What’s Goin’ On In Room 133

Posts Tagged ‘test’

Colleagues, looks like we had a good review today. 

We covered – and recovered! – knowledge of Properties (Commutative & Associative for multiplication and addition, Identity & Inverse for multiplication and addition, multiplicative property of Zero, and last, but not least…the Distributive Property). 

Then we did a review of our Equations (that’s the two sheets of orange paper with 20 questions on it, sports fans.  Give it a look if you haven’t yet!).  And some of you even received the more comprehensive review packet that starts with the Order of Operations on the front and ends with Equations and Inequalities on the back.   That packet packs quite a punch (try saying that 3 times fast!). 

To help you get ready, spend some time looking over the notes in the review packet and answering some (or all) of the questions in each section.  If you did not get the review packet in your period that means that you have plenty to do with the worksheets you have (above), and the links from this blog to the different sites that we went over in class this week. 

Work on the parts that give you the most trouble so that you’re prepared for anything that comes.  (And that includes doing my online Hot Quiz, baby! – see the post below!)  —Kudos to Sophia, Chrishaun, Olivia, Christina, and Kandace for being the first ones to send in your quiz!  And one other person who got 100% on 20 questions, but failed to give me their name – oh, dear!

On Monday, we will look at Order of Ops, making sense out of verbal expressions in math and then we will dive into reading and analyzing math word problems (the ones you did on page 153, Math 7 colleagues.  And you Enriched Math folks – yours is on page 125). 

Take the time to prepare, Colleagues – it does a body good !

Take up the challenge to make up your grades, Colleagues! 

Some of you need to make up for the score on your Integers Test.  Some of you need the extra practice.  And some of you need the extra credit! 

The review packet (which most of you will get it on Friday) has a lot of good tips and examples – as well as some great word problems.  (Eleven of them on the 7.5 Integers section, as a matter of fact.) 

Come see me and let’s talk about how many you will need to do to make up your grade!  Essayons!

Been a little while, dear colleagues, ’tis true – but my heart has been in the right place, as you can tell from all of the chalk all over everywhere!

We have practiced and studied, discussed and pondered, analyzed, deduced and reasoned for the whole year – and now it’s time to put it all together.  All I can say is – get a good night’s sleep and come in refreshed in the morning.  You’ll be at your best that way, and I certainly cannot ask for more than that.

Good Luck, Colleagues!
