In eighth-grade math class, we are beginning to review for the chapter 6 test which is next week covering linear functions. Students should be completing the assigned study islands to help them do better on these . . .
As the upcoming break nears, we are trying to stay focused in eighth-grade math class. We just finished a unit on angles this week and began a unit on linear equations where students graph and . . .
Things are finally beginning to normalize in eighth-grade math class. We are presently reviewing for our first test to be taken next week which comes after midterm grades. This means that the midterm grades will not truly . . .
We are reviewing for MAP testing in eighth-grade math class. I am doing some lessons reminding students what they have previously learned and students are practicing released items to help prepare. . . .
It is amazing how time feels like it speeds up as soon as we get to March. In eighth-grade math class, this week we are testing over chapter 7 which covers square and cube roots. We immediately jump into chapter 10 . . .
Prior to this past week out of school, eighth-graders took a test over linear systems. For those who did not do well, we were going to review during study skills or outside of class and make arrangements to retest. This . . .
We continue to move forward in eighth-grade math. In the regular eighth-grade math class we started last week our unit on linear systems. We will learn to solve by graphing, solve using substitution, and solve using . . .
I am occasionally asked, “Why do I need to learn this?”. My response is often “To graduate from high school so you can pursue your dreams”. I remind students that there is more to learning than . . .
It is difficult to believe that we are actually finishing the first quarter already. In eighth-grade math class we are in the middle of our third unit, transformations. I think we would all agree that our . . .
We have finally tested in all classes, so a student should have a really good idea on how he is doing. Any struggling student should seek out help in understanding the material. I am available before and after school if additional help is . . .
In the eighth-grade math classes we are finishing our first unit. Two of the three classes will test on Friday which will be reflected on the midterm grades. The other class is slightly behind because of the fair so the . . .
Students and teachers usually desire scheduled school breaks, but the break we are experiencing now is not wanted. Here at Putnam County, we are trying to adapt our learning to these undesirable circumstances. To . . .
In eighth-grade math class, we just finished a unit on systems of linear equations. Students wishing to retest over that unit are welcome to review with me and retake the test by the middle of next week. We have moved on . . .
We are almost to the end of our first week in math class. All eighth-grade students are completing a two-day pretest for the course this week. As soon as this testing is done, we will begin our first unit on solving . . .
In eighth grade math, we are working to be ready for the upcoming MAP testing in a week. We are spending our class time reviewing major concepts. Students are practicing released items and problems on study . . .
In the eighth-grade math classes, we have not quite finished our unit on graphing and writing linear equations, so we will pause for the holidays and resume the same unit when we return. Concepts were assessed . . .
I am not sure which is harder to believe--snow on October 15 or that it is already time for parent-teacher conferences. I am looking forward to visiting with many parents of my students. It is . . .
We have completed a couple of "firsts" in 8th grade math class. Students have had their notebooks graded for the first time so, hopefully, any misunderstandings have been cleared up . . .
Katika darasa la nane la hesabu, tunaanza kukagua kwa ajili ya mtihani wa sura ya sita ambayo ni wiki ijayo kufunika kazi linear. Wanafunzi wanapaswa kuwa kukamilisha visiwa vya utafiti waliopewa kuwasaidia kufanya vizuri juu ya haya. . . Kadiri mapumziko ya karibu yanavyokaribia, tunajaribu kukaza fikira kwenye darasa la darasa la nane la hesabu. Katika kipindi cha wiki iliyopita, tulikuwa na somo la pembe na tumeanza somo la linear equations ambapo wanafunzi waliandika graph na graph. . . Hatimaye mambo yanaanza kuwa ya kawaida katika darasa la darasa la nane la hesabu. Kwa sasa tunakagua kwa ajili ya mtihani wetu wa kwanza kuchukua wiki ijayo ambayo inakuja baada ya maksi ya katikati ya muhula. Hii inamaanisha kwamba alama za katikati ya muhula hazitakuwa kweli. . . Mtihani wa MAP wa darasa la nane la hisabati Wanafunzi wanajifunza mambo ambayo wamejifunza hapo awali na wanafanya mazoezi ya vitu vilivyotolewa ili kusaidia kujitayarisha. . . . Ni ajabu jinsi wakati unavyoonekana kuharakisha mara tu tunapofika Machi. Katika darasa la nane la hesabu, tunajifunza juu ya sura ya 7 ambayo inashughulikia mizizi ya mraba na ya mraba. Sasa tuendelee na sura ya 10. . . Kabla ya wiki hii iliyopita nje ya shule, wanafunzi wa darasa la nane walichukua mtihani juu ya mifumo ya linear. Kwa wale ambao hawakufanya vizuri, tulikuwa tukipita kupitia ujuzi wa masomo wakati wa masomo au nje ya darasa na kufanya mipango ya kupima tena. Hii. . . Tunaendelea kusonga mbele katika hesabu ya darasa la nane. Katika darasa la kawaida la darasa la nane la hisabati tulianza wiki iliyopita kitengo chetu juu ya mifumo ya mstari. Tutajifunza kutatua kwa graphing, kutatua kwa kutumia uingizwaji, na kutatua kwa kutumia. . . Nyakati nyingine mimi huulizwa, <unk>Kwa nini ninahitaji kujifunza jambo hili?<unk>. Jibu langu mara nyingi ni <unk>Kuhitimu kutoka shule ya sekondari ili uweze kufuatia ndoto zako<unk>. Ninakumbusha wanafunzi kwamba kuna mengi zaidi ya kujifunza kuliko. . . Ni vigumu kuamini kwamba kwa kweli tunamaliza robo ya kwanza tayari. Katika darasa la nane la hisabati tuko katikati ya kitengo chetu cha tatu, mabadiliko. Nadhani sote tunakubaliana kwamba . . Hatimaye tulijaribu katika madarasa yote, kwa hiyo mwanafunzi anapaswa kuwa na wazo nzuri sana juu ya jinsi anavyofanya. Mwanafunzi yeyote anayepambana anapaswa kutafuta msaada ili aelewe habari hiyo. Mimi ni inapatikana kabla na baada ya shule kama msaada wa ziada ni. . . Katika madarasa ya darasa la nane ya hisabati tunamaliza kitengo chetu cha kwanza. Madarasa mawili kati ya matatu yatafanya mtihani Ijumaa ambayo itaonyeshwa kwenye alama za katikati ya muhula. Darasa la pili linaendelea nyuma kwa sababu ya maonyesho ya maonyesho. . . Wanafunzi na walimu kwa kawaida hutamani mapumziko ya shule yaliyopangwa, lakini mapumziko tunayojionea sasa hayakutakiwa. Hapa katika Kaunti ya Putnam, tunajaribu kurekebisha kujifunza kwetu kwa hali hizi zisizofaa. Kwa. . . Katika darasa la nane la hisabati, tulimaliza tu kitengo juu ya mifumo ya equations linear. Wanafunzi wanaotaka kufanya mtihani tena juu ya kitengo hicho wanakaribishwa kurekebisha na mimi na kufanya mtihani tena katikati ya wiki ijayo. Tumeendelea na maisha yetu. . . Karibu tufikie mwisho wa juma letu la kwanza katika darasa la hisabati. Wanafunzi wote wa darasa la nane wanakamilisha mtihani wa siku mbili kwa ajili ya kozi hiyo wiki hii. Mara tu mtihani huu ni kufanyika, tutaanza kitengo chetu cha kwanza juu ya kutatua. . . Katika darasa la nane la hisabati, tunafanya kazi kuwa tayari kwa ajili ya mtihani ujao wa MAP katika wiki moja. Tunatumia wakati wetu wa darasa kukagua dhana kuu. Wanafunzi ni mazoezi iliyotolewa vitu na matatizo juu ya utafiti. . . Katika darasa la nane la hesabu, hatujaimaliza kabisa kitengo chetu cha kuchora na kuandika equations za linear, kwa hivyo tutaacha kwa likizo na kuanza kitengo hicho hicho tunaporudi. Dhana zilipimwa. . . Sijui ni nini kinachokuwa vigumu kuamini - theluji Oktoba 15 au kwamba tayari ni wakati wa mikutano ya wazazi na walimu. Natarajia kutembelea wazazi wengi wa wanafunzi wangu. Ni hivyo. . . "Kama tulivyoona hapo juu, ""mfano"" wa kwanza wa darasa la nane la hesabu ni ""mfano"" wa darasa la nne la hesabu." Wanafunzi wamekuwa na vitabu vyao vya kumbukumbu vilivyotiwa alama kwa mara ya kwanza kwa hivyo, tunatumaini, kutokuelewana yoyote kumeondolewa. . .
