Grade 8:
The grade 8s are a little more than halfway through their unit on Operations with Fractions. They did a quiz on Wednesday where they had an opportunity to show their understanding of multiplication and division of fractions. Next week the classes will practice with word problems and order of operations equations.
Grade 9:
The grade 9 students began their unit on Powers and Exponents, first by exploring what the Power of Zero means and why it equals 1. Then the students were assigned a poster project called Power of Me, where they took their understanding of how the Powers of 10 work to create a visual representation of their height to different Powers of 10. Next week with the classes we will be learning the Power Laws and practicing using them appropriately.
