7th Grade Math: In math 7th grade students were introduced to section one of chapter two on decimals and place value. After some classroom instruction, students went outside to play an interactive game where they had to quickly match up playing pieces to a decimal presented to them.

8th Grade Math: In math the 8th grade students were introduced to chapter two and equivalent fractions. After some classroom instruction, students went outside to estimate the number of insects on a section of lawn by measuring a small 10cm by 10cm area and multiplying the data by the total area of the lawn. Part two included using the same 10cm square area and determining the total number of blades of grass on the lawn.
Homework: Finish up the insect calculations and do part two for extra credit for Wednesday.
