Week of 2/1/10

Grades are posted on the PIV and in the classroom.  I haven't completely graded all of the make-up work yet, so please bear with me.  Also, the math journal grades (for 6th grade) will not be entered until next weekend. 

This week, the 6th graders will be continuing working with percent problems by finding the sales tax, discount, and tip.  We will also be reviewing proportions since the Unit 4 Test, which covers proportions and percents, will be this Friday.

This week, 8th graders will continue to factor polynomials.  We will be learning a new method: the diamond method.  The Algebra 1 Unit 4 Test is tentatively scheduled for next week.  However, next week is also the week that we take our Benchmark test, so it may get pushed back another week.  Another option is to take the test at the end of this week.  Stay tuned for details.
