This week we are learning about the Associative, Commutative, and Distributive properties of integers. We are also simplifying expressions by combining like terms.
8th graders will participate in a Science/Social Studies camp on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then they will take their STAAR tests over both subjects on Thursday and Friday. Good luck 8th graders!
Finally, Friday, April 27, 2012 is NOT an early release day. This will be a full day due to STAAR testing.

No school Monday, April 9, 2012.
This week 8th graders will be reviewing for and taking CBA #5. This will cover Pythagorean Theorem, Irrational Numbers, Scatterplots, Probability, Measures of Central Tendency (mean, median, mode, range), and Graphs.
LINK for the review.
The end of the grading period is Friday, April 13, 2012.

Week of April 2, 2012
Math students will be in the computer lab each day this week completing their Unit 7 MYP Project. This is a cross-curricular project incorporating Social Studies objectives (Civil War statistics) with Math objectives (using appropriate graphs to display data). This information will be presented using Technology objectives (creating graphs in Excel, researching on the Internet). All students will present their final data in a Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or using other media of their choice.
Final project is due by Thursday, April 5, 2012. REMINDER-School is out Friday 4/6 and Monday 4/9.
LINK for the rubric and guidelines.

Week of March 19, 2012
STAAR test next TUESDAY!
8th graders will take their Math STAAR test on Tuesday, March 27. Please make sure they are prepared by getting plenty of rest the night before and having a healthy breakfast the morning of (remember, breakfast is served for free in the cafeteria).
This week we will be covering data analysis and different types of graphs. Make sure you are familiar with line plots, bar graphs, line graphs, box-and-whisker plots, circle graphs, histograms, and scatterplots.
