*Retakes on questions that were incorrect the first time (on a new test). Students had to show knowledge that they knew material the second time around
Students scored pretty good for having all the topics for the year on one test. They were given their test back with the types of questions they need to study. They will retake Thursday to increase their scores for their final post test grade.

a2 + b2 = c2 (a & b are legs of a triangle, c is for the hypotenuse...longest side)
Plug in legs or hypotenuse (the two that are given)
Square the numbers
Solve for the missing side (variable) by square rooting both sides
Ex: solve for hypotenuse (c)
42 + 52 = c2
16 + 25 = c2
41 = c2
41 = c2 (square root both sides to get rid of the squared on c)
6.4 = c
Ex: solve for a leg (a or b)
82 + b2 = 102
64 + b2 = 100

Topic 11: Reasoning in Geometry (working a lot with angles and triangles)
Test today
HW: any missing work
IXL: Q.3, Q.4, Q.6, 7th grade P.9, 5th grade B.13
Skills: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Transversal line: a line that goes through 2 or more lines
*Corresponding angles: two angles that are in the same position on the diagram (ex: bottom right)
*Alternate interior angles (opposite interior): two angles that are on opposite sides on the INSIDE
Finding the degrees of many angles, given an angle
*Using our different angles definitions to prove (angle 3 is 55 degrees because it is corresponding to angle 7 which is already 55 degrees)
Finding the missing degree of an interior angle of a triangle
Interior angle you have 180 degrees = angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3
Write equation...plug in the two angles given and then solve for the third (solve for x)
Example 180 = 39 + 45 + x
180 = 84 + x
-84. -84
96 = x
Finding the missing degree of an exterior angle of a triangle
Add the two angles opposite inside.

*Transversal line: a line that goes through 2 or more lines
*Corresponding angles: two angles that are in the same position on the diagram (ex: bottom right)
*Alternate interior angles (opposite interior): two angles that are on opposite sides on the INSIDE
Finding the degrees of many angles, given an angle
*Using our different angles definitions to prove (angle 3 is 55 degrees because it is corresponding to angle 7 which is already 55 degrees)
Finding the missing degree of an interior angle of a triangle
Interior angle you have 180 degrees = angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3
Write equation...plug in the two angles given and then solve for the third (solve for x)
Example 180 = 39 + 45 + x
180 = 84 + x

There are many students that are not taking seeing the importance of correctly doing the daily journal. Many are skipping problems, not taking notes when skills are taught, asking questions or even writing down the correct answer when reviewed every day. Their scores are not increasing when journal checks are pulled (lowest score they can recieve is a 5 and that is if they answer 1-2 out of 9 questions correctly). These skills are needed to be successful in the 7th, 8th & high school curriculum. I will be pulling a journal check again this week and may be calling/emailing some parents to see if students can stay after every Tuesday or Thursday to be retaught these important skills.

Topic 6 Systems of Equations
Students did the study guide and color coded the mini steps, asked questions and worked on their homework if it was not completed.
Students need to make sure they are studying and understanding how to follow the note cards. We went over the mini steps numerous times and not writing down the steps to follow.
Solve for x (always add equations & then divide to get x by itself)
solve for y (plug in x, solve the parentheses, add or subtract, divide to get y by itself)
They will follow these steps for every single problem (many of the steps are what we did in Topic 2 in which the majority of the students passed )

Topic 5 Linear Equations
Attached are the two skills the students are suppose to have written down and I have cut out many mini graphs for a student to make an example and paste it to their note card. Directions are given throughout the packet with problems to practice on. The students are trying to memorize the steps and not follow the steps on the note card. Make sure they label the two skills so they know which notecard to look at for which problem. Also they have to know where the slope & y-intercept in the equation is located...this was a mini quiz and a few students still have not retaken for more points after many prompts.
Today we did progress monitoring and practiced questions for the test.
Students will need to come with questions for tomorrow (NOTE CARDS READY TO GO)
Test: TOMORROW
HW: graphing packet (for those that did not turn it in) and any missing assignments that I pointed out to them today
Skills: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Graphing an equation
Start with the y intercept and plot the point, find the rise over run (rise is up or down, run you go to the right) and draw/loop this from the y intercept to create your second point. Connect the two points to create a line.
y= (rise/run)x + (y-intercept)
*Linear equations (not proportional) y = mx + b
*Being able to look at a table and graph to tell if it is proportional
Graph: straight line crossing through (0,0)
Equation: y=mx (m= any number)
Table: y divide x are all the same outcome/number
*Find the slope of two coordinates using a formula
y2-y1/x2-x1
(2, 4) (4,-6) ---> -6-4/4-2 ---> -10/2 ---> -10 is the rise and 2 is the run on a graph
* Slope: draw an L connecting the two coordinates (count how many you rise & how many you run) Rise/run for the slope. The see where the line crosses over the y-axis...this is your y-intercept
IXL practice: W.1, (Alg)S.4, V.7, V.9-12

Today we did a math interest inventory & organized all our IDs and passwords for websites & tools that we are going to use throughout the year.

Math classes: Today we did a 'Getting to know how we work in math' worksheet & pre test for the year
Today I announced to the students that I am going to be gone after Spring Break. I am expecting my second child. :) I will have an awesome long term named Gloria Hendrix. She has had tons of experience being a guest teacher and has subbed for me many times in the past. The 8th graders are very familiar with her and the 7th graders will see her and meet many times before my leave. She is great with my students and will do a tremendous job finishing our the year.
If you have any questions or concerns about the transition for your child when this time approaches, please feel free to contact me through phone, email or even at conferences in November :)
