Our focus today in class was Algebra so that will be our focus for the weekend.  I am not putting any new links for this class because I want you to put any study time you have into understanding Algebra!  However- If you need a break from variables :)  Feel Free to go back to any old posts and work from there.

Enjoy some sunshine this weekend

I think it is time for a little cheerleader action!  You can Do It!!!!!!!!!!!


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

standard units


Have a great weekend!  Enjoy the snow and some hot chocolate!

A little more review for Area - Perimeter - Volume

 I found a Jeapordy game, again, to help with going over these three topics
On this one you will have to write your answer down and then "check" it to see if you did it right.  You can also keep track of your score - don't worry about the download stuff just scroll down and click on your topic and value and it will pop up a questions

Jeapordy Review

Also some good word problems

area and perimeter
volume practice
challenging area perimeter

On to Volume!!!!!!

Perimeter measures the outside and Area measures the inside so Volume measures capacity - Another way to think about it is by dimensions - Perimeter is a one dimensional measurement (number of inches around a picture frame)  - Area is a two dimensional measurement (square feet of carpet for a room)  - Volume is a 3 dimensional measurement (cubic feet of water needed to fill a swimming pool)
