Chapter 4.2 Rational Numbers

Good Afternoon to all of you,

This is the second blog with the new format.  I hope that you are catching onto the format and it  becomes second hand. 

I will be posting the 4.1 videos onto yesterday's blog for you to review as often as needed. 

I believe that you have mastered the vocabulary for this section, Common Denominator and Least Common Denominator in lower grades, but Rational Numbers may be new.  A Rational Number is a number that ends or has a pattern.  So all whole numbers end!  All fractions end! 

The types of numbers that may be IRRATIONAL are decimals... and then not all decimals are rational ( confusing huh!) We are looking at Decimals that do not end or do not have a pattern. A Rational Number is a Decimal that ends, so 3.25 is an example of this.  An Irrational Number is a Decimal that has no ending or pattern, such as 3.4521245 and so on.... you can not tell the next digit.  So if a Decimal ends or has a pattern ( as in 1.343434) it is Rational.  And if the Decimal does not end or doesn't have a pattern, it is Irrational......Do you recall the most famous Irrational of ALL?

Chapter 4.1 RATIONAL Numbers

Good Evening to you all out there,

We are trying something new so hang in there and be patient with me.........but do not stop trying as this will be easier in a short time.

The vocabulary for this section is Repeating Decimal, Terminating  Decimal, and Bar Notation.  

You will be watching the videos on the assistments site!! Woot woot... bet that makes everyone happy! We are working converting  fractions to decimals and then back again!! I believe that this is a review from last year and also what has been covered in math class, but none the less, you need to do your homework.

So here we go onto a new adventure...

This is Kate and Miss Bernard at the musical, The NUTCRACKER!!! Impressive!!!!!!!

Homework:  BIG CHANGES HERE:  To watch the videos, you are now going to go into your Assistments. 

In Assistments - watch the video and then answer the question it asks. You will need your TEXTBOOKS!

Hint: Write down the problems as they are asked on the video! 
After the Assistments deadline is complete, the videos will be reposted on this blog.  This will enable all to watch these videos just as often as needed.

Good Evening Everyone,

We have made it to the end of the chapter

 and you know what that means!!!! 

 A Chapter Test on MONDAY. 

 But we will be reviewing for the rest of the week, so stay focused and be working on the

 Reference Spirals.  

Your Essential Question is due AS you walk into class on Thursday- 

and that includes having the essay glued or taped in securely. 

 Make sure you understand how to  solve problems with negative signs,

Chapter 3.4 Multiply Integers

Hi there, and we are moving on with multiplying INTEGERS. 

 And we have gone over the rules of these in the short cut videos and you also have a cheat sheet that is in your Reference Spiral.  

Make sure you review these as Multiplying can be a bit tricky and does get mixed up with the DOUBLE SIGNS.  

Both the DOUBLES and MULTIPLY use parentheses. 
So pay careful attention.

Double Signs   Multiply 

-4 - (-5)               -4(-5)

Good Evening to all,

I am inserting these videos to go over my shortcuts for figuring out problems using NEGATIVE NUMBERS. 

 And I use these EVERY TIME there is a negative in the problem.

I showed the short cut in Chapter 3.1 but it was difficult to see, but I will send out a copy for you all to have in your Reference Spiral.  So, glue or tape a copy into your Reference Spiral asap.  

Also, the question of the day : What is the Essential Question in Chapter 3?  Email the answer to me tonight!

Chapter 3 INTEGERS and Rules.........

Good Evening to you all, 

REMEMBER to email me at mrsmathatee@yahoo.com for anything you need to email me about. Keep your beepers open for questions and flaws(he he he) in the videos.

This is MAGGIE- She is Evelyn's little puppy........

This is a new chapter and a new beginning.  

We are looking at INTEGERS.  Integers are whole numbers and they can be positive or negative: 5 and -5.  The other vocabulary word you need to know is ABSOLUTE VALUE.  That is the DISTANCE between the number and 0. I think the math symbol for absolute value looks like a goal post: l -5 l.  This is a short cut for saying the distance between -5 and 0 is 5.  We will go over this in class and I am sure you will enjoy this section.

Chapter 2.8 Simple Interest

Good Evening to you all,

Welcome to the last lesson of this chapter and you know what that means- A chapter test coming up soon! Yikes or Psyched!!! Bet you are ready for this!!! Let me know by email or comment at the bottom as to your feeling!!!

This lesson is on Simple Interest.  Simple Interest is the money earned or owed on a principle (beginning money).  So with simple interest, you either earn money or you pay money.  If you deposit money into an account, you earn money as interest or if you borrow money, you pay money as interest.

This is a bit confusing, put listen to the videos and see if they make sense. 

 If you have any questions, email them to me or save them for class.

The interest formula is I=PRT

I= interest earned or owed

P= principle

R= rate of interest

T= time( in years)

Substitute in the values and solve for the UNKNOWN.

Meet Jordan's pup, Buster, what a sweetie...



DISCOUNTS! Think about all of the times you've noticed that there's a discount on something you want. What if you got $20.00 for your birthday and you just noticed that those new nikes went on sale? What if they were normally $45 and there was a discount of 55% off? Would you be able to buy them? You'll know how to figure this out after these videos!

Chapter 2.6 Sales Tax, Tips and MarkUps

Good Evening to all,

And just when you think it can't get any more PRACTICAL in math class than finding the Percent of Change, we are on SALES TAX, TIPS, and MARKUP. 

 I bet you are familiar with these if you have ever been with your family when they buy groceries, snowmobiles, 4 wheelers or the like.  When you go shopping next time look at the price of the item, is it the full price you will pay?  Most items that you buy, other than some groceries, will have tax added to them.  

All three of these TAX, TIPS and MARKUPS in lesson 6 is about adding a cost(in percent) to the purchase price. So make sure you estimate this in before heading to the checkout counter and find you don't have enough money!

Chapter 2.5

Hello, 

Welcome to the second half of Chapter 2!!! We are now entering the other side of the chapter....

and this is PERCENT OF CHANGE.  

Does this sound familar from Chapter 1?  I hope so because math builds on itself and here is an example of that.  So, when we look at change - we do just that- look how something changes!! (Haven't I always said that "math says itself"?) 
So, we are looking at the change from one thing to another. Either that is a change that increases the number or decreases the number, but it can't stay the same.  

Another thing from Chapter 1 is the percent of change is a ratio(FRACTION) that compares the change to the original amount.

PERCENT of INCREASE

amount of increase

original amount

PERCENT OF DECREASE

amount of decrease

original amount

PERCENT OF ERROR

amount of error 

actual amount

So, this seems difficult and I ask you, "Where will I use this or when will I see this? "

AND my response to you would be - this is one of the most practical parts of math! Have you ever heard your parents talk about gas prices and how much they have gone up(CHANGED) from last year? Well, this chapter is the one for you! Dig right into the videos and enjoy! Email or comment to me on an example of something that changes?

This is Caitlin's Puppy dog, Hunter!!!! Looks like a little sweetie. Keep Sending in these Pics for the BLOG! 

HOMEWORK - Read this blog and watch the videos as often as you need to. 
 Could you write up your own problem using Percent of INCREASE, DECREASE or ERROR?????

Chapter 2.4

Good Evening to all, 

Today we are looking into another way to solve problems using percents with PERCENT EQUATIONS. 

 This is so similar to the last lesson, Percent Proportions!  In this lesson, use can use the chart on page 130 to help you along with solving.  You are solving for three things again : finding the percent, whole or part.

 So put this chart inside your graphic organizer in this lesson along with examples of each type.  

Personally, I find that the 3 types of equations in each of the lessons wordy.  So, if you find it this way also, listen to the 2.3 OVERVIEW.  The overview is when you are transforming the words into math symbols: for examples 

is  = (equals)

of  *(multiply)

What = X( what you are solving for)

Bet this helps, right?  Watch the videos and see if it makes sense. Ask questions as usual if you have any when we summarize in the morning.

PS: There are at least 2 MISTAKES on the titles of the videos today.  Find them and write them in your working spiral!!!

Chapter 2.3 The PERCENT Proportion

Hi Everybody,

Onward to Lesson 3, The Percent Proportion.  Does Proportions sound familiar?  It should- we are bringing over some of chapter 1 on Proportional Reasoning to this chapter. As you should recall, equivalent ratios are when 2 ratios were equal. You are taking ratio (fraction) to compare part of a number to the whole number.  Sound confusing?  Well, there is an equation for that!  Let's use this problem: 4 out of 5 is 80%  

Using the equation: Part/Whole = #/%

I bet that cleared it up right!??????? 
On page 122 there are 3 types of equations to look at: If you want to find percent, part or whole- we will look at these in the overview video.

This lesson is tricky so pay close attention

 to the details.

Chapter 2.2 Percents and Estimation

Good Evening Everyone,

Today we are marching onward with PERCENTS and we are using the skill of ESTIMATION.  
And so the answer will not be exact but an estimation.  
And with fractions we will be looking at the 
common estimation points 
of 50%, 10%, 75% and so on.

Chapter 2 PERCENT Lesson 1

Hello Everybody,

This week we are starting CHAPTER 2 PERCENTS!!

 Hurray hurray hurray. 

 You will be using a great deal of information from Chapter 1, so don't forget it. 

 And, remember when we were working with rates to show that objects are proportional or when we talked about slope and they looked and acted like Fractions? Well, we will continue on with things that look like fractions!  I know you are all happy about this. 

 Soon, Fractions will be your friends.

 The Essential Question in this chapter is: How can PERCENT help understand situations using money? You will find bits and pieces of this essay in every lesson in the chapter and on page 182 in your textbook, so be on the lookout for the clues...... This essay is due when we get to Lesson 8 on Simple Interest.  There will be due dates along the way, but I wanted to make sure you had a heads up on this requirement.

Chapter 1.7 Constant Rate of Change

Good Evening to all and welcome to another riveting lesson on the blog.......

A RATE OF CHANGE is where one thing changes with another...... A CONSTANT RATE OF CHANGE is where this change is Equal to each other and this Constant Rate of Change is Linear (Line)if you were to graph it.  A constant rate of change is like a unit rate (1 on the denominator). As math often says itself, we are looking at changes from one unit to another.  If these changes are constant -their graph is a line.   I find this so wordy, do you?  Actually, the examples will help you understand another way things are proportional.  Hint Hint: Essential Question....
The difference between Constant Rate of Change and Graphing a PROPORTIONAL Graph is that they are both Linear, but Constant   Rate of Change does not have to go through the Origin.

Chapter 1.5 Graphing Proportional Relationships

Good Afternoon to all of you AGAIN,

Well, not really sure what happened to this blog post, but it disappeared! Poof and it was gone!

So I do have the videos, but not necessarily the same intro to the lesson, so hang on, read on, and here we go again!

You can see that 2 things( x,y) are proportional by looking at the graph.  If the graph is a STRAIGHT LINE and goes through the ORIGIN, they are proportional!! ( hint: Essential Question ).

So watch these videos and be on the lookout when viewing graphs, are they proportional or not!!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Proportional and Nonproportional relationships! This is Miss Stockwell this time, so don't be alarmed by the voice change. :-p  I think you'll enjoy this section. Just think, after this lesson you will be able to figure out if the cost of pizza is proportional to the number of pizzas you buy and other comparisons to impress your friends with. When we're saying proportional or nonproportional we're really saying equivalent or non equivalent, so don't be nervous about the vocabulary!

Chapter 1.3 CONVERTING UNIT RATES

Good Morning to all,

I hope you are all getting the hang of READING the blog and WATCHING the videos.  Some of you are taking notes and some are not.  If you are doing so, please write these out in your working spiral and document them in the Table of Contents.  

In class you are doing your classwork, assistments(will start soon), and centers.  Make certain you get into a routine of doing a problem and then checking the answer - if this matches your answer, great- go onto the next problem.  If not, find your mistake in your work before going on (as a group).  You are working as a group so this will help finding the mistakes and correcting them.  

Converting Unit Rates is a LOADED section.  Your job is to change the units to match and then simplify them!  Sounds simple, heh?  Pay attention as this is a bit TRICKY!  Find the pattern and it all becomes routine.

HOMEWORK for tonight is to watch the following videos:
