AIMS and Quarter Test 3 approaching

Our AIMS testing will begin on April 11th. The 7th and 8th grades have approximately 22 lessons left. The week prior to AIMS we will be practicing an AIMS preparation test and reviewing any concepts that students are unsure of. The 3rd Quarter test will be Thursday March 10th. If you miss that date the test must be made up by Friday March 11th. If you plan on being absent on that day please inform me and we can find a way for you to make it up prior to the end of the quarter.

Concepts being covered:

7th: Volume, surface area, 3-dimensional objects/solids, nets, and measurement systems.

8th: Volume, surface area, 3-dimensional objects/solids, nets, and measurement systems.

Good luck guys and keep up the good work.

Here we go

Welcome back. We are already two weeks into the the third quarter and we're approaching its midway point and there is plenty to look forward to. We are two weeks from progress reports and about three months away from the AIMS test. It is vital that we do our strongest work and cover the greatest amount of material over these next few months.

Here are the concepts that each grade is covering over the next few weeks:

7th: Slope, advanced balanced equations, variable isolation/manipulation, inequalities, coordinate planes, and functions

8th: Midpoint discovery, coordinate/Pythagorean Theorem extension, inequalities, linear equations, and Slope-intercept-form.

Stay on top of your journal work and be prepared for your wednesday quizzes. You guys are doing great, keep it up.

Mr. Baker
