FALCONS,


WELCOME TO THE 5TH SIX WEEKS!!



LET'S CONTINUE TO WORK HARD AND PREPARE FOR STAAR ON MAY 9, 2016.

I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME LEFT BUT TIME IS SURE FLYING BY, SO LET'S MAKE EACH DAY COUNT IN CLASS. TRY YOUR BEST NOT TO BE ABSENT AND THOSE OF YOU PARTICIPATING IN THE STARR COUNTY YOUTH FAIR MAKE SURE YOU ARE 100% ON TASK AND DON'T MISS OUT ON ANY SCHOOL WORK. GOOD LUCK OUT THERE!


PLEASE CONTINUE COMING TO TUTORIALS, I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE TOLD ME YOU DID A LOT BETTER ON YOUR SIX WEEKS TEST BECAUSE YOU FEEL TUTORIALS IS HELPING YOU. SO CONTINUE TO COME IN ON SATURDAYS

LET'S MAKE IT AN AWESOME 5TH SIX WEEKS AND DO NOT SLACK OFF!!!

THIS WEEK WE WILL GO OVER EXPONENTS AND WORK WITH PRIME FACTORIZATION.

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING:

Factor Tree

And a "Factor Tree" can help: find any factors of the number, then the factors of those numbers, etc, until we can't factor any more.

Example: 48

48 = 8 × 6, so we write down "8" and "6" below 48

Now we continue and factor 8 into 4 × 2

Then 4 into 2 × 2

And lastly 6 into 3 × 2

We can't factor any more, so we have found the prime factors.

Which reveals that 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

(or 48 = 2⁴ × 3 using exponents)
