Week of September 8 - 11th

Welcome back from Labor Day Weekend!
This week we will continue our work with CODES. There is a great deal of math involved in encoding and deciphering Secret Code. We will spend the next several weeks revisiting how codes are created and solved. This will increase our skills in using Order of Operations, Solving Algebra Problems, and using Linear Equations.
This week we will take some time to organize our binders (10% of the MP Grade). We will also take a practice 7th grade state test to see what we already know and what we need to work on.
If anyone is having trouble with Order of Operations click on the EXTRA HELP VIDEO Link to the left. There are several sample problems and links to watch a teacher (sorry...not near as awesome as I am) solve similar problems. It's a GREAT resource for students and parents!
We will be going on a field trip on Wednesday to the historic Mt. Hope cemetary.
