Grade 9 Math - Equations and Inequalities
So far we have completed in the text:
D- 1 outcome for EQUATIONS
6.1 page 271 # 1, 5-21, 24
6.2 page 280 # 3, 4, 6-17, 19
New!! D-2 INEQUALITIES
Students should have completed:
6.3 in the text pages 292# 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 13
6.4 in the text : Do page 294 INVESTIGATE with a partner
Write out the 2 examples and the RULE from page 295
on some looseleaf in your binder
Assignment - complete pages 298 - 299 # 4 through 16 and
check your answers in the back of the book
Homework check on 6.3 and 6.4 will be done on
TUESDAY, April 12th in class periods 5 and 6.
See below for newly assigned that you can work on if you are done the Homework Check Assignment - no due date yet but you could work on it for 10 minutes!
Start the intro to 6.5 when you are ready on page 300!
6.5 in the text: Pages 305-306 #3-16
After you are done all the exercises AND CHECKED THEM in the back of the book (any ones that are still incorrect see your teacher) you should:
a) Go over the Study guids on page 307
b) Do the unit review on pages 308-309 #1-16
c) Complete the practice test on page 310
We will be having our D-2 inequalities test on Tuesday, April 26th.
It will include questions from C-1, C-2, C-3(Polynomials) and D-1 (Equalities) with one or two of the A and B outcomes thrown in as well.

Grade 8 Science from April 4 - April 29th
LIGHT and OPTICS!
REFLECTION is the word of the week. We are using plane, convex and concave mirrors to beam light everywhere! Here are the hand-outs from class on REFLECTION.
Students are using FRAYER models to map out their knowledge of light and optics vocabulary.
Our first 7 important /phraseswere:
a)VISIBLE LIGHT b) LUMINESCENT c) INCANDESCENT
d) FLUORESCENT e) BIOLUMINESCENT f) PHOSPHORESCENT
g)CHEMILUMINESCENT
Our next three weeks will be spent messing around with various light and optics (phyics) concepts:
We did some THREE POINT APPROACH definition sheets to prepare ourselves for our experiements with and on:
*the spectrum *frequency (of a wave) *wavelength
*refraction *concave mirrors *convex mirrors
*gamma rays (cosmic rays) * ultraviolet rays (UV)
* X-rays *radiowaves
*microwaves *concave lenses *convex lenses
(I may have missed some like.... the law of reflection, angle of incidence, angle of reflection, normal line, additive theory, subtractive theory.....ummmm....oh yeah, amplitude of a wave, crest of a wave and trough of a wave! I think that is almost it!)
Be prepared for some interesting times and ask lots of questions and keep filling in your
CONCEPT MAP and
your KWL (know, want to know and learned!!!)

Grade 8 Math From April 4th to April 29
8-4 & 8-7 - HOMEWORK CHECK is TUESDAY, April 26th....on 6.5 Pages 347-348 #1-9, 12,13,17
If students were unable to apply themselves in class to complete these and did not take on the responsibility to complete them in the evenings for homework, a three-strike rule was followed until the student and myself will call home to discuss a plan for how to start some good habits in practicing their math! :-)
If you are all done your text assignment:
Complete the mid-unit review for a quiz on EQUATIONS in algebra:
Page 350 #1-10
The quiz from 6.1 to 6.5 will be sometime during the week of April 18th.
From Tuesday, April 26 - Thursday April 28th -
6.6 Graphing with tables of value (T-charts) pages 356-357 #1-12, 14
6.7 Graphing linear relations (straight lines) pages 363- 365 #1 - 12
and the REFLECT on page 365 as an exit slip
WHEN YOU ARE DONE 6.1 to 6.7...........REVIEW FOR UNIT TEST!
Complete the UNIT REVIEW checklist and find examples to study from on 370
Complete the REVIEW Questions for the UNIT TEST on pages 371 - 373 #1-22 as needed.
Do the PRACTICE TEST on pages 374-375 # 1-8 (For your information, in the textbook the yellow tiles are positive and the red tiles are negative for question #2. For question #1, just shade in your x tiles and plus one tiles for positive and leave blank -x tiles and blank -1 tiles when you draw them!
I expect the Unit Test on 6.1 - 6.7 to be sometime between April 29 - May 4th.
Previously assigned and should be done in their binders -
