Tuesday, October 31st "Halloween"
1st, 6th, & 7th period: Today we reviewed Tuesday night's weekly homework problems. Then, we checked and went over the additional #1-12 on the Distributing practice paper from yesterday. Afterwards, we reviewed factoring from Unit 1. In Unit 1 we factored out the GCF and used it to illustrate the sum of two numbers. In our Expressions Unit we'll use it to create equivalent expressions. I posted a few videos below to help.
|
4th Period: Today students did not have a warm-up at the beginning of class. Instead we utilized the first 10 minutes of class time so that they could work on assignments they owe Mr. Queen and I. Each student also left class today with an itemized report of everything they've received a grade on in our class this 9 weeks. Many students have failing grades in class currently due to missing assignments. Please ask your child about their print out and their completed or missing assignments.
Afterwards, we continued learning how to use the Distributive property from yesterday's lesson to create equivalent expressions. After working together on several problems students then worked independently and one-on-one with Mr. Queen or myself to get the remainder of the problems finished. Prior to the end of class we came back together to check the problems and paste them in our notebooks. At the end of class we had a quick 5 minutes to preview tomorrow's main topic...Factoring. |
|
|
Monday, October 30th
1st, 6th, & 7th periods:
Today students recalled the Distributive Property from Unit 1. However, in Unit 1 we primarily used it for rewriting the sum of two numbers by factoring out the GCF. This time students will be applying the rules of the property to distribute and to factor in order to create equivalent expressions. This is the last standard in this Unit. We are hoping to have our Unit Test on Thursday of this week. Students also received their weekly homework sheet. This weeks sheet only has 3 night's due to Thursday's test and Friday's math benchmark. Additional homework: #1-12 on the paper sent home. |
4th period:
Today students learned all about the Distributive property and how to apply it to create equivalent expressions. They did so well with this concept!!!!

Students worked in groups to take various math terms and group them into their appropriate categories. Then, we reviewed what each group had come up with before the end of class. |
4th period:
Today my 4th period kiddos probably left very unhappy with me. I did NOT have a good report from the sub or Mr. Queen during my absence yesterday. As it turns out several students were very disrespectful to Mr. Queen while he was teaching the lesson. Mr. Queen gave out 8 demerits during 4th period yesterday. I about had a cow! I could not believe my kids had been so disrespectful. I told each student that had received a demerit that they were to sit Silent Lunch for one day. Most of them apologized to me and to Mr. Queen for their behavior, but it was still unacceptable. Then, students took a POP QUIZ over Evaluating Expressions. |
Thursday, October 19th
1st, 6th, & 7th periods:
Today students practiced Evaluating Expressions from our lesson yesterday. Then, they had class time to work on their Homework sheet that's due tomorrow.

Wednesday, October 18th
1st, 6th, & 7th period:
Today students learned all about Variables & Evaluating expressions using substitution. We watched a very catchy "Flocabulary" video about Algebraic Expressions and then took notes. Once we got started students were surprised at how easy it is to sub in values for variables. Tomorrow students will practice "evaluating expressions" with Mrs. Gonzales. I will be attending a Math Technology training here at FCMS. Those who don't stay on task and finish in class tomorrow may come home with additional homework. Hopefully not though. |
4th period:
Today students turned in their leaves from yesterday & then we went over tonight's homework. Afterwards, we learned what variables and Algebraic Expressions are. Mr. Queen worked through an interactive powerpoint and students got to come to the board and solve problems. We had a friendly competition going on at the end of class. We ended the class with 3 additional problems written on the board for homework. This is NOT mandatory homework, but those that were paying attention and got them written down can complete them, showing all their steps, and turn them in tomorrow to get a "No homework pass". We shall see how many do this. Tomorrow, I, Jodi Morgan, will be attending a Math Training here at FCMS. Mr. Queen will be doing notes over "Evaluating Expressions" with the class. Mrs. Gonzales will be here to assist.

Today we continued learning about the Order of Operations. We finished our notes and then worked through a practice Sheet. |
4th Period
Today we learned all about the order of operations. Today it was mandatory to show all the steps. If we don't show all our steps on the order of operations we'll get lost along the way. Many students really struggled with this because it was a bit too much work for them. However, if they can't do it this year then they'll struggle even more the next two years. |
Thursday, October 12th
Today students recalled the "Order of Operations". We finished up our "Exponents" practice sheet and then moved on. I do not use "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" to help students remember. Instead I simply use PEMDAS. I have them make a special note that "MD" are on the same level because they're worked LEFT TO RIGHT, and "AS" are on the same level because they're also worked LEFT to RIGHT.

Afterwards, we moved on to discussing the number line. Many students are unfamiliar with negative numbers being on the number line. They glued a small number line into their notebooks that I made for them. While they were pasting these into their notebook I played a cool Flocabulary "Number Line" video for them. Once the video was over each student received their own number. The whole class had to place themselves in order on an imaginary number line based upon the number they were given. The trick was that they had 3 minutes to complete this task with out speaking. Some couldn't do it without talking and didn't get to finish the activity. Overall, students did very well with this. 4th period will work more on number lines tomorrow!
