2nd Quarter Progress

Junior High Mathematics is hitting the second quarter in stride. The first Quarter test is behind and momentum is building as we begin using our buckle down curriculum daily. Students will begin to have a heavier workload and, as a result, see more homework. If daily journal assignments are not completed in class each student will be responsible for finishing that assignment at home.

The concepts that each grade is focusing on are as listed:

7th: Balanced equations, Pythagorean Theorem, Probability, Proportional equations, and Triangles: Angle relationships, Area, Classifying by side-length and angle.

8th: Graphing transformations, Reflections, Rotations, Translations, Dilations, Coordinate plane calculation, Multi-step balanced equations, and Complex solid Volume.

Stay on top of your journal work and keep your focus, 2nd quarter flies by quickly.

I'm proud of you guys,

Mr. Baker
