Grade 8:
This week the grade 8s completed their unit on Percent, and did a quiz on Wednesday to show their understanding of how to calculate percent of a number, and to determine the tax and/or discount on an item. To end the week we introduced our next unit, volume, by having the students build rectangular boxes out of paper. They then measured the dimensions of the boxes to calculate volume. Next week we will continue to work on finding the volume of different three-dimensional shapes.
Grade 9:
The grade 9s are in the middle of their Polynomials unit. We've practiced adding and subtracting, and introduced multiplying and dividing polynomials this week. We have been using models as a way to represent the operations with fractions that we have been practicing. Next week we will wrap up the unit on Polynomials with a test on Thursday.
