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.

So much work...so little time!

Guys, make sure that you are managing your time well. Too little effort and time is being spent on completing your projects well.

Grade Six..please complete your foldables and take them to me by Wednesday's class. In addition, you need to have ready on Wednesday the problems that were given to you on the worksheet. Please be reminded that you are using the distributive property to solve these questions.


Grade Eight... I have come across some beautifully made math lectures by Julie Harland. Please take some time to browse through her work at yourmathgal.com. You will be glad you did.


Grade Seven, Im looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Please bring your best math brains along with your homework to class  :-)

Keeping up?

Hi guys, are you keeping up?
Guys, you should be buckling down to some very serious work. Before you know it, the midsemester exams will be rolling around and by then the workload will be much greater. Pace yourselves well and seek help when you do not understand a particular concept. Remember you get out of this class what you put in, therefore let us put in the hard work to ensure success.


Grade Eight, you are doing a wonderful job of doing what is required...keep up the hard work(practice as much as you can).
Thank you David for your assistance with class today. Those videos, especially "Teach me how to factor", were awesome. The boys clearly enjoyed them.
Remember to complete your worksheet for Wednesday's class.

Grade Seven...You will be going to the NASHER museum of Art at Duke University tomorrow, come prepared to do a lot of math in addition you have a make up quiz on Friday. Do all assignments and be ready to share your findings with each other.

Grade Six, you did an outstanding job on your first major assignment...keep working hard. Remember to learn your multiplication facts up to your twelve times table for this week's classes.

To each of you remember  "HARD WORK BRINGS TRUE JOY"
This was the motto of the High School I attended back home, maybe we could make it ours...that's if you do not already have one.
