This past week the students learned about rates. The definitions for rates and unit rate can be found on pages 55 and 56 in the text book. The students looked at the example on pages 56-57 and completed the Show you know on page 57. They then completed Example 2 on page 58 before turning the page for the solution. They also completed the Show you know on page 58 and reviewed the key ideas on page 59. Finally, the students completed practice questions p. 60 #7-9 and p. 61 #10-15. Next week we will look at proportional reasoning. A quiz covering ratio, rate and proportional reasoning will occur at the end of next week or early the week after.
This week we began learning about ratio. The assignment today was p. 51-53 (#5 c and d, #6-15 and #17-18).
The students must all purchase a scientific calculator. They will not be allowed to use their cell phones as a calculator after this week. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]. |
