Math: The Marionettes finished up working with ratios this week and practiced with finding incorrect statements and fixing those statements. They then moved onto rates. They were introduced to rates and how to use rates as comparisons. The Saplings jumped into proportional relationships. They learned how to identify the constant of proportionality and rates of change. Additionally they worked on representing proportional and non-proportional relationships verbally, with a table, graphically, and with an equation. Vroomshrooms finished their short unit on variation this week and took a check-in. Thursday they began their system of equations unit by learning how to solve […]

Math: The Marionettes started the week by exploring ratios. They sorted a small sample of Froot Loops by color, created ratios, and used that data to make conclusions about the colors in a whole box. After exploring they had introductory lessons on how to write ratios and using ratios to make comparisons. They ended the week with a solve and color to practice finding equivalent ratios. The Saplings spent the week taking a check-in. After completing their check-in, some students created mad-lib stories to practice finding interest and working with the simple interest formula as an extension assignment. The Vroomshrooms
