Class Topics: 12.05.12

In Math Six today, students received their Unit Four quiz.  Once we discussed this assessment and some of the common errors, we moved into Lesson 4-4: Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers with Like Denominators.  Tomorrow's lesson will build off of today's so if you are struggling, please see me at some point in the day.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

1. add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators.
2. add and subtract mixed number with unlike denominators.

For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...

1. complete Math Journal pages 133 and 134.

In Pre-Algebra today, students worked with Lesson 5-3: Triangles and Lesson 5-4: Polygons.  The lessons involved developing algorithms that can be used to calculate the missing interior angles of various polygons.

Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

1. find an unknown angle in a triangle.
2. classify and find angles in polygons.
3. develop and implement an algorithm for determining the missing angle in any triangle.
4. develop and implement an algorithm for determining the sum of the angles of a regular polygon.

For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...

1. complete numbers 15 - 34 on pages 237 and 238.
2. complete numbers 19 - 24 and 35 (a and b) on pages 242 and 243.
