Labor Day
Happy Labor Day! Hope you enjoy your day off.
Substitute on Tuesday
On Tuesday, I will be at the Santa Clara County of Education attending a math training. This is the first of 5 mandatory training days that I will attend. The substitute teacher, Mr. Kauffman, is a John Muir alum. The worksheet that he will give out requires colors (colored pencils, crayons, or markers). Please make sure to bring your colors on Tuesday. This worksheet will be due on Wednesday.
Pre-Algebra Announcements & Homework
This week, we will be covering the topics of adding and subtracting rational numbers. This includes decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators. While this topic is something the students have seen previously, the Pre-Algebra twist is that the decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers are now positive and negative. On Tuesday, students will be practicing the requisite review skills of adding and subtracting integers and adding and subtracting positive decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers of like and unlike denominators. When I return on Wednesday and Thursday, we will put those skills together to add and subtract positive and negative fractions, decimals, and mixed numbers. Friday is our final quiz for this unit. Our first unit test will be next Thursday, September 15.
Homework for the week is as follows:
Monday (9/5): No School
Tuesday (9/6): Facing Math Worksheet (face + scratch paper)
Wednesday (9/7): WB 2-6 #11, 12, 21, 23
Thursday (9/8): Unit 1 Quiz 3 Practice Problems
Friday (9/9): Problem of the Week #3
