See ya in class on Thursday!

I can hardly believe that we are to the end of June and that next week is the end of the block! 

So it is time to prepare for the post test - remember that the post test is a progress test.

One of the very best practices  you can have is Reviewing

Reviewing is not trying to learn something new in the next few days or hours - it is simply the skill of remembering what you have been learning in the recent past.  Please Please  Please   go back over the skills you have worked with this block, both individually and as a class.  The beautiful thing about the blog is that you can go back to any of our old posts to access the links that I gave you.  I also encourage you to go back over all paper practice that we have done.

Another great practice is to make sure your physical self is as prepared as possible
Get a good night sleep
Eat a good breakfast
These things sound simple but they really do help you do your best.

Test anxiety can be a big hurdle to get over for some students.  I am linking you to a couple of sites to help with this.

how to deal

test taking tips

Just a reminder - there is open lab Monday 10-2

 

It is time for a little review of statistics and probability :)  We have been working with these for a couple of weeks so remember that if you get stuck you can always go back the old posts to practice.

All this sunshine is giving me a little summer fever - How about you?????



Try to fit in a little extra studying this weekend as we prepare for our post test next week. I linked you to several sites for review on the last post. Today I want to remind you of the best ways to prepare for any test or stressful situation ie. a job interview.

totally stressed out

This site gives some good tips on how to handle stress.

As you are reviewing your material over the next few days - remember that reviewing is simply remembering - now is not the time to try and learn a new concept it is time to solidfy your comfort level with concepts that you have already been working on.

Get a good nights sleep

Eat breakfast

Enjoy your weekend - Give your mom a hug - See ya on Tuesday :)

It is Review Time!!!! I can't believe that it already May and we are at the end of the block! You know what they say about time flying :)

You have covered a lot of material within the last 6 weeks so take the time to go back over and remember all that you have worked on.

I will give you several links that will review what we have done together.

Integer quiz

Measurment conversion practice  -  scroll down to the worksheet practice - don't worry about doing any problems that want you to convert between standard and metric - ie  miles to km  -  only do the ones that convert within the system - standard to standard and metric to metric.

perimeter area and volume quiz

My goodness it seems like we just started the block and poof we have one week left of class.  Just a reminder that you need to have a minimum of 60 hours in order to post test so we can check your progress.  If you are in need of more hours please talk to us ASAP!  Open lab is available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10-2.  Also please be sure to hand in all homework sheets on Tuesday so I can give you an accurate hour count :)



Ok now on to some math

We have worked a lot on perimeter, circumfrence and area - if you are still feeling a little unsure about any of these areas you can go back to any old posts and redo the links.

Now for Volume

Perimeter measures the outside
Area measures the inside and is 2 dimensional
Volume measures capacity and is 3 dimensional

Volume Video

practice finding volume

aaamath practice - there are several links for different types of shapes - green box explain and blue box practice

We will be doing some word problems with perimeter, area, and volume next week.

I apologize for being late in getting this post finished.  My husband's grandpa has not been doing well lately so when I got home yesterday we loaded our little herd in the car and went to Glenns Ferry for a little visit and it was rather late when we got home last night :)  So if you were trying to access the blog last night I'm sorry.

So - lets get busy on some measurment stuff!!!!!!

First of all - you are expected to know the basic measurment units so here is a little chart - I susgest that either you print this off or copy it down - you need to have these memorized.

Spring Break Update



I hope that you are having a really great spring break - but I will be excited to see you back in class on the 2nd.  I am so very glad that you have taken the time to check up on the blog and that you will be ready for class next week. 

I have choosen several areas for us to work on as a group - as these are things that most if not all of us need some work on.

We are going to start with practicing integers - positive and negative numbers

The site that I am linking you to is coolmath.com (a lot of really great stuff on here - check it out)  I want you to do through lesson #6.  She does a  lot a good explainations and then she has you do a few practice problems throughout the lessons - Please bring your answers with you to class on Tuesday.  It is also a good idea to take a few notes while you are going through these lessons.

Coolmath - Integers




Happy Easter! 

I will see you back in class on Tuesday - April 2nd

               Welcome to the Block D blog!!!!!


I am super excited - well for a couple of reasons - spring is hopefully around the corner (I do realize that we live in Idaho and "spring" includes a few snow storms) and second that you are in my math class :)  I hope that you are ready to work hard and learn a lot. 


There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

In class today we did a little measurement quiz - I hope that you take your results and use them to help you review measurment - Look back through previous posts to find the links  that you need to work on whatever skill(s) you found you need a little work on.  The little cheerleader is here to help remind you to keep going!!!!!  It can be easy to get discouraged by something like a quiz - that isn't the point - Now you now what what you have learned and what needs a little more effort - So put this into your head - G - O - come on - (insert your name here)- Lets Go!   Yep- it's been a long winter

The Measurment Finale

we are wrapping up our measurement stuff and I wanted to give you a little more conversion practice.  On tuesday we will have a little "quiz" to go over all our measurment stuff - including perimenter, area, volume, standard and metric units and conversions.  If any of these topics makes you nervous PLEASE review past links and work on them.
If you were not in class on Thursday - we did not go past page 6 in the green booklet - be sure to do that much when wer are back next week.  I want to give you some more practice on the conversions in both metric and standard
