Middle School Mathematics, Stafford, Sept 22 - 26

 

Hello to all students and families. You will have a substitute teacher on Friday as the Colorado Council of Mathematics Teachers conference is scheduled this day. I will bring back new ideas and strategies to our classroom.

 

This week we conclude the chapter introducing the basic relationships of plane geometry. The class has a test on Friday over chapter two. We will begin chapter three where we discover basic geometric constructions.

 

 

This week in College Prep Algebra the students continue to work in Chapter 2: area and sub-problems. We study distribution as well as factoring by undoing the distributive property. Additional concepts include order of operations and writing numbers in scientific notation.

 

 

This week in Integrated Algebra we continue our study of integer operations and graphing equations. Specific concepts include: positive and negative integer subtraction and multiplication, the components of a complete linear graph and absolute value of numbers.

 

This week in Algebra II we concentrate on simplifying variable expressions and solving one-variable equations and inequalities and graphing data to understand how the slope of a line can be interpreted in real world situations.
