Update on Math Magic and Talents! 9/15/11

Math Magic 7 - Everyone is doing a terrific job getting ready for the Unit 1 test next Tuesday.  We have been working with scatter plots and box and whisker plots.  Fun Friday tomorrow!

Math Magic 8  - Unit 1 test corrections are done and we are busy working on square roots.  We are learning our perfect squares from 1 - 25 and working on estimating squares.  There will be a quiz next week in Math 8. 

Talents - We have had a fun week playing pictionary and learning about communicating effectively.  We will be working towards a demonstration speech for next week.  It is always fun to see what your interests are and share with the class.

Great things are going on in Math Magic!

7th grade - we are working on multiplying and dividing with decimals.  To build our confidence with our multliplication facts, we have created flash cards and are implementing our own games of "Beat the Clock!"

Keep it up!  I am so proud of the efforts that I am seeing in class.  :)

Happy Friday!  What a great week we have had settling into a new year.  We have learned a little about each other, practiced what is going on in math class, and had a great time.  Since Friday is a special day in our class, we really celebrated today.  Fun Friday is a tradition to give us a reward for our hard work all week, Dice Day and finally the Friday Dance! 

Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday!
