Good Snowy Wednesday Morning,
In math class today we are going to be taking part 1 of a 2 part test on chapter 6. I divided it into 2 days as the work solving the problems can be time consuming and I wanted to make sure you have the time to do the whole test. SO today, we are doing 1/2 and tomorrow the other 1/2. You may bring in any notes or calculator you need.
Homework: Review the second part of the chapter
FYI:
* Progress Notes need to be signed and returned to teachers asap
* Stocking stuffers for our young lady needs to be in by Friday

Good Thursday Morning to all,
What is the probability that we will be having an early release today? What about coming in tomorrow with all the sleet forecast?
Well until we are dismissed, we will be covering circles and their properties. What is the relationship among the radius and the diameter and the circumference? How do you estimate and then use the formula to figure out problems with circles? Bring in your math materials including a calculator and we will plow through this material.
Homework: Classzone chapter 6 section 4 eworkbook
In the event we do not meet tomorrow- have a great Friday.

Good Wednesday Morning,
After looking over the homework comments from last night, I am glad we are still on solving inequalities. I am hoping that with another night of practice, it is becoming more of a rhythm. Let me know in class how you think this concept is going for you. Also, was breaking down the steps of WORD Problems a help to you? Let's review this: read the problem, pull out the math, box in the question asked, work the problem out, and finally, make sure the answer does indeed answer the question boxed in. We will continue on with dismantling word problems so they are not so scary.
Homework: pages 274-275 # 24, 25,26,38,48
In tutorial today, the makeup test is offered. Your ticket to this retake is attending yesterday's white board Tuesday.

Wow it is Wednesday! Good Wednesday morning to all,
Sorry about not having a blog up on Monday or Tuesday. It was nice getting a few comments on the lack of the blogs from you folks.
I was happy with the turnout on Whiteboard Tuesday. This extra help will continue on every Tuesday throughout the year. You may come for the whole time or just to get a questioned answered.
In class we are still working on solving 2 and more step equations!! In addition to balancing equations, using negative integers, fractions, we now are working with the Distributive Property( Double Multiplication). Are you getting the rhythm? From what I see and hear in class, it does seem that most of you are catching on. Let me know if not. We will continue to add onto the foundation we have now.
Homework: Page 274 #16-34 all
Have a great day,

I will be collecting the signatures from parents on the last test. This is the first grade of Quarter 2, so I hope all of you did it.

Good Wednesday Morning,
How is it going with solving 2 step equations? I hope you understand the steps. From what I see walking around, it is coming right along. Today we will go over the homework and get right down to translating words into numbers and symbols when we WRITE out equations. We are getting ready for the test Tomorrow. This will cover solving and checking both 1 and 2 step equations as well as writing equations. If you are still uncertain about the material, I am available this tutorial and tomorrow morning.
Homework: Practice some problems on your own.
FYI:
* Magazine Drive continues on
* Spirit Week- today is vocabulary word - Thursday is Crazy Hair Day - Friday is PJ Day
* Quarter 1 ends this Friday- 2 days from now!!!
Have the best Wednesday ever,
Mrs. Charle McAtee

Good Monday Morning,
Hope all of you had a restful weekend. Are you ready to start the week? I hope so.... because we are off.....
In math class we are moving to the next step in solving equations, we are going to do the 2 step equations! Yeah Yeah, this is built up on the foundation of solving the 1 step equations. I am sure all of you could see the pattern building. I think this part will be a cinch.

Good Friday Morning,
From the amount and voice of the comments, I believe that you have a solid handle on the foundation of solving 1 step equations. Congratulations as this is not an easy concept, but rather on the more difficult side- the work got harder but you got smarter!!! way to go class.
In math class we will indeed go over the homework (page 111 #9-20 and page 115 #5-16) and make sure we are rock solid on solving and CHECKING equations. After all questions, I want you to preview solving 2 step equations.
Homework: Enjoy your weekend.

Good Tuesday Morning,
In math class we will be going over the homework and getting to all of the questions you may have. Then, we will move onward to EQUATIONS. A new format for this is expected and you will find an example of the Rectangle Format in your flip book on Formats and Standards. With equations you are solving for the unknown, and that is generally the letter. We will move on with this for several months as this is one of the main concepts in 8th grade math.
Homework: page 30 #6-32 even numbers( and yes, the word problems!)

Good Wednesday Morning,
In math class we are taking another mini test on chapter 5 - this time with the 4 operations with Decimals. The little twist with this computation test is that there are Negative Integers to confuse the matter. So be careful with the details. You may bring in your notes and please use them. Here's to clear and detailed thinking for today.

Good Tuesday Morning,
In math class we will be looking over converting fractions to decimals and back. Hope this was more of a review than a new concept for most of you. make sure you bring in any questions you have to class so we can clear up the fog. After correcting the homework(pages 244-245 even #), we will move onward to adding and subtracting decimals. The trick to this is that you are lining up the decimal points using negative and positive integers!! So revert to using the flip book if necessary. Negatives are NOT going away from now on, go get used to them now!!!!
I will be collecting the test signatures on Chapter 5 test.
WHITE BOARD TUESDAY is today. Come in for help on fractions, negative integers and review for the retake test on Wednesday.
Homework: pages 249-250 #12-54 Even
FYI:
* Conferences are this week
*Progress Reports are due back with parent signatures(give to homeroom teacher)

I hope your weekend was totally enjoyable and you are rested and ready to start the week.
In math class, we will be going over the continued work with fractions and how they are connected to decimals. How do you turn one into the other, what is a rational number, what is a terminating decimal, and repeating decimal? As you can see, there is a fair amount of vocabulary attached to this concept.
Homework: pages 244-245 # 2-48 even #
You will also get your test back on = - x / fractions today. We will go over the work, and then you need to have your parents sign the test.
***** If you need to retake this test, you must come in during tutorial tomorrow,10-7-08, and review with me. Then you may take the retest on Wednesday during tutorial. Check with me today if this does not work for you.
FYI:
*Progress Reports go home today. Get these signed and returned by Tuesday.
*Conferences are this week. Get your assigned time in asap.

Good Thursday Morning to all from my home,
As you have figured out, I am not there today, but things are to go on with the test anyways. I will be back tomorrow and find out that ALL of you were doing what is expected of you.
In math class, you are to take the test on + - x / fractions with negative integers. This is open notes, so feel free to use them and do your very best. Do all your work on another paper, put the answers on the test, make a comment about the test, and pass in the test to the sub.
NO HOMEWORK!!!! Yippee!!
Pass in the conference time sheets to your homeroom teacher asap.
PROGRESS REPORTS come out this Friday.
Have a great day and stay dry,
Mrs. Charle McAtee
PS Thank you for the comments on how you are doing in class. I need to hear when you are struggling on concepts, but also that a certain thing helped, as in WHITE BOARD TUESDAY. And no, I did not forget to write a blog on Wednesday. The internet was down all day and I could not get to it. Sorry.

Oh Happy Thursday,
Did you all enjoy your extra few hours away from school? I hope so.
Today in math class we are moving onward with working with fractions. Today though, we start using unlike denominators. Another step to add to the process, but with the strong foundation you have already, this should be a cinch. Remember we are still using all of the rules of OOO(Order Of Operations), Positive and Negative Integers, and of course, the fraction rules. Hang in there as we will get though this. You do have to have a strong grasp of this as it is NOT going away. Trust me, pretty soon, most of you will not dread working with fractions!!
Homework: Practice 5.2 # 1-9 all
Have the best Thursday today ever,
Mrs. Charle McAtee

Good Wednesday Morning,
And what a Wednesday it is for you- 1/2 student day. Yippee!!!
In math class we will review the homework on fractions with common denominators. This isn't as easy as it implies, as we are involving using negative numbers and variables in the mix of fractions. After our review, I want you to jump onto the classzone.com Chapter 5 and practice on your laptops.
I also will be checking in on the parent signatures for your last test. Remember this is anohter way to allow your parents to know what your progress is in math.
Homework: Review on classzone.com
Have an earned extra time off today.
Mrs. Charle McAtee
PS It is so nice to see that you are checking in through the blog when you miss class. Keep up the extra effort McKenzie.

Good Tuesday Morning,
Today in math class we are continuing on with addition/subtraction with fractions. This is somewhat of a review on fractions, but the twist is using fractions and negative signs together. This puts a whole new spin on the lowly fraction.
We will go over the homework (practice 5.1 3 #1-24 all) and make sure we cover most if not all of the questions concerning these.
Today during tutorial time(after lunch) there will be a WHITE BOARD TUESDAY time for those who need more practice with integers(positive and negative numbers) and fractions. We will be doing the homework, so this will help all of you get that done. All of you are invited to come. You need to bring in your book, paper, flip books, pencil and most of all, an open attitude.
You will also get your last test back on + - x / integers. We will review these in class and you must get these signed by your parents/guardians.
Homework:
Parent Signature on test.

Good Monday Morning,
Happy 1st day of fall!!! I hope your weekend was the best yet and you are ready to start a new week of learning.
In math class, we are going to review the 4 operations using fractions!! I know this is a much needed review, so we will move through this at your pace. ( For those of you who do not need this review, there is other work for you to concentrate on). Today we will look into both adding and subtracting fractions making sure the denominators are the same as well as mixed numbers. A lot to cover, so make sure you are ready to learn when you walk in today.
Homework:
Practice 5.1 #1-24
The tests you took on Friday will be passed back tomorrow in class as there are several students who still need to take the test. On the whole, everyone scored very good.
So, Lily, What is the Golden Ratio?
Make this a great day for yourselves,

Happy Friday Morning,
Today we are going to be taking a test on integers, both the positive and negative using all 4 operations. This is an open note test so come prepared with those. Do your very best paying attention to all the details involved.
I appreciate the comments a few of you students made to let me know if you are ready or not for this test.
Homework: Enjoy your weekend.
FYI: There is a new form going to sent out to parents if there is any missing or late work in math during the week. You will need to fill out the assignment missing and the reason for this. On Fridays, any of these will be given to you to have your parents/guardians sign. On Monday, you need to return the form with all the completed work listed. This is another way to update parents on your progress in Math. I will go over this today in class. Hopefully, most of you will never use one of these.
Have a restful weekend,
Mrs. Charle McAtee

Happy Wednesday,
It is picture day, hearing and eye screening day, NWEA testing day and WEDNESDAY. So with all the interruptions of this day, we will try to get to some math! In class we will go over the homework (practice 2.5 even #) and make sure all the fog is cleared up concerning the 4 operations using negative integers.
In addition to the homework, you will be presenting a brief overview of your graphs on the GDI test scores.
Homework: Page 78 and 79 all. ( make sure to follow the hw format).
We should be ready for the test on Friday covering all 4 operations (= - x /) with integers. This will be an open notes test. Come in to see me if you have any questions at all. I am available early mornings before school, tutorial time, class time, and after school if you make an appointment with me.
Make up tests on the last test will be TODAY.

Happy Tuesday Morning,
In math class we are moving on with learning about positive and negative integers and how that fits with the operations. Hope this is going well for most of you at this time. This is a foundation to working with solving algebraic equations in the near future. After we correct the homework (practice 2.4 even #) and go over any questions remaining, we will work on the last operation, division using integers. Then there will be class time for your group graphs using the data set of the GDI test scores. Two graphs, mean ,median, mode, and range for the data set is needed per group. You may use the laptops to create these, as well as hand done. What makes a good graph?
I will be checking for signatures on that test today also.
REMEMBER that the makeup test for the PRACTICE 2.3 C test is today and Wednesday's tutorial time. If your score was 80 or less you must be here for this retest.
Homework: Practice 2.5 even #
Group graph project due Wednesday.
Have a wonderful day.

Good Monday Morning,
Hope your weekend was restful and productive so that we have a great start to this week.
In math class we will be reviewing the steps to solving problems with positive and negative numbers. Most of you did a bang up job with this, but some need another review, so we will do this in class. We will also review the rules for multiplying and dividing integers. I find these operations easier to remember than adding and subtracting integers. What about you?
You will be getting these papers back today and you do need to make sure you find your mistakes and then correct them. Also, for those of you who need a makeup test, you may do this on WEDNESDAY during tutorial(after lunch).
As a group and using the test scores on Practice 2.3C, I want you to make:
1. A stem and leaf OR a box and whisker plot (pick one)
2. A bar gram OR histogram (pick one)
INCLUDE the mean, median, mode and range and labels.
Homework: Practice 2.4 even numbers only.
Parent signature on the test. (EVERYONE is to do this, most of the time this becomes BRAGGING time for you!)
Enjoy your day.
Mrs. Charle McAtee
PS SOmeone asked me on the comments if we are having math in the NWEAs- the answer is Yes. DO your very best.

Good Monday Morning,
Today is the day- It is Animoto time!!! We are welcoming "the Awesome Dawson" back to teach us how to put the finishing touch on our slide show on graphs. I hope you all have a great time with this part of the project. I can't wait to see the finished shows.
There is no homework in math today but look over the next section in the book on Order of Operations(OOO). Tomorrow we will review one of the most important concepts in math and that is THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS. Without this, there would be chaos in math. When do we use the OOO? Why do we have the OOO?
We should be able to step into the the world of Positive and Negative Integers by Wednesday, so refresh your memory on this also. But don't worry, we will cover this fairly extensively as this is the foundation to solving most equations in Algebra.
Hope you brought in your memory stick as you should need this today.

The agenda for the day will be to continue on with the animoto slide show on types of graphs. How is that going for you? Let Mrs Dawson or myself know so we can adjust the pace or try to help you with a particular situation you may be having. Remember the date for this to be done is after Friday's class.
Today we will talk about how graphs can be skewed to look ways that are favorable to your outcome, as in advertising.
Homework is to continue working on this project.
Also, I welcome your comments on this blog, but I want your first name on them or they will not be published.
FYI:
Did you remember your storage sticks for class? How about the dress code for your book?
Are you coming in to the OPEN HOUSE(Thursday ar 6:30-7:30) tomorrow?

Good Tuesday Morning,
I hope your long Labor Day Weekend was restful and you are ready to go today. I am so looking forward to having Ms. Dawson come into math class today and tomorrow and help set us up with some technology.
The agenda for the day will be to use this new technology in interpreting graphs (bar graphs, line graphs, histograms, scatter plots, box and whisker and stem and leaf plots). When do we use graphs, why do we use these, are some graphs better to use for different information than others, what makes a good graph, and how would use use graphs to mis- represent your information. Along with the vocabulary associated with graphs: mean, median, mode, frequency tables, data set, you will be making slides to make this meaningful.
SO.... on your team graph, you need to make 12-15 slides for Project 1.1
The last slide should be Work Cited-make sure you copy the url (cite)as you take from the internet
The first slide should be an introduction of the project on graphs
- Who team is and period (First names only)
-What project is about- ( types of graphs)
- What makes a good slide(labels, equal increments,etc)
- How are the graphs related? ( line and scatter)
The 2-8 slides should be( in any order): Include examples and vocabulary (data set,mean, median , mode, range, frequency table)that pertains to graphs.
Line graphs
Bar graphs
Histogram
Pie
Box and Whisker Plot
Stem and Leaf Plot
Scatter Plot
Slide #9 is a conclusion - summation about your project.
-What did you learn
- How can graphs be skewed to reflect your needs
Slides 10-15- Creative Parts-Strut your stuff!!!
Make sure that each partner in the team has all the new information daily.
Due Date is this Friday(September 5) at the end of the class!
Flash Drives are going to make this easier to work at home and in partners, so bring one in daily.
Have a great day and can't wait to see you in math class.

SO.... on your team graph, you need to make 12-15 slides for Project 1.1
The last slide should be Work Cited-make sure you copy the url (cite)as you take from the internet
The first slide should be an introduction of the project on graphs
- Who team is and period (First names only)
-What project is about- ( types of graphs)
- What makes a good slide(labels, equal increments,etc)
- How are the graphs related? ( line and scatter)
The 2-8 slides should be( in any order): Include examples and vocabulary (data set,mean, median , mode, range, frequency table)that pertains to graphs.
Line graphs
Bar graphs
Histogram
Pie
Box and Whisker Plot
Stem and Leaf Plot
Scatter Plot
Slide #9 is a conclusion - summation about your project.
-What did you learn
- How can graphs be skewed to reflect your needs
Slides 10-15- Creative Parts-Strut your stuff!!!
Make sure that each partner in the team has all the new information daily.
Due Date is this Friday(September 5) at the end of the class!
Flash Drives are going to make this easier to work at home and in partners, so bring one in daily.
Have a great day and can't wait to see you in math class.

Good Thursday Morning,
Here's to a good second day of your 8th grade year!! hope yesterday was more than you expected. Today in math class we begin. Your book will be given to you and will need to be covered asap. Remember there is a dress code in class!!!
How many of you got onto this site? Hope you share this with your parents also.
Did you turn in all of your forms to your homeroom teacher? I especially am interested in the pink laptop form being filled in so we can start using the laptops on Tuesday. It is a big day for us in math as we have the guest speaker coming in and setting us up on some technology that we will be using in class. If you did not bring in the form today, please make sure you do so by Tuesday morning or you will be an onlooker rather than a dooer in class!!!!
Have a great LONG weekend and I'll see you back rested on Tuesday!

Welcome to the GREAT DIAMOND ISLAND TEAM!!!! It is such a pleasure having you here, your new home away from home.
Every day I will be blogging to you about the agenda for the day and other note worthy events happening in Math and/or the GDI team, so tune into this daily. I welcome your comments, but I do want you to include only your first name with it. I read these several times a day and will reply to yours.
We will be passing out endless number of forms for you and your parents to read and sign. Please do so asap and return all of them to me. Schedules will be filled in as well as locks and lockers will be passed out today. If you get a bottom locker, take heart as half way through the year, we switch! Fair is fair. Along with forms and more forms, we have a guest speaker coming in. His name is Mr Rolfe and he is a regular in Mr Wilkinson's science classes. We then will go to lunch. After lunch, we will have a mini schedule for the afternoon. We will be following the MONDAY schedule even though today is Wednesday. Go figure!
Homework:
*ALL forms signed and returned, esp. the laptop forms as we are using the laptops on this coming Tuesday.
* Bring in some reading materials for SSR. Anything of your interest is allowed, but you must bring in something by Thursday.
* Cover your books.
Also,
HAPPY FIRST DAY and Hang on for a GREAT YEAR!
