May_23 Math 8

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)

And a video to help you remember the formula…

And the homework is page 3 of this attachment: DistanceFormula

Bring homework and questions to class tomorrow!

Math 6_February 6

Today we worked on finding the area of composite (compound) shapes.

We had to know how to find the area of parallelograms (base x height) and how to find the area of triangles (base x height divide by 2).

Hopefully those help a bit.

Our homework due Friday: Covering and Surrounding pg 67 #39
