FLIPPING THE MATH CLASS!

Good morning to all of you incoming 7th graders!!!!!

It is so nice to have you visit the teachers and the classrooms that you will be going to in the fall.  

I hope that you get a sneak peek into what to expect 

and that this will lessen your worry. 

So hang on and we are off to a great YEAR!

This is the blog that you will be visiting to check out your instructional videos.  The blog- the message- is chock-full of information and the videos are linked with Examples of all the content in MATH we will be covering in 7th grade.  Each video is around 3 minutes or less and there are generally 5 videos of instruction per lesson.  You will be keeping notes - write down everything I write on the videos- in your Graphic Organizer.  This is a condensed way to organize each chapter.  This Graphic Organizer is contained in your REFERENCE SPIRAL.  This reference spiral will contain all your notes, examples, and vocabulary that we cover on the concepts.  The best part of the reference spiral is that you can use this to help during testing!  Yes, you heard this correct!

Along with the reference spiral, 
you will be keeping all your daily class work- worksheets
- in a WORKING SPIRAL.

This all seems a bit complicated, but after a few days doing this, it will be routine.  

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I give retests.   You may retest until your best.  You will be doing some remedial work on the problems you got incorrect along with a parent signature before, but retests are available!  

These are the Tetrahedron Kites that we will be making at the end of your year! It is so much fun!

Chapter 7 Lesson 3 TRIANGLES

Good Morning to all of you,

We are building on the lessons on angles with TRIANGLES.  Triangles are classified similar to that of the angles, acute, obtuse or right BUT also by the lengths of their sides- Scalene, Isosceles, and Equilateral.  So when we look at triangles, we are either looking at the size of the angles or the length of the sides or both.  There are many vocabulary terms this lessons, so pay attention to them.  Most of geometry is using and learning the vocabulary.   

Here's Elijah working so hard getting his pod together for his kite.

Complementary and Supplementary Angles - Lesson 2

Dear Girls and Boys,

Last lesson was on classifying angles as in Vertical Angles (angles across from each other with intersecting lines) 

Adjacent Angles ( angles next to each other), 

Acute Angles ( angles smaller than 90* ), 

Obtuse Angles ( angles between 90* and 180*), 

Straight Angles ( lines - 180*) and 

the most important of all the Right Angle( angle that measures exactly 90*-sometimes called 90* angle or the corner angle).

  This lesson is on classifying angle pairs - 

COMPLEMENTARY and SUPPLEMENTARY Angles.  Remember when we learned that the 90* angle and the 180* angle were 2 of the most important angles ( most everything is based off of these angles), complementary and supplementary angles are based on these.  Complementary angles are a pair of angles that add up to 90* and Supplementary angles are a pair of angles that add up to 180*.  So be on the lookout for the right angle and the straight angle.

Now this is a proud kid with all the "PODS" he constructed! Now onto the second step to cover the PODS.  The final step in Constructing the Kite is coming up soon.  BUT the fun part is FLYING the KITE!  

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizers and complete the vocabulary on Complementary and Supplementary Angles.

We are embarking on a new chapter in GEOMETRY, but we will be bringing along what we have learned in the previous chapters as well.  Geometry is heavy with VOCABULARY terms, so you need to understand and use these correctly.  On page535 in your textbooks is the list of vocabulary terms but you need to add the term, congruent.  Congruent means to be equal in size and shape.  Listen to video 1 for the brief definitions of the other terms.

Here are a few of happy campers working on their kite final! Hello, Brayden, Sam, and Donovan.

Alright now....... what happened to lesson 4 - 2 Step Equations- videos? A mystery for the day.

Dear girls and boys,

I am hoping that you all read the blog and watched the videos from Lesson 4- 2 Step Equations as now they have disappeared!  I will redo post the videos as this is one of the 

very most important lessons of all!  

Two Step Equations build off on the 1 Step Equations! You must keep the math sentence balanced at all time using properties in math, but there is an extra step.  When solving 2 step equations, you must take care of the CONSTANTS first.  If that constant is added to the variable, you must subtract both side with that constant.  And if the constant is subtracted from the variable, you must add the constant to both sides.  We will go over these in class today as we are done the NWEAs! Yippee.....

Chapter 6.5 MORE Equations

Good day girls and boys,

This will be our last lesson on solving equations 

for this chapter at this time!  

We will be coming back to the inequalities at the end of the year.  

This lesson is on solving and checking more equations.  There are several steps in each, but take each step one at a time, and you will be fine.  Go through the videos as many times as needed.  Remember to pause if the pace is too fast.  Ask questions by email or in class.

Chapter 6.3 Solving with Rational Coefficients

This lesson is about solving equations with Rational Coefficients!  Now this is a mouthful!  Let's review what each of these terms mean.  Coefficients are the numbers that are stuck on the variable and rational means the decimal ends ( pi ). We will go over these terms in class as well as the videos. This lesson is a continuation from the first two, but of course, a bit harder.  

Your job is to keep the balance using the

Chapter 6.2 Multiply and Divide EQUATIONS

Good Evening Girls and Boys,

                     We are expanding on the first lesson of the adding and subtracting EQUATIONS and going on with Multiplying and Dividing EQUATIONS.  Your job is to keep the equation balanced at all times using the properties in Math.  

Make sure you understand the 2 new vocabulary terms- Multiplication Property of Equality and Division Property of Equality.  These laws are used to balance an equation and each one isolates the variable on one side.  Watch the videos and ask questions until you get an answer. If they are too fast use the pause button.   And as always, you can re-watch them as many times as you need to......

Chapter 6 Equations- One step

Good Evening Girls and Boys,

We are moving onward to a new chapter and that is on EQUATIONS.  We will be looking at solving 1step equations!  I bet you can hardly wait for this lesson.....  First of all there are vocabulary terms that we will tackle as we need to be using these to sound like a mathematician!  The first term is Equations.  We have talked a great deal about these in prior lessons, but this whole chapter is about them. So equations are important and the gateway into algebra.  Equations have an equal sign = that splits the math sentence into 2 parts.  Both of these parts must remain equal or balanced at all times. That is your job to balance them using properties.  Think of the sentence on a balance beam.  You can take off or put on the same amounts on both sides to keep the sentence balanced.  It sounds difficult, but it is fairly easy.  The next term is Solution.  Solutions are the answers.  The next two terms are Addition and Subtraction Property of Equality.  Don't those sound impressive!  These 2 properties are what you use to balance the equations and solve for the unknown variable. Go through the videos and try to see where these properties come into play.  We will go over these and you may fill in these after the worksheets are done.

Chapter 5.7 Subtracting Linear Expressions

Hello to all of you out there!

This lesson on subtracting linear expressions is built off the earlier lesson on adding linear expressions.  Rather than add the two groups together, you will be subtracting them- BUT..... there is a catch!  When you subtract the second group, you are changing the sign of all the terms in that group.  Go through the examples and pay close attention to the little trick.  Remember that a linear expression is an expression that is not raised to a power.  

Best Friends, Leah and Natalie being silly today- as usual! 

Homework: Read the blog and take notes in the graphic organizer. Watch the videos and take notes once again and there are no vocabulary terms this lesson -Yippee...on Subtracting Linear Expressions.

Chapter 5.6 Adding LINEAR Expressions

Good Day to all,

Today we are learning about Linear Expressions.  What are these you ask.... Well take a second to look at the word linear.  
Do you see a smaller word in it?  Maybe line???? 
Well, math usually is that obvious, as we will be talking a great deal about Lines in the very near future, but for now the authors describe linear expressions as an algebraic expressions where the variable is not raised to a power
 and only added and subtracted from each other.  Phew!

Examples: 3x+2, x-7 are linear, but 3x^2 +2 is not a linear expression.  Doesn't that clear up all the confusion?  

Heeheehee..... remember when I asked you to look at the word, Linear and you saw Line in it? Well a linear expression is where you would get a line if you were to graph it - 
we will be doing this soon.  

Don't worry, it sounds harder than it is.  
In your graphic organizers, I want you to record 2 facts that are confusing from this blog.

And we have Gage! He's cleaning out his locker!! This is a wonderful sight to behold. Let's take a guess as to how LONG it will late being clean!!!! Heehee, Gage!

Chapter 5.5 Simplifying Expressions

Good Afternoon girls and boys,

We are embarking on a new lesson that is a continuation of the whole chapter so far.  We are still identifying the Terms, Coefficients, Constants, Variables, but we are adding LIKE TERMS.  Like terms are terms that have the same variable and the same power.  Example- -8U-6+-6U  you can combine both terms -8U and -6U and get -14U.  Make certain that you can define all these terms with definitions that you understand.  In this lesson you will also be writing the expressions and simplifying them!

Chapter 5.4 The DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY

Now we are getting the first formal touch of Algebra, so hang on and let's get to it.  We will preload  with the vocabulary of the lesson..... the first word is another property or law of math and this is the Distributive Property. Just like the name implies, something is getting distributed or spread.  In algebra we use the distributive property when you have a number outside the parenthesis and you multiply this term to each term inside the parenthesis.  You can also think of this as the number outside tells you how many groups you have of the terms inside the parenthesis. So 3 (A + 6 ) means there are 2 groups of A+6.  We will work on this through the examples and in class, so if you still have questions, ask away. We are also looking at equivalent EXPRESSIONS.  This is where we will be simplifying the expressions.  Again, watch the videos and ask questions in our review tomorrow morning.

Lesson 3 Properties of Operations

Now, to lesson 3, Properties of Operations. 

Properties are like the rules of the math game.  You must follow them to get the correct answer to your problem. You are fairly familiar with some of these properties already, so they will be a review.  There are a few new rules, so make sure these get written into your graphic organizers with a definition that you understand.  And one of the basic properties is not mentioned in this lesson, but we use it the most frequently is the Order of Operations!  Many of you use the "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sal" to remember what operation you solve first when you have a string of operations in an expression or equations.  

You must add this Property as well as the other ones mentioned in the videos.

Chapter 5 Lesson 2 SEQUENCES

Good day to all of you,

We are moving onward to the second lesson!  To start off, we will look at the vocabulary terms for this section.  The first word is sequence. And a sequence is ordered list of things or numbers - or pattern.  An arithmetic sequence is a pattern of numbers and you are able to find the rule to get the next number.  These 2 vocabulary terms are useful, but they are not required to be in your vocabulary list in your ribbon books.  On the other hand, the vocabulary term, TERM, is..... heeheehee..  Term in the lesson is the numbers and variables in a algebraic expression.  I learned this by counting the number of positive and negative signs in an expression- EX: -4X + 8     -4X and 8 are both terms.  This vocabulary word is required to be defined in your graphic organizers.  

Now onto the videos.....

Chapter 5 EXPRESSIONS

Good Day to all,

We are moving on with EXPRESSIONS!  And you all know what an expression is right?  An expression is  a math sentence that generally is used when you are talking about algebra.  Expressions and equations are similar but the expressions have no equal = sign where the equations do.  In algebra, a variable is a letter or symbol that stands for a number.  This VARIABLE is what you are solving for and most often it is a letter.   If we are in algebra, then this whole sentence is called an algebraic expression- makes sense right?  We will also be learning what a COEFFICIENT is- that is the number stuck to the variable.  Then the last vocabulary term is a constant.  A CONSTANT is another number in the algebraic expression, but this number stands alone.  Make sure that you have these definitions down so they make sense.

Lesson 4 Adding and Subtracting Fractions

Good day to all of you,

We are skipping lesson 3 in this chapter as it is adding like fractions and I do believe that all can do this.  

If you feel you need additional help, please come see me asap.

  In lesson 4, we are going to be adding and subtracting unlike fractions together.  So, we must get the same size denominators or common denominators.  We have done this in chapter 2 when we talked about complex fractions ( a fraction inside another fraction) so this also should be a review. The new thing that we will be learning is the fractions but using negative numbers with them.  So in addition to the fraction rules, you must also use the Negative Rules.  Listen to the videos and ask questions if needed. 

Homework: Read the blog- take 2 notes in your go; watch the videos on adding and subtracting Fractions and take notes; and complete your vocabulary.

Chapter 4 Lesson 2 Rational Numbers and Ordering

Good Day Girls and Boys,

we are moving on with lesson 2 and that is defining what a RATIONAL NUMBER is and what it is NOT.  SO, to begin with you probability have heard this term more as the negative or Irrational if you have ever heard of pi.  Pi is a decimal that never ends and it doesn't repeat.  Have you heard of pi?  It deals with any circles.  Anyway, back to Rational Numbers.  These are all whole numbers, all fractions and some decimals.  The decimals that are rational are the decimals that end or repeat.  Such as 3.25 ends therefor it is rational.  8.7^- ( this is supposed to be 8.7 with a bar notation over 7).  This is also rational as the 7 repeats and you know what the next digit will be - a 7 and so on.  All decimals that do not end or repeat are irrational numbers.  So there is no pattern so we don't know the next digit.  This is easier than it sounds.  The other part of the lesson is ordering fractions, decimals and percents using <  >  = between the numbers.  So if you are comparing 2 fractions, you need common denominators.  If you are comparing decimals, line up the decimal point and check. If you are comparing different types of numbers, you must change them into the same- such as all fractions, decimals or percents to compare.  
Very wordy I know.

Chapter 4 Rational Numbers

Well hello to all of you once again.  It has been so long since I last had a 

blog entry that I almost forgot about it!!!

 Anyway, we are back online doing the blog and I know all of you are so happy about this! 

This chapter is rather a review from the past on the 4 operations of DECIMALS.  I know you will remember the process after the cobwebs are blown out!  In the first lesson, were are looking at Terminating and Repeating Decimals (Both of these terms are vocabulary terms that need to be competed in your Ribbon Book).

Just as it sounds Terminating Decimals and Repeating Decimals  are decimals that END or REPEAT a sequence: Examples of these are .05  1.25.  3.9  and decimals with a bar over them. ( I can't type it but will make sure you understand this in class.)

The Bar Notation is the 3rd vocabulary term for the lesson.  Bar Notation is the tiny little bitty bar that goes over the digit that repeats over and over and over and over and over for ever! 

You will be converting decimals to fractions in this lesson so get ready for this review.

Record 3 things about the blog in your graphic organizer.

CHAPTER 3 Integers and Absolute Value Strand: NUMBER SYSTEMS

Dear Girls and Boys,

Today we embark on a new frontier!  Rules will change so stay tuned to learning new rules.  One change is that we will be doing far less online worksheets and working mostly in your textbook! This will mean that you will be taking home your textbooks when you are not done with the classwork.  You will be able to complete the work in your textbooks and use your working spirals when you need to.  We will be doing computation problems as well as word problems so that you start to LOVE the word problems! The longer it takes you to love them, the longer we work on them!  

This chapter is about INTEGERS and ABSOLUTE VALUE.  

Many of you already have a nice grasp on integers so this will be a review.  Integers is using both the positive( above 0)  and negative ( below 0) whole numbers.  You find these in the real world when you are talking about temperatures, such as - 6*- or below sea level - or on a football field going back 20 yards - working on a graph and plotting the ordered pair, ( -2, 3) and many other applications.  Absolute Value is the DISTANCE between a number and 0. Distance is always positive as you can never travel in the negative. It is written much like a goal posts with a number inside- I -6 I = the distance between -6 and 0 so that is 6.

Lesson 8 - Simple Interest

Good Day to all of you,

This is the last lesson of the chapter on percent!  This also means that you will be taking a test in the very near future.  But before the test happens, we need to cover SIMPLE INTEREST.  Simple Interest is the money earned or paid for the use of your money.  It can be found by using the formula, shortcut, I = PRT. That is Interest = Principal * Rate * Time.  We will go over this formula after we learn about the parts of it. I = interest  P = principal   R = percent charged or earned  T = time.

The PRINCIPAL is not Mr Riley in this case! The Principal is the money you deposit or borrow.  The 2 vocabulary terms for this lesson are Simple Interest and Principal.  Make sure you glance back in this paragraph for the meanings and include the formula for simple interest.  

So, hang on....... and ask questions if you have them especially after going through the examples on the videos. 

Take at least 2 notes from the blog onto the graphic organizer.

Hi Girls and Boys,

Now we are finally at my FAVORITE lesson- Discount!!!!  Yippee..... I love a bargain.  This lesson is similar to Lesson 6 on Sales Tax, but in this lesson we are SUBTRACTING the Discount or Markdown percentage!  Yippee.....I love a bargain.  

The tricky part is that in this lesson and real life you will be subtracting the discount but adding in the sales tax.  So be careful and learn about everyday buying in the real world.  

The 2 vocabulary terms for this lesson are Discount and Markdown.  Both of these are the amount of the price that reduces the selling price.  

This is the last lesson in this chapter so you know what that means!!!!!

Lesson 2.6 Sales Tax, Tips, and Markup

Good evening Girls and Boys,

We are now diving into a lesson on paying extra money! No fun at all!  We are going to learn about Sales Tax, Tips or Gratuity, Markups and Selling Price.  These 5 are all of your new vocabulary  terms for this lesson.  You and your family see these every time that something is purchased so you may be very familiar with these terms.  Sales Tax is what the state and national government tack onto to prices to run the governments.  Tips or Gratuity - both the same- are the amount you would give a person for service given- such as a waitress.  A store will Markup a price to customers from what they paid for it and what they sell it for. And the last term is Selling Price that goes with Markup.  The price that store owners sell items for after the markups is called the Selling Price. And please excuse me for sneezing on video 2 at the end.........

Lesson 5 PERCENT of CHANGE

Good Day to all of you,

This lesson is about change, Percent of Change.  What do you think of when you use the word CHANGE? Is it, you start with something and then that changes into something else??  Well, in Percent of Change, you are talking about the original amount and the amount that it changed to as a ratio.  This change can be a decrease or increase.  There are shortcuts, formulas, that you can use to solve these percent problems.  You can use these formulas to find out how the price of gas has changed over a period of years, how much the price changed for any sales item, or many other items that can change.  If the change goes down, you would find the Percent of Decrease. And if the change goes up, you would find the Percent of Increase.  And if you are estimating, the change in the actual and estimated amount is the Percent of Error.  

So, there are 3 formulas to help out with the solutions to each type of problem.  Make sure that you look over the key concepts on pages 144 and 145. 

You must write down 3 facts from this blog into your graphic organizer.
