Week of December 14th -18th
EVERYONE is Finally done with their Circle Graph about their compelling character! At this point it is ALL exemplar. GREAT JOB!
We continue our work with negatives by playing a game of Cards. It's "I declare War" or "War" except the red cards are negative!
Who wins between a 3 of diamonds and the 9 of Diamonds? The 3 of Diamonds...
For Negative numbers it is the number closest to Zero!
Who wins betwee a 3 of spades and the 9 of Clubs? The 9 of Clubs...
For Positive numbers it is always the number FARTHER from Zero!
Who wins between a 3 of spades and the Queen of Hearts? The 3 of Spades... Positive is ALWAYS greater!
Play the game at home...it is really importand that we get a good understanding of the INTEGER NUMBER LINE!
We will also begin adding integers (using the number line) this week.
EXHIBITION NIGHT is DECEMBER 16th from 6:15 - 8:15...BE THERE!

Week of December 7th - 11th
ACCENTUATE THE NEGATIVE!!!!
We begin our work with negative numbers...It's about time! This week we explore negatives on a number line and compare their values. Why is -500 smaller than -300?
Between what two integers is -6.5? What is an integer? What is absolute value?
All these exciting questions (and more!) will be answered this week.
We will also spend some time taking the RCSD 7th grade benchmark...We are polishing off our Circle Graphs so they will be exemplary pieces of math work. They will be on display for Exhibition Night on December 16th...Plan on attending!

Week of November 30- December 4th
This is the last week of the marking period and it is VERY busy.
We will take all of our survey results and decipher which infomation each group can use to make their character even more compelling. We will work on Circle Graphs for our Proposal Project and for Exhibition Night. Though the graph may look simple, there is a great deal of math behind it! Our final product will count as a test grade for this marking period.
On Friday we will start a new unit on integers...you know...zero, positive and negative whole numbers. Feel free to talk about situations that involve negative numbers...temperature, credit/debt, weight loss.
BINDER CHECKS are this week. Remember, they are 10% of each marking period grade!
