Part 1 of the Benchmark review...

You have already seen this review! It is the same one from the first nine weeks! Please have this completed when you arrive at school on Friday (12/9/11).
Review Sheet

Some Help:

Benchmark Test!

Benchmark consists of 40 questions from Q1 and Q2.

First: There are activities assigned on http://www.studyisland.com/ for review help if you want to us this resource!

Second: I will be posting answers to the review sheets as we complete them. Please be careful when you are working out the problems. It is a lot of work but it will help you prepare for the benchmark!

Please ask questions!- If you have questions during class, make sure to ask them. If you have questions when you get home, please email me and I will answer them as soon as I receive the email!

Data!

I apologize for it taking so long for me to post some information on data! Most of the information that we have learned about data is a review from previous grades. The only things new that we have learned are:

• Scatter plots
• http://www.purplemath.com/modules/scattreg.htm
• http://www.mytestbook.com/worksheet.aspx?test_id=1385&grade=8&subject=Math&topics=Probability%20and%20Statistics%20Scatter%20Plot
• Box-and-Whisker plots
• http://ellerbruch.nmu.edu/cs255/jnord/boxplot.html
• http://www.purplemath.com/modules/boxwhisk.htm
• http://www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/box/plot.html

As always I have included some links that will help you if you are confused!

Test Thursday!!! Study the Coachbook examples!

Homework- Direct and Inverse Variation

We need to practice more on direct and inverse variation so our homework today was a worksheet that I handed out. Some of the answers are shown to help you with any questions you might have.

P.S. We might (will) have a small quiz over this on Thursday!

Constructions!!!

We will be working with constructions all week. You will turn in a Construction book at the end of the week. The rubric that you will be graded on is attached. I have also attached some videos to demonstrate the constructions being made to help you if you are working on the project at home. 

 

Here is the only powerpoint that we will be using for notes. The rest will be taken in class as we construct on Tuesday. Notes

Here are the standards we are covering: 

M7G1. Students will construct plane figures that meet given conditions. 

a. Perform basic constructions using both compass and straight edge, and appropriate technology. Constructions should include copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line. 

b. Recognize that many constructions are based on the creation of congruent triangles.

Direct and Inverse Variation Notes and Classwork

Today we went over direct and inverse variation. Here are the things that we used in class and also the PowerPoint for notes.

• Notes
• Direct Variation WK
• Direct Variation Key
• Inverse Variation WK
• Inverse Variation Key

Here is a video demonstrating direct and inverse variations that will also help:

Test information!!!

We will have two quizzes on Friday 11/11/11!
The quizzes are on:

• Monthly Skills Quiz- Fractions, decimals, percents, and integers.
• Linear Functions and Direct and Inverse Variation

STUDY!!!

Standards Link!

Here is a link to the standards which you will be tested on in the spring during the CRCT! Standards

Student work!

These are pictures of just some of the projects that we had during 1st quarter that exceeded expectations!
