Monday Madness is here!
I spilled boiling hot coffee on me first thing today and all over our kitchen counter to kick things off. However, life goes on and here we are.
HOMEROOM
We didn't cover any new topics but brought up a few announcements:
1) Our focus in conversation is sagging a bit. We need to be mindful of good online communication. Keep texting relevant to the speaker and part of the conversation of the class.
2) Online etiquette involves turning on your mic to talk and participate. Turning on your camera is still a bit of an issue for some folks. If you need to step away that is fine but get out of the mindset that you have your camera off during the entire lesson. If we were at school under normal circumstances your face would be available to look at. That should be the same with online learning or our communication just lags and isn't as good as it should be.
3) I will no longer be calling you up in TEAMS to join the class. Unless you are new last week then I will give your more grace. At this point, you should have finished your calendars in Office and show be getting to your classes on time.
4) Getting caught up- We have 1 hour and 45 minute learning blocks for Math. The class will not last 1 hour and 45 minutes. When class is over, you should have time to either stay on and ask questions, get help or complete the tasks on your own independently. We are avoiding giving you homework in this way so you can excel at your artistic talents. Please use the time to get caught up.
Assignments to finish:
1) Your calendar should be done and submitted in Unified for Getting Organized
2) Your interview and research assignment should be turned into Unified on Wednesday
MATH
7th Grade: We went back into Khan Academy NEW Skill 7.EE.B.4 to see where our comfort level is now since we have been building up NEED skills. We are finding the writing expressions from a story still to be a challenge but we will continue to work on that.
Today I again modeled "metacognition" with the challenging question for our NEW skill by using Paint 3D and drawing my thinking one word, phrase or sentence at a time so I can have a clearer picture in my mind what the question is calling for. After following this strategy, you can usually see how to solve it.
Assignments to finish:
1) all 5th grade U.1 skills should be done (late)
2) all 7th grade S.6 skills should be done (if this is hard, starting asking for help)
3) all 7th grade S.2 skills should be done
Today: Work on the 1 Khan Academy Question posted in Unified
Today: IXL Skill 7th Grade C.6 (NEED)
8th Grade: We also went in Khan Academy NEW Skill 8.EE.B.5 to see where our comfort level is since building up NEED skills. We mostly found ourselves confused and much of the metacognition stuff I was modeling came down to understanding how to read a slope first and calculate it. This is a NEED skill now. So, in order to tackle the NEW, we still have a few things to sort out first.
Assignments to finish:
1) all 3rd grade U.1 skills should be done (late)
2) all 7th grade S.6 skills should be done (if this is hard, starting asking for help)
3) all 7th grade S.2 skills should be done
Today: Work on the 1 Khan Academy Question posted in Unified (NEW)
Today: IXL Skill 7th Grade C.6 (NEED)
Wednesday IXL Skill 7th Grade V.2 (NEED) solving for slope, we will start our discussions in class Thursday based on how you do with this on Wednesday.
**SEE BELOW THE NEW SKILL QUESTION**
7th Grade
NEW 7.EE.B.4
At the beginning of the season, MacDonald had to remove 555 orange trees from his farm. Each of the remaining trees produced 210 oranges for a total harvest of 41790 oranges.
1) Write an equation to determine the initial number of orange trees (t), on MacDonald's farm.
2) Find the initial number of orange trees on MacDonald's farm.
***For this question, draw your thinking, come up with an equation and solve.
This question has 3 parts.
Each part is worth 5 points.
8th Grade
New 8.EE.B.5
The unit rate of change of y with respect to x is the amount y changes for a change of one unit in x.
The table below represents a proportional relationship with a constant unit rate of change of y with respect to x.
Which describes a greater unit rate of change of y with respect to x, the equation y=7.6x or the table?
| x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
| y | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 |
Choose 1 answer:
A
The table
B
The equation
C
The unit rates are the same.
8th Grade your question has two parts. 1) solve the answer A, B or C to the best of your ability.
2) Draw your thinking as you go and submit your drawing so we can see your metacognition skills for solving these kinds of problems.
Each part is worth 7.5 points each.
