Final Review

At the start of class we went over the practice final.  Afterwards we played a game as a means of reviewing for the final.  There is no assigned homework except to study.  Look over the three review packets and the practice final as the test be a similar format.

During review these were the topics which gave students most difficulty and you should look them over before the exam on Monday.

1.  Mixed Number Computation (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing)
2.  Subtracting Integers
3.  Dividing Decimals
4.  Converting fractions to decimals
5.  Finding mean, median. mode and range

Below, I also attached the answer keys to the 3 final reviews and the practice final below, if you want to complete them as a means of reviewing.

Practice Final

In class students worked on making correcting on the three review packets that should be completed at this point.  After all correction were completed, students were given a practice final to work on and the document is linked below. 

Math 6 Practice Final

Final Review (3)

In class we went over some of the questions on Final Review #2.  Afterwards, students were introduced to ratios and proportional reasoning and measured a number of objects around campus.  We will complete the activity on Wednesday.

The homework is linked below.

Final Review #3

Review for Final (2)

In class we played a game of Bingo to review fraction and decimal operations.  Afterwards students were given a review assignment that is to be completed for next class on Prime Factorization, Integer Operations and Coordinate Graphing.  The assignment is linked below.

Final Review #2

*Students must also make corrections on Final Review #1 to receive full credit.

 

Review for Final (1)

In class students were given a checklist that identified all the topics they will have to be familiar with for the final exam and is attached below:

Math 6 Final Checklist

Afterwards, we reviewed how to round, divide decimals and compute fractions/mixed numbers.  Student were given Final Review #1 to complete for next class which is linked below.


Final Review #1

Equation Word Problems

In class students learned how to use an algebraic equation to solve various word problems.  Students were introduced to a let statement which they will continue to use going forward.

The homework is listed below and the notes are attached.

Notes - Let Statements

HW - pg. 91 (1-25)

Multiplication and Division Equations

In Math 6 students learned how to solve multiplication and division equations.  Afterwards, students played a game to review solving one-step equations.

The class notes are attached and there is no homework.

Notes - Multiplication and Division Equations

Addition and Subtraction Equations

In class students learned how to solve one-step addition and subtraction equations.  Remember, to receive full credit students must solve by (1) showing the inverse operation, (2) circling answer and (3) showing complete check.   An example is provided below:

                                                            Solve                                           Check    
                                                      x  +  4  =  12                              x  +  4  =  12
                                                             -4      -4                              8  +  4  =  12
                                                          x     =     8                                     12  =  12


The classwork/homework is listed below and the notes are attached.

CW/HW - Addition/Subtraction Equations

Writing Expressions from a table or for a sequence

In class students learned how to write a variable expression for a sequence.  An example provided below:




                                                                           5, 8, 11, 14.....3n + 2

In the expression above (3n +2) the variable, n, represents the term number so the first term (n = 1) can be found by substituting 1 in for n in the expression   3(1)+2 = 5.   Finding the expression that represents the sequence makes it easy to find any term in the sequence.  So if we wanted to find the the 100th term (n = 100) in the sequence we would substitute 100 in for the n in the expressions  3(100) +2 = 302.

The homework is listed below and the class notes are attached.

Translating Verbal Phrases

In class we worked on translating verbal phrases into algebraic expressions and equations.  Remember, the main difference between an expression and an equation is an equation has an equal sign.  We evaluate (or simplify) expressions and we solve equations.   There are a number of different words that are used to represent each of the operations (+, -, x, ÷) and exponents which are located in your notes.  The notes are linked below:

If you did not complete the homework, you should finish it for homework.


CW - pgs. 56-57 (2-34 even, 35-40)
   

HW - Read pgs. 58 - 59

Math Bingo

In class students played a game as a means to review for the upcoming final.  During class the 6th graders were buddies to the fifth graders.  The homework is to complete the assignment from the previous post for class Monday.

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.

***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.
