Book Orders for 2015!

The January book order is coming home in Friday Folders today!  Please note that the class activation code has changed.  This semester Miss Holt is taking care of book orders. :) 

Graphing Ordered Pairs

Today we are exploring x and y coordinates when graphing ordered pairs. This will lay some groundwork for our discussions about distance and symmetry on the coordinate plane next week.

Are you looking for a way to review graphing ordered pairs?  Check out this game!  Another idea would be this game that involves a little more strategy!

Social Studies Timelines!

We have started the Social Studies component of our timelines--hooray!  Students have a white packet with information about the timelines.  This information packet requires a parent signature due and it is due back tomorrow (January 7th).  A list of 10 events for the timeline is on a green paper, and that is due with a parent signature on Thursday (January 8th).  Thank you for your help with this project!    

Absolute Value

Today we started a new topic in Math --- ABSOLUTE VALUE!  Check out this video to learn more about our new topic. :)

Math Test!

There will be a math test on Thursday!  Ask students about the Kahoot!  game we played in class today!

After the test, students who have finished with their squizzle may get an iPAD and click here.   You may browse any of the games on this site.

Activities for Thursday!

Here is the link to the survey to take during Math on Thursday!

Once you are done with the math problem solving and survey, click here and you may browse any of the games on this site while using an iPAD.

  

Opposite of an Opposite

Today we worked on a tricky concept...finding the opposite of an opposite!  Check out our screenshot from our investigation today!

So, if the opposite of 8 is -8, then the opposite of the opposite of 8 is 8.

Another way to write "the opposite of the opposite of 8" using an expression is - ( -8).  Math homework today is the "Opposite of an Opposite" worksheet.
