MATH 6 B (Spring 2012) (Period 1 & 2) Assignments

 

I will extend the deadline for the six "7's" project through June 11, 2012. You will be able to earn one-half point of extra credit for each correctly represented number from 1 through 20, for a maximum of 10 points.

Complete the front and back of the practice worksheet. If you need clarification, look in your Triumphs workbook for similar problems.

In Triumphs 5B, complete all items on pages 1-18.

"Explanations" are written in sentences and supported by numbers and symbols.

"Practice" should be completed in the same manner as the examples.

Complete the Scavenger Hunt at the front of the Triumphs workbook (5B) that you got today.

Be sure to bring the workbook to school with you every day, as we will be using it until the end of the year!

Homework for all classes:

 

Use the numeral "5" exactly five times to produce each of the numbers from 1 though 10.

 

You started this in class.

Well, my 7th grade couldn't get this one. I know you can!!

 

Make 24 using all 4 numbers and only one exponent function:

Go to  www.classzone.com

 

Find the textbook for your grade level. Find the home page.

 

Click on "Standardized Test Practice" and take the test.

Retake the practice test.

 

Repeat until you get a score of 70% (which is proficient for both 7th and 6th grades)

Dear parents and Sixth-Grade students,

We have been charging along at a furioius pace since September, not even stopping during winter break. The sixth grade students are, for the most part, doing well. As such, I have not assigned any spring vacation homework for sixth grade.

 

If you feel that review would be a good thing, or if you'd like to preview what's coming up, please feel free! Our next unit re-introduces the concepts of geometry that began in 5th grade. Angles, shapes, area of flat and 3-D shapes, angles, and capacity all come up now, at the end of the year.  A look through Chapter 9, 10, and 11 will give you an idea of the sort of things we will be doing.

 

Have a lovely and restful vacation. Come back recharged!!

Using a scale of 1 cm = 3 cm, begin to scale up your picture fragment.

Only complete the four proportion problems, don't worry about the game grids.

If you would like to know if you are one of those students, you may send me an e-mail.

If you received your Ratio/Proportion/Percentage worksheet back, be sure to complete it and turn it in on Wednesday, 2/15.

Work through the Chapter 6 Review to prepare for the CHapter 6 test on Friday. Begin with two of the odd numbered problems in each section, then check your answers in the back. If you get them correct, you probably don't need to practice more. If you get them wrong, find and correct your mistakes and then do another two. Check in the back . . . . .

 

Please be sure to complete ALL of the word problems in the Review section, as these are what I will probably use for the test.

1. This is a Project problem that should be completed in your journal.

 

Browse through advertisements to find a "big ticket" item (something that costs more than $200)

 

Find the total price including 9.75% sales tax.

 

Find the cost of financing for one year at 4.6% (simple) interest. Add to the original price.

   Find the monthly payments for those six months.

 

2. Be sure to have your Journal and pencils ready for class tomorrow.

The first Homework of the NEW SEMESTER!!! Do it well.

 

Today you learned about SIMPLE INTEREST.

 

Your assignment is to choose any make and model of car and write the sticker price of the car. THEN . . .

Find the price with 9.75% sales tax; find the amount of money you would have to pay back if you financed the entire amount for 4.3%; calculate equal monthly payments on that amount for 5 years.

 

REMEMBER !!! This is not "real life" -- this is financing according to Miss K (for now).

 

You will turn this in on Monday, February 6, 2012, on a piece of paper NO BIGGER THAN 9" x 12" with all of the required information and calculations easily understandable.

 

Have fun!!

We have completed our second day of mid-year tests. Each class has several problems to solve:

1st period:  "Pop Quiz"   "Is That It?"   and "Flower Power"

3rd period: "Pop Quiz"    "Is That It?"   "Flower Power"  and "Coin Toss"

5th period:  "Pop Quiz"   "Flower Power"  and "Indy 500"

 

Although these problems may appear easy at first glance, they are brain teasers! You have all of the skills necessary to solve these -- PATIENCE is also a problem solving skill!

All students are participating in mid-year testing. Today was the first day of this testing, and no homework was assigned for Wednesday, February 1.

Thanks for checking, though!!!

Check the Homework page for 10/4 to see what should be in your Composition Book.

Again, there is no actual homework due today.  We reviewed the Chapter 1 tests, on which most of them scored below a "C," and took some notes on adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators.  We ran out of time before I could assign homework.

 

So, "homework" tonight is to re-study for the Chapter 1 re-take test, which will be on Monday, October 10, 2011.  Students will have a review and study guide to complete over the weekend. No notes will be allowed on this retest, and there will be a time limit of one hour.

 

To study for this test tonight, students should review their notes, their test, and work through the chapter 1 study guide (again) to practice solving problems involving GFC, LCM, prime numbers, prime factorization, and comparing fractions and decimals.
