Where has the time gone.  Third quarter is almost over.  Please check RenWeb to see if your student is missing any work. 

Pre-Algebra has just finished Chapter 6 and are starting on equations with variables on both sides.

7th grade has started working on discounts, sales tax, and commission. 

6th grade is working on multiplying fractions and decimals.

Hope everyone is enjoying the longer days.

Valentine's Day

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day.   Remember there is no school on Monday.  

Next week Pre-Algebra will continue with solving rational equations when given the variable and combining like terms with rational numbers.  

7th grade will be working with percents.  We will be finding the whole, the part, and the percents.

6th grade will be finishing their chapter on geometry and we will begin reviewing for our test.   

I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend.

February is coming

Wow.  The weeks just keep flying by.  Don't forget The Fun Run February 14th.

This week 6th grade has been working on our geometry chapter.  We have taken lots of notes.  We discussed the different types of angles this week as well as rays.  Next week we will begin discussing polygons.

7th grade finished multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers.  We have started rational numbers.  We have worked lots of problems where we have had to simplify rational expressions.

Pre-Algebra is also working with rational numbers.  This week we have added and subtracted rational numbers in the form of fractions and decimals.  We also started multiplying rational numbers.  Next week we will begin division of rational numbers.

End of 2nd Quarter

WOW.  We are half way done with the school year. 

6th grade has been learning to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers.  Next week we will be starting a unit on geometry.

7th grade has been multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed numbers.  Next week we will have a quiz on this.  We will then begin a section on rational numbers.

Pre-Algebra has been working with rates, ratios, and proportions.  Next week we will have a test on Chapter 5 and will begin working with rational numbers.

Welcome back

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Break.  We have started back in full swing.

Pre-Algebra is busy working with rational numbers.  We have begun comparing rational numbers.  We have learned how to convert from a mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa.  We are also learning how to convert a rational number into a decimal.  Next week we will continue with rational numbers and work with ratios.

7th Grade is still working with fractions.  This week we have been multipling and dividing fractions.  Next week we will add in multiplying and dividing by mixed numbers.

6th Grade is working hard on adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with common denominators.  Next week they will begin adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. 

Don't forget we are out of school on Monday, January 20 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Merry Christmas

I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  I hope everyone has a wonderful break.

December

Only a few weeks until Christmas.  Wow this year has flown by. 

Sixth grade is working on fractions.  We are making improper fractions into mixed numbers, mixed numbers to improper fractions and making equivalent fractions.  We are also learning several ways to compare fractions.

Seventh grade is also working on fractions and we have begun adding fractions with like and unlike denominators.

Pre-Algebra is solving inequalities and getting ready to start Chapter 4 which involves Number Theory.
