7th Grade Has a Test This week Over Angle Measures this Wednesday!
This Wednesday, 7th grade is stepping into the Angle Arena! 🔥 After measuring, calculating, and unlocking the secrets of complementary, supplementary, vertical, and adjacent angles, it’s time to put those skills to the test. They’ve been sharpening their protractors and training their brains, and now they’re ready to prove they can find the missing measure like geometry detectives! With confidence, focus, and a little math swagger, they’re prepared to tackle every twist and turn that comes their way. Let’s go, 7th grade — it’s your time to shine from every angle! 📐✨
8th Grade has a Test This Week
8th grade—it’s go time! 💥
The test over multiplying and factoring polynomials is here, and this is your moment to show what you’ve got. From mastering the art of FOIL to breaking expressions down like a pro, you’ve been building the skills—and now it’s time to put them all together.
This isn’t just a test, it’s a chance to prove how far you’ve come. Stay focused, double-check your work, and attack each problem with confidence. You’ve done the practice, you know the moves—now go make it happen.
Let’s finish strong! 📈
8th Grade is Tackling All the Parts of Solving Quadratic Equations
📣 8th grade is diving headfirst into the world of quadratic equations — where math gets bigger, bolder, and way more exciting! 🚀 From factoring to finding roots, they’re learning how to crack equations that curve, twist, and challenge their thinking in all the best ways. Every solution they discover is like unlocking a hidden level in Algebra, building confidence with each step. These aren’t just X’s and numbers on a page — they’re puzzles waiting to be solved, and 8th grade is rising to the challenge with focus and determination. The parabola era is in full swing! 📈✨

This Week in 8th Grade
What's up with quadratics? They bend. They curve. They create parabolas. And sometimes… they give us two solutions instead of one.
Over the next few weeks, you’re going to learn four different ways to solve these equations: by graphing, factoring, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. Each method is like a different tool in your math toolbox — and by the end of this unit, you’ll know exactly when and why to use each one.
This is where algebra levels up. This is where patterns connect. This is where you start thinking like a true problem-solver.
Let’s find those roots and see just how high we can make this parabola rise. 📈🔥
What are we learning?:
-
How can one quadratic equation have multiple solution methods, and why do they all lead to the same roots?
-
What do the solutions of a quadratic equation actually represent in real-world situations?
-
How does the graph of a parabola reveal the solutions of a quadratic equation?

7th graders trying to use a jedi mind trick to talk admin into another snow day.
Me, calling for my lost SmartBoard Pen.
Have a great week! ~ Rich Wuebbels
So, you talked during the whole 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
