SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS!!!
This is some complex stuff, I’m very proud of what we have accomplished so far!
This is the homework on “Elimination” due Monday:
June_6 Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination HW
A short video on solving systems of equations this way:
If you are still feeling a little rocky about “Substitution” here is a video on that
This link has some great step by step examples

We will be working on solving by graphing equations next week, along with several presentations by you and your partners on solving some story problems.
(the A-mazing video we were inspired by in class)
Have a great weekend!
Today we took played Zombie Apocalypse! And took a short quiz on multiplying and dividing decimals (you submitted great test questions! I loved so many of them, it was difficult to choose just a few!).
Here are some of the homework assignments from this week:
May_20 Multiply Decimals Puzzle
May_20 Multiply Decimals Math Face
There is no additional homework – Have a great Memorial Day Weekend
See you Tuesday!
For the last three days we have been exploring “Two Way Tables” and “Two Way Frequency Tables”
Here are a few of the videos we’ve watched with very important vocabulary
And this is a helpful “relative frequency” video

Here are some homework assignments (we turned them in this week)

Does hating math make you bad at it????
Check out this blog post- I found it interesting.
So we went to the mini musical and the deal was you (Math 8 students) would view 1 video and do 4 math problems to be all the more prepared for the Unit Test on Scientific Notation and Exponents.
Here is the video
Gotta love that accent… 🙂
And the problems
Remember if these aren’t completed… dark chocolate is mine!
Today we continued our discussion about operations with scientific notation.
Wednesday we discussed multiplication. Today we talked about division, addition, and subtraction.
Here are the videos we viewed on Wednesday and today:

And here is the homework due Monday: May_9 Scientific Notation HW
Have a great weekend!
Today we continued to work on a project I’m calling:
“I can teach a 4th grader!” where students are working on creating their own lesson plans to teach a struggling 4th grade student how to solve different kinds of problems with fractions.
Today students completed their lesson plans and began to make a poster to display all of their work.
On Monday we will complete the posters (I will be sure to post them!) and then teach mini lessons to other classmates. In the future, I would love to see if we could get some visitors (4th grade-adults) to come be taught by these fantastic 6th grade students!
Here is the homework due Monday: May_9 HW
Here is a video about fractions (I find these on youtube.com so feel free to look up better ones!)
Have a great weekend!
Today we talked about Scientific Notation.
Here is a quick video about how to convert standard notation into scientific…
And the reverse
Also, here is the homework (only pages 1-2): VeryLargeNumbers
See you tomorrow!
Happy Start of the 4th quarter and welcome back from spring break!
Here is the spring break homework packet that we will be reviewing
On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week we have been working on these review worksheets to integrate our skills of “order of operations” with already learned techniques using fractions and decimals.
Today we talked about solving single variable equations in one step.
Here is a video about that…
And here is the math face homework: April 22 HW due on Friday.
See you in class tomorrow!
Today we worked with Scatter Plots!
But, before I go into those fabulous things, here is a video about box-and-whisker plots incase you were gone and need a refresher
And now scatter plots!
Here is the classwork and homework we did: ScatterPlots
And a short video
