Evaluating Algebraic Expressions

In class students were introduced to basic algebra.  We discussed the following vocabulary words that students should be familiar with and be able to identify:  variable, constant, coefficient and term.

Below, the homework assignment is listed and I have attached the class notes.


Notes - Algebraic Expressions

HW - Read pgs. 50-51
          Complete pgs. 52-53 (1-27)

***Because of the dance concert and other activities, I will give you time in class to complete the homework.***

Quiz - Perimeter and Area

In class students took a quiz on perimeter and area.  There is no homework.

Composite Shapes and The Area of a Circle/Quiz Review

In class we reviewed how to fins the perimeter and area of various polygons.  Students learned that they only have to remember a few formulas for area because all polygons can be broken up into rectangles (A = lw) and triangles (A = 1/2 bh).  Students also learned the formula for circumference (C = 2πr  or C = πd) and the formula for the area of a circle (C = πr^2).

The Quiz review is attached and the quiz will be on Friday, April 24th.

Quiz Review - Perimeter and Area

Measuring Perimeter and Area

In class students completed a task that required them to measure the perimeter and area of a number of different object using a ruler.  The front side of the paper required students to use metric unit (decimals), while the back side required students to measure the objects using customary units (fractions). 

For homework finish the assignment which I have attached below.

CW/HW - Measuring Perimeter and Area

Area...of Square, Rectangle, Triangle, Paralellogram and Trapezoid

In class students learned how to estimate area and find the area of the following object using formulas: square, rectangle, triangle, parallelogram and trapezoid. 

The notes are attached and the homework is listed below.

Notes - Area

HW - pgs. 536-537 (11-20)
          pgs. 542-543 (8-26 even)

Perimeter and Circumference

In class students reviewed how to find perimeter of various polygons and the circumference of circles.  Students also learned how to use formulas to solve problems involving perimeter and circumference as an introduction to solving algebraic equations.

The notes are attached.

For those absent or who did not finish, the classwork is as follows:

CW - pgs. 508-509 (8 - 15) and pgs. 514-515 (7 - 11)



HW - Perimeter and Circumference

Quiz - Angle Relationships

In class students took a quiz on angles relationships.  Afterwards, students reviewed perimeter.

There is no homework, have a nice break!
