Wednesday December 1st

8th Grade Math: Today in math we finished buying the stocks that we chose to invest in for the next several months.  Students who did not finish this should finish the assignment for homework tonight (due tomorrow at the start of class).  We also studied/gave notes for the quiz that we will have tomorrow over all the strands of "Life Math" we have covered so far.  Included will be paychecks, taxes, housing, and investing (savings accounts versus stock market).
Homework:

  • Review #5 is due Friday
  • Study for "Life Math" Quiz tomorrow

7th Grade Math: In 7th grade math our class reviewed equivalent fractions by working "hands on" with a pizza.  We also finished working on section 4.7 practice which covers converting between fractions and decimals. There will be a test over chapter 4 on Friday of this week.
Homework: 

  • Study for Chapter 4 Test (Friday)
  • Review #5 is due Friday
