Each year we identify 3 key outcomes for each grade that greatly represent the foundational outcomes at each level. The outcomes identified are shown below. To help review these concepts the students have been provided with study packages that consist of previous quizzes from class as well as practice review work from the text. We are going over all of these materials in class and video will be supplied of these review. This will allow students a way to review independently using the provided materials on paper, the videos online, and help within the classroom.
In addition: students are being assigned further review materials from the text to help ensure they are prepared for the test next Friday.
The Outcomes Being Represented and
The Textbook Review Materials Suggested
Grade 7 Essential Outcomes
7.N.2. Demonstrate an understanding of the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals to solve problems (for more than 1-digit divisors or 2-digit multipliers, technology could be used).
7.N.5. Demonstrate an understanding of adding and subtracting positive fractions and mixed numbers, with like and unlike denominators, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically (limited to positive sums and differences).
Today we are taking our linear equations from the previous weeks and putting them into action in different formats including tables and graphs.
Note: The video this week was unfortunately erased and so will not be included in this week’s materials. Mr. Ewert is available during morning breaks and is more than happy to assist you to help in any way possible.
Grade 7’s are working on assignment 1.6 in the text and completing numbers 1-8
This week we are revisiting our algebra work to review and consolidate what we were learning prior to Christmas. Students are encouraged to come in for extra help and to watch the additional videos below if they are in need of more help. This week grade 7’s are working on assignment 1.4 in the test and grade 8’s on 6.2. All questions are to to be completed prior to Friday morning with corrections made in order to prepare for the quiz that morning.
Today the Gr. 7’s started looking at adding fractions symbolically with numbers as a follow up to our work the previous week using models. The Grade 8’s are also extending last week’s skills and are working on multiplying fractions using models. See the assignments and videos below.
This week we are getting in to fractions in a big way. Grade 7 will be adding whilst the grade 8s will be multiplying…and as always, we will incorporate the use of models to assist in the concepts.
Grade 7s assignment is below with a video coming soon. Gr.7 will be doing assignment 5.2 – all questions
