Today we are only having 4th hour class for a two hour block due to continued testing.
4th hour:
Pick up Bell Work sheet and problem of the week sheet.
Do both Monday and Tuesday's Bellwork then we will go over.
Take a pre-assessment on Box and Whisker Plots. After the pre-assessment we will be doing an activity to help you completely understand what Box and Whisker Plots are.
Today you also need to turn in all of Investigation 1 including ACE questions.

Today is a two hour block day due to testing in the building!
First do bell work and then we will go over.
Then we are going to discuss box and whiskers plot. Students are going to be doing an activity today that will consist of finding out your own height in centimeters. Then we are going to line up in the front of the class from shortest to tallest. Height in centimeters for each student will be recorded on a note card.. We will use yarn to mark the median, lower and upper quartiles.
From there we will find the median, lower and upper quartiles of the data.
After the group activity students will need to go back to their seats and write out the information on their own sheet of paper this will be turned in to check for understanding of the activity.
Students will also answer additional questions and check for understanding of median, lower and upper quartiles.

Monday, September 12th
Pick up new Bell Work sheet for the week. Also pick up Problem of the Week sheet... Label the problem of the week sheet as Week 2.....
Go over Monday's bell work
Students will then have 15 minutes to work back in their groups completeing Investigation 1.1
We will discuss investigation 1.1 as a class.
Then we will look over the next investigation which we will be deciding whether a bridge's length plays a role in how much weight it will hold.

Welcome Back 8th Graders!
This is going to be a awesome year!!! Let's start the year off strong:)
Please complete the warm-up first and then hold on to it. Warm-ups will due each Friday and a new sheet will be picked up on Monday.
You will also have a problem of the week that will be picked up on Monday and turned in on Friday.
General items'
Late work will account for only 60percent of the grade the first marking period
0 percent for the second marking period.
You will need to sign the clipboard for tardies as well as sign the reason. The clipboard will also be used for hallway passes.
You will have a folder to keep in the room.
We will be putting together a social contract and will talk about that on Wednesday.
You need to write down the web-site address for class and the blog address.
I expect each day that you will come to class on-time and prepared. When entering the classroom take care of business right away (i.e.getting folder,sharpening pencil,picking up paper, etc)
No pens allowed for assignments and assessments that will be turned in..
Have a positive attitude and always try your best...
Remember if you need help ask.... there is also a folder where you can add topics that you would like to work more on....
Let's have a great YEAR!!! Make it your best since it is the last as a middle schooler:)
