Benchmark Testing this Week

This week your child will take their 2nd Benchmark test. Please make sure they get plenty of rest and eat a good Breakfast at home or remind them to eat at school. 

Term 3 Week 1

We will begin solving equations with variables. Please make sure your child completes his/her homework each night. 
 

Standards

EE 4  Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). 

EE 5 Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true. 

EE 7 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q, and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.

Vocabulary

  1. Addition Property of Equality      
  2. equation                        
  3. inverse relationship                        
  4. Subtraction Property of Equality
  5. Dependent variable                      
  6. independent variable   
  7. Multiplication Property of Equality
  8. Division Property of Equality      
  9. inequality                      
  10. solution of an equation

Nov. 30- Dec. 4th Evaluating Expressions Handouts

Handouts for this week's class will be accessible through Google Classroom under the Classwork tabs. 

Nov. 9-13

We will begin a new topic this week. We will start learning about numerical expressions. New vocabulary words are in their binder as of Monday. We will test on them next week. Please make sure your child is keeping up with their materials listed on the Binder Check Contents list. Binder check will be next Friday. 

Week of Oct. 19-23

We will look at positive and negative numbers on a coordinate plane and also adding/subtracting positive and negative integers.
VOCABULARY TEST TUESDAY!
TEST FRIDAY!!
 
 

Oct. 12-16

This week we will begin Topic 2- Integers and Rational Numbers. 
Learning Objectives 
  • Two numbers with opposite signs, such as 5, and -5, are equidistant from 0 on the number line.
  • Number lines may be displayed horizontally or vertically. This does not affect a number’s value.
  • 0 is the point at which direction or value changes.
  • The opposite of an opposite of a number is the original number.
  • The coordinate plane is two number lines intersecting at 0, effectively called the x- and y- axes. 
  • As such,  the coordinate plane extends infinitely
  • The further left a number is from zero, the more negative (smaller) it is.
  • The further right a number is from zero, the more positive (larger) it is.
  • When comparing any two numbers on a number line diagram, the number to the left is always smaller if the number line is oriented from left to right.
  • The further a negative number is from zero, the smaller the value.
  • The further a positive number is from zero, the greater the value.
