Solving Equations

This week we will be working on solving equations. Its all about balance, like in life, equations have a purpose when both sides equal each other. Be sure to ask for help when you do not understand, and come in for tutoring even if its just for reinforcement. Let's achieve our goal of Level III performance!

Reminder: Algebra I enrichment project due Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Report Card Pick-Up Tonight!

Come on 8th grade! Let's have the most participation! :)

Solving Literal Equations

This week we will be solving literal equations. Students have had to manipulate formulas to solve for different variables before, but this year, we will be using more complex equations that involve multiple variables.

Don't forget: 

On Thursday, we will be taking a school field trip to UTRGV for HESTEC. Remember to get to school by 6:15 am. We will return back to campus by 3:30 pm. 

Coming Up:

1st Six Weeks report card pick-up will be at Peter Piper Pizza from 4-6 pm. Come join us & stay for dinner! :)

2nd Six Weeks

The end of exam week means the beginning of a new grading period. This means we get to start new. Let's continue the good habits and let go of the bad,  and Mark growth in our academics. This six weeks we will be covering several new topics involving geometric figures, starting with surface area and progressing to volume and being able to compare and contrast between the two. We will be working with several hands on math labs to better grasp these concepts. Can't wait! 

Don't forget we have the UTRGV HESTEC field trip coming up,  so make sure to turn in your $5 fee to your homeroom teacher. The itinerary for the day's activities promises to have some very interesting exhibits, so you definitely dont want to miss out!
