On this page I will post homework for math for 203 each night.

Just wrapping up our Geometry strand now. The bonus assignment on Tessellations can be handed in up until the beginning of the day (9:00 am) Thursday.

Presentations for your group of triangles from page 244 (the table) will continue Thursday.

Quiz tomorrow. Homework tonight is to finish the package from Monday and do 2 rotations questions from the text.

We are now into our Geometry strand, which is chapter 7 in the text.

We have covered plotting points on the Cartesian grid, and translations ("slides").

We fill cover flips/reflections and turns early next week.

On Thursday we will have a short quiz! Start preparing now.

We are now onto our Geometry unit. Today we looked at graphing using the Cartesian coordinate system. Report cards are coming soon, so work hard!

Tonight's homework is page 228-229, A-D.

Friday's homework was page 227. I was very disappointed by the number of students who did not have this fnished today.

Wednesday, Feb. 17

Tonight's homework is to review for tomorrow's test.

On Friday we will start our Geometry strand, which is chapter 7 in the text. We will start with using the coordinate grid system.

text 5.4, q. 1-3, 4,6,7,9,11

Text 5.2, questions 3,6,7,13,14

We are going to get through this unit VERY quickly. The test will be on or about Feb. 15.

Thursday, Jan. 21 - Do several of the questions from the Chapter 2 Self Test and the Chapter 2 Review. Be ready for tomorrow's test!

Worksheet 2.6 was homework yesterday. Several people did not complete it.

Today's homework - text page 63, q. 9,11,16,17,19

Chapter 2 test Friday, January 22!

Today's math homework is page 48, #5-10.

No new homework, but most students on last week's overdue work page still have not handed that work in.

Several people have times table pages to complete.

Short "similar rectangles" quiz on Monday.

Thursday, December 10

Please see "Overdue or Missing Work" page for overdue list from Activity 2.1

This was due last Friday, December 4.

Still working on 2.2 - Q. 1-11 should be done by tonight.

Text 2.2 was to be started on Friday. Questions 1-7 are due for homework tonight.

December 4 - As I discussed with parents at interviews last week, we have started working on improving timestables. We are doing a daily 1-minute drill at the beginning of math, and students are charting their scores on a page in their duotang. I am very pleased with the progress I have seen in this area in a few short days! Keep up the good work! Students who still need support with this are taking home a couple of practice pages each night. These do not take very long, and I don't mind if parents monitor and check your children's work on this.

Thanks for your support.

The work from text 2.1 was due in class today. Students were to hand it in before going out for afternoon recess. A few did not. I trust you will have an explanation for me on Monday.

Also for homework is text 2.2, questions 1,2. (page 43).

Study your timestables!

Continue "Do You Remember" - #3-6, at least.

Study your timestables!

Finish the chapter 2 "Getting Started" questions - this is basically the same set of questions whether you did it on the worksheet or out of the text.

Textbook - "Do You Remember", q. 1,2. This is for everyone. (page 39)

After receiving report cards, if you would like to meet with me to discuss math, please set up a separate interview. Feel free to email me, write a note, or phone the office. I did not think of that until the interview forms had been sent home. Thanks.

Math test today, so no homework for the weekend. However, I STRONGLY SUGGEST students start looking at our next chapter, which is Rate, Ration, and Percent - chapter 2 in the text book.

Here is the link to the chapter 5 on-line quizzes. You can also move from there to other chapters.

Wedensday, November 25

Chapter 4 Chapter Self-Test and Chapter Review should be finished up tonight. Test tomorrow!

Tuesday, November 24

No homework tonight, but there will be lots tomorrow, so you can get started on the Chapter Self-Test for chapter 4. Test in on Thursday.

Text 4.5, using Scatter Plots, #5,7,8,11. This varies for people doing the worksheets.

Student Centre. Click this link to go to the Nelson site. You can get help with some chapters, as well as taking the quizzes. You can also check out MathFocus K-9, which is not the book we use but which has some similar lessons.

Most of our lessons have an on-line quiz you can do at home. Here is the link for the grade 7, chapter 4 quizzes. You can also go from here to the other chapters.

Text 4.4, questions 5-10; or worksheet, all questions.

A much better day today, behavior-wise, after a couple of weeks of really poor behavior.

Homework is chapter 4.4, questions 1-4. This involves reading pages 134 and 135, but Mrs. Coombs was going to do that with the class.

Homework for tonight is page 133, all questions.

We have finished the work for 4.3. The groups who did questions 11 and 12 will present on Monday. Students should now be able to extend a pattern and use the pattern to create a table of values. They must also be able to figure out how to determine the value of a term that is beyond the table of values, by using a pattern rule. More on this in 4.4

Most of our lessons have an on-line quiz you can do at home. Here is the link for the chapter 4 quizzes.

Too late at night for today's work, but the homework was a worksheet from 4.2 on continuing patterns and describing patters.

Data Management test tomorrow. See below for the lessons we covered. No homework other than the chapter review and self-test.

Most of 203 was back today, just in time to get geared up for the chapter 3 test! We have now finished this strand, other than taking up a bit of work.

Assessment question Tuesday on Communicating About Graphs (3.7).

Test Wednesday. Students are responsible for the following lessons, beginning in the text on page 80:

Homework for Tuesday night will be completing the chapter review and chapter self-test. Students should be well under way on that now.

Friday, October 30, 2009 - Happy Hallpwe'en!

With all of the illnesses and the absenses that have resulted already, it is difficult to keep all students up-to-date with all of their work. Math is probably the easiest class for students to work on at home. I suggest that if you are away for a couple of days you try to at least do some of your math.

On this page I will also be posting missing work. For this, instead of writing names, I will be using the last 3 digits of your student number. Parents, please be sure to have this number somewhere close by, if you are helping your son or daughter keep up-to-date.

Our first big assignment was the activity 3.1 from the text. There are still 3 students who have not completed this assignment:

On Monday this assignment will be 2 weeks overdue.

Have a good weekend.
