Week 11

6th Grade

This week we will be exploring percent of a number, percentage change, interest, sales tax, and discount

7th Grade

This week we will explore how to solve linear equations, solve simple fractional equations, and from linear equations to solve problems

8th Grade

This week we will be able to; express an algebraic fraction in its simplest form, perform the four basic operation on algebraic fractions, solve fractional equations that can be reduces to quadratic equations, solve everyday problems involving algebraic fractions, find the value of an unknown quantity in a given formula, and change the subject of a formula.

Week 10

6th Grade

This week we will finish the chapter on fractions, decimals, and percents. We will have a test on converting between all three and using the four basic operations.

7th Grade

This week we finish that chapter and be tested on; differentiating between like and unlike terms, adding and subtracting algebraic expressions, simplifying linear equations, factoring an expression by extracting a common factor, and factoring an expression by grouping terms.
