Middle School News
Hello Middle School Families,
Hope you had a great, long weekend. Thank you to those who came to parent/teacher conferences. I felt they were very productive and it was great talking with you.
The rest of second quarter is going to go light speed. We have three weeks before Thanksgiving break, then upon our return we have three weeks until Christmas break. Each class will get two more chapters in this quarter.
Class notes
This Week in 7th Grade
We are starting our next unit, ratios and proportional relationships. Proportional reasoning will be a recurring theme for the remainder of the year, and well into next year. We will be doing a big project this chapter. More details on the way.
What are we learning?: How do we identify mathematical relationships?
-
Monday: 5-1 Ratios
-
Tuesday: 5-2 Unit Rates
-
Wednesday: 5-3 Complex Fractions
-
Thursday: 5-4 Converting Rates
-
Friday: 5-5: Proportional and Nonproportional Relationships
This Week in 8th Grade
We will continue Slope and Linear Equations.
What are we learning?: Can we find the slope and y-intercept if we are only given one point on a graph? Is there a relationship between slope and parallel or perpendicular lines? What happens if x and y switch places in a function?
-
Monday: 4-1 Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
-
Tuesday: 4-2 Point-Slope Form
-
Wednesday: 4-3 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
-
Thursday: 4-4 Scatter Plots and Lines of Fit
-
Friday: Review Quizi for lessons 1-4
Giving up on getting summer back, students try to use a Jedi mind trick on me so I tell them the answers.

Have a great week! ~ Rich Wuebbels
So, you talked throughout the lesson and now your math doesn't math.
Other Reminders:
Students must show all work in their homework journal to earn any credit.
Just remember Google Classroom is where everything is at. Your child's passwords are all on the first page of their planner so please feel free to copy those down and peek through their accounts often. Here is a video on how to navigate Google Classroom: https://youtu.be/qoOe3ir5iqQ
IXL grading is a little different from other assignments. A 90% "smart score" in IXL is equivalent to 100% in FastDirect. Anything over a 90% is worth up to one bonus point...they add up so I encourage students to try it (especially on the easier assignments).
Regular chapel can be viewed live on our Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-agaQWl4BGu9bEAh1TbgQ, or on our Facebook page.
Each student's passwords are found in the student planner. Here you can find IXL, email, and DeltaMath
