Where we're at

WOW...it's 4th quarter already!

Algebra is just beginning chapter 7. We will be taking a look at properties of exponents and polynomials. We should finish this chapter about 2 weeks after we come back from break.
8-2 is working on the Geometry chapter. We are currently exploring different symmetries and transformations. After break we will connect this to congruence of figures.
7th graders have just begun the Algebra chapter where we are learning the basics of linear relationships in forms of equations, tables, and graphs. After break we will formalize the ideas of linear functions and learn how to solve equations with variables.
