May 8, 2012 Students We're almost done! We are done with STAR testing this week and have only a few weeks left in the school year. But, we're still learning math, so remember to stay focused! If you find you are falling behind then please come see me and get extra help. All you have to do is ask. My door is always open to you and I'm here to help! For more ideas about how to succeed in math, check out my study tips. Remember, it is your responsibility to stay current on your homework, even if you miss a class for whatever reason. Check the web site for the assignments you miss if you are not in class, and pick up the handouts from the crates in our classroom. Pre-Algebra We will wrap up the school year with some more work on geometry. We will learn about surface area and volume of three dimensional figures. Then we will review what we've learned this year and have some fun with math applications. Algebra We will continue to work with rational expressions and equations, extending what we have already learned about linear and quadratic functions. We will learn about domain and range, the input and output of functions, and we will prepare for the final exam. We've had a great year and we're almost done! Parents A great description of the options for 8th grade algebra at Hall may be found on Mr. Pankler's website. We will start on the placement process for next year soon, so please give this some thought and discuss the options with your child. Both pre-algebra and algebra students will take a placement test to help the math faculty determine the best math placement for your child next year. There will also be a final test, assessing what students have learned this year. Please monitor the websites for dates and more information. Please check the website for assignments if your child misses school. Help your child suceed in math by monitoring their math journals frequently. If your child needs help, encourage them to look at the examples in the book and to think of how their homework is similar or different from the examples. I am always available via phone or email for your questions or concerns. |
