7 West Math

I had too much planned for today. We looked at the geometry concepts of transformations and geometric relationships. We didn’t cover all that I had planned in every class, but each class had a worksheet on Objective 4 for homework. Here is today’s PowerPoint.  (Click on the link or the slide to get a bigger view.)

We began our review for the ARMT today. We focused on the Number and Operation strand. We reviewed fractions, integers, decimals, percents, and order of operations. Tonight’s homework is a worksheet practicing Gridded Response questions.

Here is a slideshow of today’s PowerPoint.

All three of my children have had the flu, so I have not been at school in over a week.  I tried to go today, but I received a phone call from day care saying my son was throwing up before 1st period had barely begun!  On the way to pick him up, my daughter’s school called to say that she was not doing well, so I brought her home too.

I  have had a productive day.  While the children slept I graded mountains of papers!  I am caught up except for the Test Ready sheets they have done this week.  If I could just get to school to put my grades in STI, then all would be good!

Here is what the students have been working on while I was out…

While we are creating our presentations in the computer lab today, Mr. Harbeck’s students in Canada will be doing the same thing!  Here are your instructions so everything will go smoothly for us.

1. Log into Novell.  Your username is your first and last name.  Your password is your lunch number.
2. Open Geometer’s Sketchpad and insert a text box into the window.
3. Type an explanation of your conversion.  You can change the font, size, and color of your writing.  Make it large enough to fill the screen.
4. Select and copy your  work.
5. Open  PowerPoint and paste your work from Sketchpad into a blank slide.
6. Adjust the size so that it fills the slide.
7. Save the slide as a jpeg file into a place where you can find it.
8. Go back to Geometer’s Sketchpad and create a summary slide showing the price of your item in US and Canadian currency.
9. Repeat steps 4-7.
10. Open Bubbleshare and log in using the email alatoba@gmail.com.  The password is ilovemath.
11. Follow the instructions on the alatoba wiki.
12. Once your album is created, copy the number that is found in the url after the words “myalbum/”
13. Paste this code onto the page for your group under your group name.
    • Click on “Edit Page”
    • Highlight “Place Bubbleshare Here.”
    • Click on “Insert Plugin”
    • Choose “Photos” and then “Bubbleshare Slideshow.”
    • Paste the album number into the appropriate box.
14. You are done!

I have been swamped with paperwork, so I have not posted like I wanted to. However, you can find information for exam review in several places. First of all, your textbook has online activities. The link is on the first page of your book, and I told you to write the username and password in the front of your book or your planner. You can also check the archived posts from this blog, my blog from last year, Ellie’s blog, and Sargent Park Math Zone for topics you need help with. Each of these blogs has a search box on the sidebar that you can use to search the blog for a particular topic.  For example, if you need help solving equations, you could search for “equations” and the posts containing that word will be listed.   Please post in the comments any links that you found to be helpful to you!
