Q4W4 (April 9-13)

How is it possible that we are in week four of the last quarter of school..9th grade will be here sooner than you realize. This is our last week before TNReady and we will spend each day reviewing in differentiated groups between the 8th grade Math teachers. Students will be working in folders each day to review certain standards. Math is scheduled to be administered on April 23rd and 24th.

Q4W1 (March 19-23)

! Hopefully you have enjoyed a wonderful Spring Break. The next nine weeks seems to fly by. There is a lot of information that the math department is hoping to convey, so here we go...

1) Thank you so much for sending in pies for Pi Day! We had plenty to go around in every class. The students had a good time and it was a good way to end the 3^rd Quarter.

2) We have only a short amount of time left before our State Mandated testing begins. It is imperative that every student is present at school if humanly possible. Our 8^th grade math department has a meaningful and completely packed lesson planned every day of the school calendar all of the way until TNReady. We are both teaching new curriculum and reviewing previously taught curriculum. I need to see your student in math class every day. IF THEY MUST MISS CLASS, IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE MISSED ASSIGNMENT – but I would much rather have them in class – your student misses important interaction when not in class with other students.

3) This week we will be working with formulas to find the volume of rounded figures (cylinders, cones, and spheres). The students must memorize the formulas and know how to solve not only for the volume, but, if given the volume, to solve for the radius, diameter, or height of the figure. Please have your students recite the formulas for you over and over (they aren’t hard – but must be learned!).

4) Because we are down to the wire for state testing, it is IMPERATIVE that each student have a calculator that they know how to use well. Please check to make certain that your student has their own personal calculator. If they don’t, I recommend the TI30XIIS or TI30XS Multiview.

5) I love your kids and it is my sincere desire that they do as well as they possibly can on TNReady. Please trust me that each assignment that we give is meant to further your student’s knowledge and never for “busy work.” Having said that, please make sure that they are wearing their “working pants” every day from now on in, because there will be plenty of learning opportunities heading their way! Time will fly by and then you will have a High School student!

6) I hope you have all had a wonderful and safe Spring Break. Tomorrow it is back to work! I look forward to being with all of your kiddos during this last Quarter of their 8^thgrade year. It has been a wonderful school year - but the best is yet to come!
