Getting Ready for High School

Dear Parents,

It's that time of year when our minds start to turn towards what's ahead.  In math, we're looking right past summer, and what your student should expect in high school math.  We're focusing on math content to help them be more successful next year.  And we're also working on responsibility.  Expect homework most every night.  Homework is due the next day.  Check in with your student daily to see what they learned that day and what homework they have.

To give you an idea of what we're doing...

Algebra students are busy working with exponent properties.  Before the end of the year, our hope is to learn all about factoring polynomials and using the quadratic formula!  Such fun stuff!  :)

8th grade students dove right back into algebra working with combining like terms, using the distributive property, solving multi-step equations, and we'll finally get to solving equations for y in terms of x.

Mrs. McCabe
