Assignment for the long weekend

Grade seven, while you are enjoying your Friday off from school, do take some time to visit IXL.com to practice exercises from grade 7 consumer math; this is found under percent application. The questions relating to tax, tips, commissions and discounts will keep your skills sharp.

In addition, please complete, in your composition books, problems 24-33 from page 493 of your text.

You do not need to write the questions out but you do need to properly number your questions and show all working for each response. Simply putting an answer on the page will not be sufficient. Responses should be presented in the same manner in which they were done on the board in class.

Grade eight; please complete the worksheet you are currently working on on multiplication and division of radicals. Remember to rationalize the denominators if they are irrational.

Grade six; work on writing numbers as product of their prime factors, writing numbers as powers and evaluating numerical expressions by using the order of operations. All of these concepts are on the worksheet that you were given to complete over the weekend.

Guys do remember to take a few minutes each day to visit IXL.com so that you can practice to get better.

See you on Monday.

We are back on spot

Sorry guys for being out sooo long. You are all doing a wonderful job of keeping up with your assignments... both in and out of the classroom and that's all I could ever ask for....in addition to practicing and studying hard.

Grade eight please remember to pay close attention to graphing linear inequalities. You need to know which section of your graph will be shaded and whether or not your represention of the inequality will demand that you have a broken or an unbroken line segment. Use your knowledge of graphing linear equations to help you identify the y-intercepts as well as your slopes. I look forward to seeing your completed assignments on Thursday

Grade Seven, in Wednesday's class we will be doing further work with tax and tip. The HW worksheet you are completing on discounts will help you tremendously when you start adding up these bills. Keep working hard and never give up.By the way, I enjoyed your enthusiasm in todays class...you really did a wonderful job with your calculations.
