Alg 1 - For the past 10 weeks we have spent a majority of our time learing how to solve equations and we are now graphing equations and functions. This is all new material we have taken our time to make sure we all grasp the concepts. We will coninue working on this the remaining of the year since being able to solve equations is essential in Geometry and Alg II.
Geometry - We have just completed our unit on circles. We are now focusing on finding the area of polygons.
Consumer Math - We have completed all book work for the course. The past three weeks we have been preparing for the upcoming Compass test that will be taken on March 26 and March 27. For more information on the Compass test please contact Mrs. Boaz.
6th and 7th Period Rotations - We will be preparing middle school students for the state K Prep test coming up by reviewing math skills. This will continue for the next four weeks.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving break. Only three weeks left in the 9 weeks once we get back. That also means only three more weeks until Christmas!!!!

Mid Nine Weeks
We have come to the mid point of the second nine weeks. You should have gotten your child's progress report at test score analysis night. If you did not please contact the school for a copy.
Alg 1: We are continuing work with equations. We have moved from one and two step equations toe multi step equations and inequalities. We will continue going through and computer generated program called Algebra School that takes us through lessons with examples and practice problems. I feel we are making good progress.
Geo: We just finished up working on slope and linear equations. We struggled with this a little so we had to take a little more time that planned. We will frequently review this concept to make sure we don't forget. We are starting chapter four which deals with triangle rules.
Consumer Math: Just finished up our unit on food and math. We worked on calculating calories from fat grams, buring calories, and counting calories. We will start chapter 7 Managing a Household next week.
PE: We are back in the gym and back to our normal routine.

Oct 24th-28th
Alg I- We are working on multi step equations this week and since this is a new concept for us we will be taking our time to make sure we master this before we move on. So much of what we do from this point on requires a mastery of this concept so we can't go on until then. Students are working hard!
Geo- We are finding the slope of lines on a coordinate plane and writing equations for lines on a coordintate plan. We will continue this for the rest of this week and possibly the first of next week if we need a little more time.
Consumer Math- We are about half way done with our budget project. Students have chosen a location they want to live and their career choice. From this information we have calculated their estimated monthly net pay. We will are working on our monthly budget based on our calculations.
PE: We will be finishing up our Choosing the Best abstinence course this week and will resume regular PE in the gym next week.
Happy Halloween!

2nd Nine Weeks
Alg 1: We are getting into new material! We are currently working with two step and multi step equations. We will spend a great deal of time on these concepts since they are a very key part of everything students will do from this point on in math.
Geometry: We are working with the cooridinate plane. Finding the slopes of lines and graphing equations are the two big concepts we are working on.
Consumer Math: We are starting our Budgeting unit. During this unit we will explore careers, career locations, monthly salaries, and monthly budgets. This will be a very beneficial until and will cover much of the time between now and Christmas.
PE: We have begun our two week. abstinence class. You will be seeing nightly worksheets to complete with your child. Please sign the sheets so your child can get credit for them.

End of the First Nine Weeks!
Believe it or not we have already come to the end of the first nine weeks. We are off to a great start! The intensity in the math classes will pick up as the material will become more and more challenging. PE will start with an new rotation class. Parents be looking for PE permission slips and Choosing the Best permission slips that will be coming home the Monday we return.
Hope everyone has a great Fall Break!!

Weekly Update 9/23
Alg 1: We spent most of the week preparing for our test that we took today (test grades are on Infinite Campus). Next week we will to over the test together and make sure we clear up any questions. We will also be starting chapter 3 which will cover equations. We will work on one and two step equations. We will go a little deeper into this concept than we have in the previous years so some of this material will be new. Most of the assignments will be done in class so I can help them with any problems that may come up.
Geometry: We took our chapter test and went over it the first two days of the week (test grades are on Infinite Campus). They rest of the week has been Plan testing and the Career Fair. Next week we will begin chapter 3 working with line pairs and angle pairs. The first part of the chapter will reviewing concepts they have already had so we will move through it rather quickly I hope.
Consumer Math: We spent most of the week working on "Thank You" letters to the staff at FCB for coming and working with us. We reviewed banking concepts and took a quiz over thoses concepts (quiz grades are on Infinite Campus). Next week we will begin doing book work over the concepts FCB talked to us about (writing checks, check registers, credit cards and debit cards).
PE: We didn't get to do much in PE this week due to Plan Testing and the Career Fair that were both held in the gym. Next week is our last week of PE for this group. We will do various activites each day. An Army repersentitive is coming Tuesday to do some activities with us that should be fun!
