Middle School

Math: Monday, Da Sprouts solved a puzzle and a cut and paste matching exercise as final practice with solving inequalities. On Tuesday they completed the unit with a check in. Wednesday we moved into the geometry unit with a lesson teaching that every triangle’s angles add to 180 degrees. Finally Thursday, they started exploring area and how area of a rectangle can be used to find the area of triangles and parallelograms. Evershrooms finally got back to their robots and finished them this week. Polar Bears Started their surface area unit by learning the formula for finding the surface area […]

Math: Everyone spent Monday working on the Stock Market Game. The game only has two weeks left! Tuesday, Da Sprouts worked on review stations and Wednesday they started a review worksheet for their upcoming check in. Evershrooms started a surface area project to build foil robots. They will complete their robots after the Iowa Assessments. Polar Bears worked with dilations on coordinate planes on Tuesday. With transformation lessons complete, they worked at identifying different transformations given clues on Wednesday. Mountain Lizards learned how to solve quadratics using both the square root method and by completing the square. Thursday everyone watched

Math: Everyone had Stock Market Game time on Tuesday since it had been two weeks without checking their portfolios. On Wednesday, Da Sprouts were introduced to inequalities and how to graph solution sets. Thursday they learned how to solve one step inequalities. Evershrooms jumped back into surface area by completing a lesson on finding the surface area of pyramids on Wednesday. Thursday they worked on surface area application problems. Polar Bears completed lessons over identifying transformations and working with dilations. Mountain Lizards worked on finding roots (or zeros or solutions or x-intercepts) of quadratics. Next they learned how to simplify
