Vocab this week

Test corrections for Topic 6 have begun and we have a new set of vocabulary words for this week: Rate Ratio Terms of a Ratio Equivalent Ratios Unit Price Remember if you failed the Topic 6 exam you need to get a copy of the test and write your missed questions three times each and work out the problem with the correct answer.

Topic 6 Test Tomorrow

Topic 6 test is tomorrow.  Students should be bringing a study guide home tonight.  All homework from Topic 6 should be turned in at this point.  Lessons 6.1 through 6.6.  Good luck and study hard. 

Changes

Had fun finding percent error today by guessing how many m and ms or skittles are in a jar. The kids might have left with a bit of a sugar rush, but hopefully they saw why percents make ratios comparable across the board. Our vocabulary quiz scheduled for tomorrow will have to be postponed because of an assembly at the high school. We will have our Vocab Quiz on Monday October 22nd. Also, I posted HW 6.6 earlier this week, but I think it was the lesson for 6.6 and not the actual Homework assignment. As of Thursday afternoon I believe I have that fixed. It will be due by Wednesday of next week OCT 24th.

Vocab this week and HW update

Hey everyone, I know that the Digits website was down on Saturday and I apologize if that inconvenienced anyone over the weekend. Remember that online assignments never close so if you couldn't finish one before a due date, just get it done in a timely manner and ask me to update your grade when you have the desired outcome. The important thing is that you get them completed. Vocab for this week include: Percent Equation Percent Error Proportion Percent Proportion Cross multiply and Divide. I will post a picture of good notes later in the week. Have a great week!!!

Great Parent Night, No vocab this week

Tuesday night was a treat to meet some parents and I had a good turn out for those interested in learning about the digits program.  Just wanted to keep everyone up to date on the homework assignment due dates and the fact that there is no vocab quiz this week.  Instead we will have a content quiz that tests your ability to calculate or convert a percent. 

6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 lesson homework should have been completed and turned in by today.  Lessons 6.4 and 6.5 are available for online access and will be due this upcoming Monday October 15th. 

These need to be memorized and be put to use so you can do the percent problems we have been working on in class:

Percent equation

Part = Percent x Whole

Percent Proportion

Is/Of   =   %/100
