Math: Ch. 1 Review Test. (Students take the review as if it was the actual test!) Corrected together in class and answered questions. Students should use this review to study for the test.
*FYI: If a student got 2 wrong or less (an A) on the review, they do not need to take the test. They already demonstrated mastery of the material! The review test grade becomes the actual test grade. Those students will be working on alternative activities while the rest of the class takes the test tomorrow.
Homework: Study for Ch. 1 Test (tomorrow) - Students should use the Review Test from class today along with any notes (notebook), old quizzes, homework assignments to practice problems to prepare for the test.
Looking Ahead! ***WKCE Testing begins Nov. 1!!!!
Thursday: Ch. 1 Test (Translating Expressions, Evaluating Expressions, Properties) Friday: Review of basic integer rules with whole numbers
Algebra: Today's lesson focused on the Real Number System and classifying numbers. We started off class reviewing -a (opposite of), |a| (absolute value), and a^3 (a cubed). We put these terms into our notes along with the three practice problems. We then discussed the make-up of our number system and how numbers can be classified using a Smartboard lesson. Students completed notes with diagrams from the handout and in their notebooks. (The handout will be glued into their notebooks tomorrow.) Real Numbers Notes and Handout.
Homework: Complete Stations 1-3 on each of the operations on Stations wksht. (Will turn this in and go over tomorrow!), 2.1 Real Numbers Practice wksht
Looking Ahead! ***WKCE Testing begins Nov. 1!!!!

Math:
Today was the last day we focused on Mathematical Properties including: Commutative, Associative, Identity, Distributive, and Inverse. We corrected the Whose Property? wkshts (3 worksheets). They then worked with partners to continue practicing identifying and using the properties with a Properties Practice wksht and had answer keys to check their answers. When they felt like they understood the Properties, they then completed a short Properties Review wksht that was set up similar to the quiz. When finished, teacher corrected, and if they did well, they got to start the Properties Quiz. If students did not finish any of the Practice or Review, it became homework and those students will Quiz first thing tomorrow in class.
Homework: Properties Practice wksht and Properties Review wksht. Properties Quiz (tomorrow)

Algebra: Today we focused on Translating Expressions. We warmed-up with an Operation Clue Words Activity. The students, in table groups, had about 5 minutes to match as many Clue words that they could to the correct Operational Word. We followed up, by completing an Operational Clue Words Graphic Organizer that will be put into their Notebooks for future reference. This word list will help students when solving word problems throughout the year. We then, as a class, completed a Translating Words into Math wksht that helped students understand how to take a verbal phrase and identify the different parts to write an Expression. The remaining of class, the students worked on 1.3 Translating Expressions wksht on their own or with partners. Whatever they did not finish in class, is homework.
**Any students who did not perform well on the quiz (last Thurs) or the test, needs to see Mrs. Meyer ASAP so that we can discuss the next steps in order to improve the current scores!
Homework: 1.3 Translating Expressions wksht. Quiz tomorrow.

Today was the last day we focused on Mathematical Properties including: Commutative, Associative, Identity, Distributive, and Inverse. We corrected the Whose Property? wkshts (3 worksheets). They then worked with partners to continue practicing identifying and using the properties with a Properties Practice wksht and had answer keys to check their answers. When they felt like they understood the Properties, they then completed a short Properties Review wksht that was set up similar to the quiz. When finished, teacher corrected, and if they did well, they got to start the Properties Quiz. If students did not finish any of the Practice or Review, it became homework and those students will Quiz first thing tomorrow in class.
Homework: Properties Practice wksht and Properties Review wksht. Properties Quiz (tomorrow)
FYI- Last week, I sent home a blue handout with the students on my Grading and Assessment for my math/algebra classes. Please use this guide when you are looking at Skyward to interpret the scores and especially how a Quick Check is to be interpreted. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me an email!
Looking Ahead! **We will start reviewing for the 2nd District CBA during class/warm-ups next week. CBA will be given on Oct. 19. ***WKCE Testing begins at the end of the month!!!!
Thursday: Properties Quiz. Review for 7 Wk District CBA and take first part of Test Friday: MangaHigh- order of operations focus
Algebra: Today we focused on Translating Expressions. We warmed-up with an Operation Clue Words Activity. The students, in table groups, had about 5 minutes to match as many Clue words that they could to the correct Operational Word. We followed up, by completing an Operational Clue Words Graphic Organizer that will be put into their Notebooks for future reference. This word list will help students when solving word problems throughout the year. We then, as a class, completed a Translating Words into Math wksht that helped students understand how to take a verbal phrase and identify the different parts to write an Expression. The remaining of class, the students worked on 1.3 Translating Expressions wksht on their own or with partners. Whatever they did not finish in class, is homework.
**Any students who did not perform well on the quiz (last Thurs) or the test, needs to see Mrs. Meyer ASAP so that we can discuss the next steps in order to improve the current scores!
Homework: 1.3 Translating Expressions wksht. Quiz tomorrow.

Math: We talked about Mrs. Meyer's blog and found out some students had difficulties leaving a comment. One mistake many students were making was when they were signing into their school google account they forgot the @stu after their name. For example Joe Smith would type in smith.j@stu.janesville.k12.wi.us. (Not a real site, I hope, do not click on Joe Smith please!) I still had a few students who still had other obstacles trying to comment. I figured out the solution today during 4th hour, but it is a bit too complicated to write it all out (it does involve creating a blog account through Google). I will walk through it tomorrow with 2nd hour and am willing to walk through it with individuals after school if they are interested. In the mean time, if they still cannot comment on the site, they can leave me an email letting me know that they have been there, but couldn't comment. My email is tmeyer@janesville.k12.wi.us
EXTENSION!! Mrs. Meyer encourages all students to log-on to mrstmeyer.blogspot.com and to leave a comment so that she knows that you were able to see the site. Any student who replies will get a surprise tomorrow!
Since we just finished our Data Quiz yesterday, we went to MangaHigh today to practice Order of Operations and to check out the blog/troubleshoot.

Today we will continued our lesson on Box and Whiskers. We took a Quick Check to check our understanding at this point. We rated the results on a 5-0 scale of understanding. We then went over each of the 10 questions and had some great discussion on parts that were still confusing us. We then handed back the Data Quiz and answered any questions that they had regarding their grades. Retakes were offered to any student who wants to improve this score. In order to retake, they must talk to the teacher and show them the quiz. Then the teacher will decide what needs to be done to demonstrate understanding of the skills that were missed (can be anything from correcting mistakes, walking through the problem with the teacher, or additional problems). After this, they can retake the quiz and that grade will replace the first one.
ABSENT STUDENTS: Please see Mrs. Meyer ASAP to make up the Box and Whiskers Quick Check.
