Today in I gave all of my homeroom students a Parent-Teacher conference form. If the time and/or day is not to your liking please let me know what time and day will work for you. I have 2 morning times free each day that week and 2:30 - 4:50 Monday open. Please let me know what time and day works with your schedule. If need be we can have a conference call.
Math 7 will be working in the computer labs these two days.
First students will work with the following website to see how figures are translated, reflected, & rotated. http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/category_g_4_t_3.html Students will answer the "Playing with ..." questions that appear on the right side of the screen.
If the students finish they will log in to http://my.hrw.com/ to listen to the tutorials from chapter 8 section 10. There are a total of four tutorials the students will have to listen to.
I found the following website that has video on how to do some of the constructions I am teaching you about in class. Use it to help you make your constructions.

This other website only gives you written directions and pictures for the constructions.

Math 7 Students need to make sure they are looking over the rules for how to solve integer problems using all four of the mathematical operation each night. Next Tuesday, Nov 13, they will have a quiz over adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers. I will have tutoring that morning at 8:15 so make sure you have a pass to come to my class for Tuesday morning.
The cost of the worktext books are ten dollars so it is important for the students to keep up with this workbook. If the students forget or need a copy of an assignment from the worktext from me I will take 10 points off their assignment.
Both Math 6/7 and Math 7 will be having a test on unit 1 this Friday, Sept. 21. Tomorrow the students will receive their study guides.
The unit 1 test will be on Friday, September 21st.
I hope to have a quiz this Thursday. Please begin reviewing your unit one vocabulary!
