Ac2E-IT seminars

This week, a group of 6th and 7th graders participated in the AC2E-Interdisciplinary Thinking seminars.  I want to thank each and every student who participated.  We learned about the 4 main types of angles; Wide-angle, Mid-range, Over-the-shoulder, and Close-up.  Here are some of the videos, enjoy!

Week of Nov.4-Nov.8

Six weeks testing is finally here!  It is now the students' chance to show how much they have learned during this short 6 weeks.  The Pre-Algebra six weeks exam is on Tuesday and the Honors Math six weeks exam will be on Thursday.  The students will have study guides for both exams so that they can do their best!

I would like to thank all students who brought a tape measure to school to help us measure the heights of objects using mirrors.  We learned how to use the properties of similar triangles to find indirect measurements.  You can find more information about indirect measurement here: Glencoe Practice on Indirect Measurement.

Next 6 weeks:
Properties of Numbers
Equations
Volume of Prisms
Ratios, proportions, and percents
