6th Week of the 5th Six Weeks

MATH BENCHMARK!!!

Make sure to go to bed early on Sunday night, and have a good breakfast in the morning.

We discussed how having a positive attitude is very important. When you get here on Monday morning I want to here you talking about how you're going to pass the test and go for a level III!

I am very proud of how far you've come, and I want you to try your absolute best.

Remember to use your reference materials, and use process of elimination.

5th Week of the 5th Six Weeks!

Last week was a very busy week with open house and the pep rally, but we powered through and learned about mean, median, mode, and range. We also discussed dot plots and box plots. 

This week we will continue with box plots and also discuss circle graphs. 

TUESDAY: STAAR WRITING
WEDNESDAY: Reading Benchmark

Please come to school especially on those two days. Attendance is very important!

Below is a video that summarizes box plots and how to create them.

Week of March 20-24, 2017

WELCOME BACK FROM SPRING BREAK!

It was a much needed restful week, and I hope you come back prepared to continue learning new lessons. This was also the perfect opportunity to catch up on missing assignments if you had any. Remember, progress reports are coming up, and I don't want anyone to fall behind.

If you need extra help, make sure to ask for a lunch pass!

This week we will be refreshing our memories with calculating the mean, median, mode, and range from a data set. This will help us as we continue on into comparing data from dot plots and box plots.

REMINDERS:

Open House- Wednesday 3/22 from 4-6 PM @ AC2E MS

Turn in missing assignments

Attendance is imperative!

3rd Week of the 5th Six Weeks!
I am very proud of the progress we've made since the beginning of the new year. We have managed to learn so much in such a short time. 

Continue to come in during lunch to finish assignments or for extra help. We are slowly getting closer to our state assessments, but first we will have our benchmarks.

The math benchmark will be administered on April 3 (MONDAY), which is about a month away. Attendance is imperative, if you must absolutely be out make sure that you come in during lunch to catch up ASAP.

Spring Break is coming up, so make sure all late/missing assignments are turned in before that.

Monday: Volume Task Cards
Tuesday: Introduce Surface Area
Wednesday: Surface Area Stations
Thursday: REVIEW Volume and surface Area
Friday: S.A. Puzzle

The video below is a great introduction to surface area.
