios.
Homework sheet is due tomorrow!

Today we reviewed Tuesday night's weekly homework problems. Then, we quickly reviewed graphing inequalities from yesterday. After quickly reviewing, students had 10 minutes in class to complete a simple practice paper over graphing inequalities. We were gonna check this in class but about 3 people need a few more minutes to finish up. We'll check it tomorrow if we have time.
Then, we moved on to learning how to solve inequalities and we also learned about Compound inequalities. Solving inequalities is the same as solving equations. The only difference is that inequalities do not have a equal sign. Instead, they have a greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to sign. The solution is worked the same.
Compound inequalities are where two inequalities are being shown on the same graph. This was a tricky one for students but we'll review a bit more tomorrow.
