10/31 Happy Halloween

Course 3 Students are wrapping up a neat mini project. This is in place of a Topic 4 Test and has students exploring facts that interest them. They had to find 5 facts that contain really large numbers or very small numbers, create word problems and explore scientific notation in real world context.


Course 2 Students: TEST CORRECTIONS are due FRIDAY 11/4. Directions are on classroom and listed below.

You must do the following on a separate sheet of paper for each incorrect question or problem on the test:

• Number the problem/question and rewrite it, you can skip any graphics; tables, drawings etc.
• Write at least two complete sentences  explaining what your error was and what you need to do to correct it. Write enough to prove that you understand it now.
• Show all work to correct the problem or question and include the right answer.
• You must come and see me at least once to either ask a question or have a concept explained again. I must sign off on your sheet.

Welcome back to Mrs. Diver's Math Blog!

Hello Students and Parents!

 With the 2016-2017 school year a quarter of the way finished I thought I would try something different to reach out to both students and parents.

I will be posting on my blog each week to give a preview of next week's lessons, assessments and other important information.

Keep in mind that I do change lessons daily based on the needs of students so there will be a little flexibility in the preview. Example I might schedule a quiz for Wednesday but end up moving it to Thursday to give the students more time.


10/31-11/4

Happy Halloween!

Course 2: Students will be doing a fun graphing activity on Monday, they deserve a break for working so hard in my class.

We then we be starting Unit B Topic 4 Integers. Students will be spending all of next week adding and subtracting negative and positive numbers. I will be adding in decimals and fractions later, once they have total understanding of operations with integers numbers.


Course 3:
Students will be wrapping up Topic 4: Scientific Notation on Monday. The students will be working on a station activity where they will explore scientific notation used in the real world such as astronomy, bacteria, and distance.

We will then be starting Unit C (my personal favorite!) Topic 5. Topic 5 explores slope, linear equations, and creating lines. This topic is so very important in all of their future math classes so I will be making sure all students have mastered the content.

As always I am available to answer any questions, help with homework, clarify or re-teach lessons at 7:50 in the morning as well as study hall.
