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.

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:

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.
