It was great to meet many of you at our Meet the Teacher Night last night! Thank you for stopping by!
Grade 8:
The grade 8s have wrapped up their Integers unit, with a quiz on Thursday. The test was broken down by question level, so there was a Level 2 section, a Level 3 section, and a Level 4 section. The levels correspond to the difficulty level of the questions, and so Level 2 questions would give the student a grade of 2 on our 1-4 grading scheme. Level 3 questions would correspond to a 3 grade, etc. Students had the choice to complete either the Level 2 and Level 3 questions, or the Level 3 and Level 4 questions, based on their perceived understanding of the concepts that would be on the quiz.
We will be going over the quiz as a class next week, once they are all marked. Marks will be put up on PowerSchool early next week.
Next week the grade 8s will begin their next unit, which is about operations with Fractions.
Grade 9:
The grade 9 students are nearing the end of their Rational Numbers unit. Students have been asked to compare rational numbers in their different forms, order rational numbers from least to greatest on a number line, and solve equations involving rational numbers using all four operations, including using the order of operations. We will have a review day on Monday with the class, and then the Rational Numbers test will be on Tuesday. After the test, we will begin a short unit on Square Roots and how they relate to Rational and Irrational Numbers.
