Week 29 - Pre-Algebra Project

Climate Surveys
On Thursday, I passed out Climate Surveys to each student. This must be completed in pencil. The first three classes to have 100% turn in will receive ice cream from the administration. It is best to complete the survey together (parents & students).

Blog Readers Prize
I'm just curious to see how many of my students are reading the blog.  If you are a student reading my blog, write me a note with  your name on it and this week's secret blog word: raspberries.  Also, don't tell others the secret word.  However, you may tell them how to find the secret word.  The first five students will receive a prize.

6th Grade Announcements & Homework
This week we will be continuing our study of probability.  We will be using tree diagrams to show all of the possible outcomes and then list them in ordered pairs.  We will also calculate the probability of disjoint events (e.g. rolling a 5 OR a 6) and independent events (e.g. rolling a 5 AND THEN a 6).  Homework is below:

Monday (3/28): Probability Worksheet Part 1
Tuesday (3/29): Probability Worksheet Part 2
Wednesday (3/30): WB 8-5 all
Thursday (3/31): Quiz 15 Practice Problems
Friday (4/1): No HW (Quiz today)

Pre-Algebra Announcements & Homework
This week we will be working on a geometry shapes project.  Students will become experts in a two-dimensional figure and the related three-dimensional figures.  The project is due on Wednesday at the beginning of class.  On Wednesday, we will take a practice test in preparation for our final unit test on roots, exponents, and geometry, which will be on Thursday.  Homework is below:

Monday (3/28): Shapes Project
Tuesday (3/29): Shapes Project
Wednesday (3/30): Benchmark 5 Practice Problems
Thursday (3/31): No HW (Test today)
Friday (4/1): Unit 5 Test Corrections
