HONORS MATH
THIS WEEK IN MATH CLASS WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRACTICE DIVIDING DECIMALS. WE WILL ALSO BEGIN TO WORK WITH ADDING INTEGERS WITH SAME SIGN AND ADDING INTEGERS WITH DIFFERENT SIGNS. IF TIME PERMITS WE WILL ALSO BEGIN TO SUBTRACT INTEGERS.
REMEMBER TO GO OVER YOUR NOTES ON A DAILY BASIS AND ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU THAT COME SEE ME FOR EXTRA PRACTICE DURING LUNCH.
STUDENTS GO OVER THIS JUMP START MINI- LESSON TO BE READY FOR OUR INTEGERS MATH LESSON:
For example: 2 + 6
Start at 2 and move 6 units to the right.
Since you stopped at 8, the answer is 8
Notice that you would get the same answer if you start at 6 and move 2 units to the right.
Start at 2 and move 6 units to the right.
Since you stopped at 8, the answer is 8
Notice that you would get the same answer if you start at 6 and move 2 units to the right.
Find -2 + 8:
Start at 2 and move 8 units to the right.
Since you end up at 6, the answer is 6.
Start at 2 and move 8 units to the right.
Since you end up at 6, the answer is 6.
Find 4 + -7
Start at 4.
Here the number you are adding to 4 is a negative number(-7), so you have to move 7 units to the left.
After you do that, you will end up at -3, so the answer is -3
Start at 4.
Here the number you are adding to 4 is a negative number(-7), so you have to move 7 units to the left.
After you do that, you will end up at -3, so the answer is -3
Find -2 + -6
Start at -2
Once again, the number you are adding is a negative number(-6), so you will move 6 units to the left.
You will end up at -8, so the answer is -8.
Start at -2
Once again, the number you are adding is a negative number(-6), so you will move 6 units to the left.
You will end up at -8, so the answer is -8.
GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION:
WE WILL BE TESTING DIFFERENT TOWER STRUCTURES THIS WEEK. REMEMBER ENGINEERS ALWAYS WORK TOGETHER AND DECIDE WHICH IS THE BEST SUPPORT FOR THEIR TOWERS IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE SAFE. TEAMWORK IS KEY IN THE ENGINEERING WORLD. YOU GUYS DID A TERRIFIC JOB LAST WEEK BRAINSTORMING DIFFERENT WAYS TO BUILD YOUR TOOTHPICK TOWERS AND I LOVED HOW YOU TESTED DIFFERENT KIND OF SUPPORTS FOR YOUR MINI-TOWERS.
