Converting Unit Rates 7.RP.2 and 7.RP. 3

Good Evening,

Tonight's homework is a bit tricky, so be kind to yourself as it may take a few times through.  So we are off.  Mr  Garbe is making the videos so that will be a nice treat. 

 Make sure you take these notes in your graphic organizer. 

The lesson is about converting units from one to another. Sounds simple right.....

You will need to refer to page 26 for the charts, so you may want to somehow mark this all important page. 

 The charts are common conversions.

Each of the units should be written as a UNIT RATIO

 ( much like a unit rate- the denominator has a unit of 1 ).  

The numerator and denominator of each

 UNIT RATIOS MUST BE EQUAL! 

You will be factoring the UNIT as well as the digits. 

So hang on for the videos and listen to them as often as needed.  

Hey, Jack and I have similar broken bones! How fun is this???

HOMEWORK: READ THE BLOG AND WATCH THE VIDEOS as often as needed. Bring in your questions or email them to me.

Chapter 8.7 SURFACE AREA of PYRAMIDS

Good Evening to all,

Tonight's homework is very similar to last night's work.  We are looking at the SURFACE AREA of pyramids today.  

Surface Area is the total area of all the faces and bases 

of the pyramid.  

You must find the LATERAL SURFACE AREA- lateral face- 

of each face. 

 Another vocabulary word is SLANT HEIGHT.  This is the height of each lateral face. ( Make sure you define these words in your reference spirals. ) 

 To find the area of each face of a pyramid, you find the area of the triangle using the slant height.  Add all the faces along with the base for the surface area.

Another furball of fun.  This pup belongs to Georgia.  My heart is melting!

Homework: Watch the videos, take notes in your reference spirals.

Chapter 8.6 Geometry: SURFACE AREA of Rectangle Prisms

Hi, today we are marching onward with SURFACE AREA of Rectangular Prisms.   

This takes in to account all of the math we have been talking about in the early sections of this chapter- 2-D figures use area and the 3-D figures use volume. 

 The surface area is the outer area- container- of the 3-D figure.  You find the area of each face- then find out how many of these sides you have- then add them all up to  find the SURFACE AREA.  

Somewhat tedious, but easy.

And here is Caitlin with her little ball of fur.  Milo is just 8 weeks old and follows Caitlin around everywhere she goes!

Chapter 8.5 Volume of Pyramids GEOMETRY

And Good Evening everyone,

Today we are moving onto Volume of Pyramids. 

Just like volume of prisms, volume of pyramids is the space inside the 3-D figure.  Remember a prism maybe a cereal box and the volume of the box is the cereal inside??? Well, we have much the same with pyramids, but DIFFERENT! What is that difference????? This is a question you need to think about.

 Pyramids are named by the base shape (polygon).  So you could have a square pyramid if the base is a square- what would you call a pyramid with a triangle base? 

 The height of the pyramid is always from the tip of the vertex to the base and it forms a right angle. So be aware of looking for the height from inside the pyramid.  

The shortcut - formula - is volume= 1/3 BH  -

 why would it be that?

To think about this, you may recall that a triangular prism is half of a rectangular prism- so....

A Pyramid of GIRLS!

Chapter 8.4 Volume of Prisms- GEOMETRY

Hello, and finally, we are moving onward through Geometry again.  This lesson is on volume of prisms.  I want to review what a prism is and they are 3-D polyhedrons that have 2 bases, such as a box.  I hope that reminds you of prisms.  And today we add on to this knowledge and learn about Volume of prisms.  Volume is the space inside the 3-D figure.  It has a shortcut, formula, that can figure out that space, but let's look at the examples before looking at the formula. Check out the video link from Emma and she shows many prisms and then shows the volume of some. One example of volume is the cereal inside the cereal box or the milk inside the carton.  After glancing at the book, you will find the formula, so go ahead and enter this in your reference spiral.

Chapter 8.3 Area of COMPOSITE Figures

Good Evening to all,

We are still plugging away in GEOMETY, specifically, AREA.  Area is all the "stuff" inside the shape and it is divided up into square units.  We talked and explored the area of circles and some of you found it odd that they cut up a circle into squares! We also talked about using formulas ( shortcuts) to find areas. In this lesson, we will be combining shapes and finding the areas of the whole shape, by finding the area of each shape.  Sounds tricky, but it should be easier after class today.

Chapter 8.2 AREA of Circles!!

Good Evening to all,

We continue working on GEOMETRY and specifically,

 the area of circles.  

These measurements come in handy with working with

circles and semicircles. 

 Area is the "stuff' inside the shape and you can find this by using a shortcut, or formula.  The area of a circle is A=π rˆ2.  Remember that Pi is generally estimated to be 3 or 3.14 or 22/7.

CHAPTER 8.1 Circumference

Hi,
It seems like such a long time since the last video time to me, what about you?  We are working on Geometry, particularly working with circles and all the vocabulary that goes with circles. I am certain that most of this material is review, but we will be building on this, so let's make this solid!!! The vocabulary that we are investigating in this lesson are: circle, center, circumference, diameter, radius, pi.  Make sure that you understand these and write them down in your Reference Spirals - meaningful definition and examples of each.

Chapter 7.5 Drawing 3-D Figures

Good Evening to all,

This section of GEOMETRY is on 3-D Figures.  And the first section of this is really looking at a 3-D figure from the TOP, SIDE, and FRONT VIEWS and what 2-D shape does it make.  This is a bit tricky to some, but keep on Persevering.  For class Exploration time, I want you to play on 3 games:

 Count a Cube, Alien Angles, and Shape Mods.

( http://mathplayground.com/cube_perspective.html)

In class you need to write out a REFLECTION on these games in your Working Spirals.

Chapter 7.4 SCALE DRAWINGS

Good Evening, 

As you know, I am moving the math class into a more Proficiency Based class, so we will be focusing on understandings of concepts and learning the standards. We are now in the GEOMETRY DOMAIN.   

We are in the STANDARD of Solving problems involving scale drawings (7.G.A.1). 

  This section, we will be working on Scale Drawings.  This section is generally know to many students as you often use models and maps and such to design rooms or calculate distances. If one was to look at a picture of your favorite aunt and see her sitting on a couch, you will know that the couch might be 6ft long in real life, but in the photo, the couch is far smaller. 

The videos will now be released AFTER the PROBLEM SOLVING activity so that you have time to understand the concept on your own.  This is a major change also.  

The vocabulary for this section is SCALE and  SCALE DRAWINGS and SCALE FACTOR.  

Scale is the RATIO that compares the measurement ( and ratio can look like a fraction).

Scale Drawing can be a model or drawing that represents the actual thing.

Scale Factor is the ratio with units and in simplest form- such as 1/12 the size of the original.

Chapter 7.3

Good evening, I hope you all had an exciting weekend and enjoyed the sunny weather we had.  

In math we are moving on with Geometry and learning about TRIANGLES and their properties.  There are a sloo of vocabulary words this section, as a matter of fact, the whole chapter, and once these are learned and used, the chapter seems straight forward. So far we have covered angles, whether they be acute angles (smaller than 90*) or obtuse angles (larger than 90*) or exactly the p)erfect RIGHT angle at 90*.  We talked about the special pairs of angles; vertical (opposite and congruent); complementary angles (pair of angles that add up to 90*; or supplementary angles ( pair of angles that add up to 180*). 

 Using this knowledge on angles, we are moving on with TRIANGLES.  Triangles are 3 sided polygons.  So they have 3 angles and 3 sides.  And that is how they get classified by: the angles and sides!  If you are talking about ANGLES- the triangles are called Acute Triangles, Obtuse Triangles or Right Triangles.  If you are talking about the SIDES of the triangles they are called: Scalene Triangles 9 no sides  the same length, Isosceles Triangle

 (2 sides equal length) or Equilateral Triangles (all sides equal length) 

The properties of Triangles are that EVERY TRIANGLE has the total inside angle measurement of 180*

Chapter 7.2

Good Afternoon to all,

Lesson 2 is on Special Angles, namely,

 COMPLEMENTARY and SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES!

Knowing this information will be instrumental in solving many problems in Geometry. 

 So these are your vocabulary words to be added 

into your Reference Spirals!  

Complementary Angles are 2 angles that add up to 90*. They do not need to be connected, but generally they are.

Supplementary Angles are 2 angles that add up to 180*. Again, they do not have to be connected either.  

It is essential that you learn these angles as they are used frequently in solving problems, so..... 

I think of complementary angles as 90* and supplementary angles as 180* as they are alphabetically correct- meaning c comes before s and 90 comes before 180.

I also think that c is half of an s - so 90 is half of 180.

Or just LEARN THEM.  This is utmost important that you do so  as you are always in the lookout for 90* and 180*!

Check out the videos and take notes in your Reference Spiral and remember accuracy and appeal are important.

Good Evening to everyone tonight,

We are continuing on with our work at solving inequalities.  Remember an inequality is not a balance as in an equation, 

but there are many similar ways in solving both.  

Do you remember the little trick though????? It has to do with using a negative number?????  Look back at the blog entry 6.5 if you need to be reminded.  So, watch the videos and take notes.

Chapter 6.7 Inequalitites

Good Evening to everyone,

We are still working on solving inequalities.  Inequalities are not solving for one solution like an equation, but rather solving for many solutions to the variable.  For instance, x is greater than 5.  So every number above 5 is a solution to that inequality.  In many ways, the solving of both equations and inequalities are the same.  There is one important difference that we must pay attention to. That difference  is when you are Multiplying or Dividing that inequality with a NEGATIVE NUMBER you must reverse the < > signs.  Negative means opposite, so you must flip these signs when solving with negatives.  The examples will help, but you must add this to your Reference Spirals in bold to remember this fact!

Chapter 6.6 INEQUALITIES!

Good Evening to all,

In this next lesson we are talking about Inequalities.  This vocabulary word means that something is either larger than or smaller than the other.  In this case we are talking about math and it would be the < or > symbols that you are so familiar with.  In addition to that, there is also the greater than and equal sign and the less than and equal sign.  So, we are building on what we already know about solving equations,

 but this time we are solving inequalities.  

Inequalities is your new vocabulary word!

Chapter 6.3 Equations with Rational Coefficients

Good Evening and doesn't 

the title of this section sound SMART! 

 I bet you can impress all as you can do this stuff and 

dazzle your parents and friends! 

 We are pulling together everything from past chapters- fractions, negatives and algebra rules! We can do this, one step at a time. 

 So remember what rational number are?  I know you do, but just in case- rational numbers are all whole numbers and fractions and some decimal numbers- the ones that end or have a pattern! And coefficients are the number part of a variable term. This is your one and only vocabulary for this section! 

 Hope this jogs your memory.  

We will be working with fractions and decimals as coefficients!  Sounds easy huh? Tee hee, I like it to sound hard but all the while it is fairly easy if you follow the rules! So off to the videos and when you have mastered these algebra problems, show your parents.  Be careful as you may end up teaching them!

Chapter 6.2 EQUATIONS 1 Step Equations x /

Good Evening to all,

Today we are moving onward with 1 Step Equations using multiplication and division to solve.  The vocabulary word is a familiar one: Coefficient - the number only that is attached to the variable  will come in to play here so......

Your job is to find the value of the variable all the while of keeping the equation BALANCED. 

So what you do to one side of the equation, you MUST do to the other.  You want to get the variable all by itself on one side to find the value.  

Then you must check these with the 3 Step Check- Write original equation- Substitute in the Value of the variable you found- then check to make sure it is BALANCED.  The videos are fairly  clear and if you need more help, be sure to ask away!

Chapter 5.6 ADD LINEAR EXPRESSIONS

Good Evening to you all,

Have you checked out the title of this section? Add Linear Expressions?  Sounds tough???? 

Well, let's not make it tough but easy, so listen to the videos and read the blog

 and most importantly, ASK questions in class...... 

A Linear Expression is an expression that if plotted, it would form a LINE. 

 Do you see the little word line inside linear? 

 Another way of defining this would to be to say that the terms are not raised to any power- such as 3^2 or 3 raised to the power of 2.  

You know what an expression and the operation of adding is, so this really is not so bad.
