 Wow what a week.  We have been working hard. 

6th grade has been working on division for the past week.  I think they are finally understanding long division.  We also have discussed order of operations.  They will be having a test next week on division.

7th grade has been working hard with factoring numbers.  We have learned how to find the greatest common factor using factor trees.  We have also learned what multiples are and how to find the least common multiple. 

Pre-Algebra just finished one-step equations and inequalities.  We had our second test this week.  Now we are working on estimating decimals.  We will begin solving equations containing decimals next week. 

Over all things are going well.  I am enjoying all of your children.  

September 11

This week we have been steadily moving along in math.  

6th grade is working on multiplication with 2 and 3 digit factors. 

7th grade is working on adding, multiplying and dividing decimals.

Pre-Algebra is working on simplifying expressions and solving one step equations.  

All classes will be having their second test next week.  

If your student is struggling with multiplication please work with them on their multiplication facts nightly.  

Have a wonderful weekend  

Week 2

 So all of my classes had their first test this week. Overall they did well.  

This week 6th grade started a chapter on multiplication.  We are learning all the parts of a multiplication problem as well as how to multiply several digits by several digits.

7th grade has started a chapter on decimals.  Our test consisted of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  If your child is struggling please review math facts with them nightly. 

Pre-Algebra is plugging away.  We just finished an introductory lesson on integers. We have moved on to learning how to solve one step equations.  We will continue to review integers daily.

I hope all of your children are enjoying being back in school as much as I am.  I have enjoyed getting to know them.
