Grade 8:
The grade 8 students started their week with a fantastic Field Trip to Riverwatch. The weather was beautiful and it was an awesome day! When we got back into classes on Tuesday, the students began their Fractions unit by making a poster about the rules for adding and subtracting fractions. The poster was due on Wednesday and should now be handed in. To end the week, we introduced the idea of multiplying fractions, and we will continue with this next week as well as introduce the concepts around dividing fractions.
Grade 9:
The grade 9 students continued their mini-unit on estimating Square Roots this past week. We've discussed how to estimate the square root of non-perfect square whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. We finished the week by re-introducing rational numbers and how they can be compared and ordered along with square roots. We also practiced order of operation equations that contain square roots. Next week we'll review the concepts covered over the mini-unit on Tuesday, and we will have a Square Roots Quiz on Wednesday.
Have a great Thanksgiving long weekend Tom Baines families!!
