Alg 1- We have had a very productive week! Most of the week was spent on problem solving strategies. We learned how to dissect word problems and take out the information that was given to us and put it in formulas to solve the problem. Temperature, profit, and distance were the main focus. Next week we will begin working with functions and how to graph them. This will be new material so most of the work will be done here at school where I can help them with any questions that they have.
Geometry- We are moving through chapter one. This week we spent a lot of time working with the midpoint formula and the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane. Next week we will start looking at the different classifications of angles. We will also begin using protractors to measure angles. I have all the supplies here so there is no need to go out and by a protractor.
Consumer Math- We are learning a lot of new material that is going to be very beneficial to the students in the future. Next week we will begin working on mortgages, interest rates, and bank accounts. We are very fortunate to have a local bank coming in to discuss these topics with us. This should be a very eye opening week!!

Another Week Down!
We have completed another great week!
Alg 1: We completed the first two lessons in our text book this week which covered solving expressions and order of operations. Next week we will continue in chapter one working on functions and problem solving skills.
Geometry: After finishing our skills review, we began work in the text book and completed lesson one activites covering points, lines, and planes. Next week we will be continue in chapter one covering segment distances and midpoint/distance formulas.
Consumer Math: We completed chapter two this week. So far we have discussed wages, salaries, commission, tips, taxes, unit prices, and change. Next week we will begin discussing chapter three covering percents and accounts.
PE: Next week students will be bringing home permission slips to particiate in the "Choosing the Best Path" class that will be taught by Shay Lock. This class will run from Aug. 29th - Sept 8th during our normal PE time.

Week 1 Review
We are off to a great start!! Students are working hard and have a great attitude so far! Below is a class by class summary of week 1 as well as a preview for next week. Have a great weekend!
Algebra 1: We completed the basic skills review this week to help us get our brains back in math mode. We also completed lesson 1 in the first chapter which was a review of expressions. Next week we will begin lesson 2 discussing order of operation. We will have a quiz on Friday over lesson 1 and 2.
Geometry: We completed the basic skills review this week and began reviewing for the Plan test that we will take in September. We will continue to do Plan reviews while we jump in to Geometry. Next week we will be doing a basic Geometry review before starting in the book the following week.
Consumer Math: We completed the first chapter this week! During this chapter we discussed wages, salary, and commission. Next week we will continue our unit on budgeting which is where we will spend most of our time this year.
PE: We will be walking 1 mile on Mondays and playing volleyball for a while since it is volleyball season and the net stays up during the season. We will mix in other activities from time to time when possible. Please make sure your child has tennis shoes with them each day because boots, flip flops, and sandals are not allowed.
