Homework for GRAPHING PROPORTIONS Chapter 1.5

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today we reviewed our new vocabulary words and reviewed different methods to recognize proportional relationships.

VOCABULARY WORDS - Origin, coordinate plane, x-axis, y-axis, ordered pair, x-coordinate, y-coordinate

Do you remember how we reviewed our new vocabulary words? We made a Verbal Visual Word Association (VVWA). The four rectangles in the VVWA have a different purpose. See the picture below.

PICTURE	WORD ASSOCIATION

PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS – Do you remember the three methods we can use to recognize proportional relationships?

1.     Using a chart

2.     Using equivalent fractions

3.     Using a graph

When making a graph, if the line is straight and passes through the origin, then the relationship is proportional. Look back to the videos if none of this makes sense to you.

HOMEWORK:  I am going to collect and check all of it

1)     Either use your printed textbook or the online textbook to complete your homework. It should be bookmarked on your Macbook Air. Page 48 #3, page 49 #1-2, page 50 #5, page 51 #12

2)     Finish the VVWA. You should have a total of 4 complete.

3)     Check Infinite Campus to see your mid check grade. If an assignment is missing and you took it, check out the “no name” papers.

Good Evening Girls and Boys!

Mr Garbe is doing the videos today so you are in for a treat!

This section is on Graphing Proportions so there are lots of VOCABULARY Terms to define.  

Please make these creative, your own words, 

and show a real life example of each.

Onto the lesson:  Most if not all are familiar with graphing on a Quadrant Plane.  I always remember it by the prefix- quad- meaning 4.  So in a Quadrant Plane there are 4 sections called Quadrants to plot your Ordered Pair on! An Ordered Pair is a pair of numbers inside a ( x,y ).  The first number is always the x coordinate and the second one is the y coordinate to get one point!  You will be graphing straight lines. This is certainly a mouthful but after watching the videos, it should clear this up.

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos on Graphing Proportions and take notes in your Graphic Organizer!

Happy Fall to all!

On this fine fall day, I want to touch base with all of you.

Since we have had NWEAs yesterday and today, we have not done any math in class.  BUT, we must not forget what standards we are working on- that is RATES AND PROPORTIONAL Relationships. We are starting Proportional Reasoning.  Another more familiar wording may be Equivalent Fractions- when one ratio equals another.
REMEMBER: if you are retaking the quiz on Chapter 1.1-1.3 come in during tutorial.

Here's to a big smooch from Maddy's Horse!

So make sure you have the notes in your graphic organizer for Lesson 1.4 on PROPORTIONAL and NON-Proportional ratios and work on the following vocabulary words.  

You are now able to bring home your laptops and 

so the work with the electronic PORTFOLIO begins. Define the following terms:

RATE

COMPLEX FRACTIONS

UNIT RATE

PROPORTIONAL/Non-PROPORTIONAL Ratios

Make sure you define these words in meaningful and in an understanding way ~~~~~your own words.

Give an example from the math book AND

FIND a real world example of each (pictures or such).
Be creative and have fun ( One student put the vocabulary to a song and videoed taped it - another student was a reporter and reported out the information. ) 

In addition to starting your vocabulary section, you can type up your essay that was assigned the other day- 

For right now, Keep this information on NOTES or Pages until we start your portfolio BLOG!

Proportional and Non Proportional Relationships - Chapter 1.4

Good Evening to all,

We are moving onward but still staying in the standard of RATES and Proportional Relationships.  

This lesson is exactly this - PROPORTIONAL - meaning that 2 quantities are equal - they are proportional. 

Again, a mouthful- these are like equivalent fractions!  And being non proportional is like having 

two fractions that are not equivalent!  

So watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizers.

Converting UNIT RATIOS part 2

Good Evening to all,

We are in for a second round of converting units- that is where you cross cancel the units first to change them and then simplify the ratio.  For instance, you can go from MILES per HOUR to FEET per HOUR.  This is a tricky lesson, but I think that today will be FAR easier than yesterday.  And now that all of you have the flash player installed, we can move onward to the team classwork:

MORE TIME:  Skills Practice 1.3: even#'s

Problem Solving 1.3: even #'s

Just Right: Homework Practice 1.3 : even #;s

Problem Solving 1.3 even #'s

Challenge: Homeworm Practice 1.3 : every 3rd #

Problem Solving 1.3 even #'s

HOTS 1.3

All of this work is to be done in your notebooks-:

HEADING - date and assignment as above then comment when done.

Write down the problem

Show all steps 

Work on down

BOX in answer

Check the answer- if correct, go on to the next problem. 

If incorrect, go back and find mistake

 and correct it before moving onward.

When done with this assignment, 

make a brief comment on top of page.

Hint: when stuck on a problem: Look back at the examples in the book lesson, watch the videos again, ask your team mates, and if all of these fail, go to the teacher!

Work hard and if necessary, finish these worksheets as homework.

Converting UNIT RATIOS 7.RP.1 and 7.RP. 3

Good Evening,

Tonight's homework is a bit tricky, so be kind to yourself as it may take a few times through.  So we are off.  Mr  Garbe is making the videos so that will be a nice treat. 

 Make sure you take these notes in your graphic organizer. 

The lesson is about converting units from one to another. Sounds simple right.....

You will need to refer to page 26 for the charts, so you may want to somehow mark this all important page. 

 The charts are common conversions.

Each of the units should be written as a UNIT RATIO

 ( much like a unit rate- the denominator has a unit of 1 ).  

The numerator and denominator of each

 UNIT RATIOS MUST BE EQUAL! 

You will be factoring the UNIT as well as the digits. 

So hang on for the videos and listen to them as often as needed.

HOMEWORK: READ THE BLOG AND WATCH THE VIDEOS as often as needed. Bring in your questions or email them to me.

Chapter 1.2 COMPLEX FRACTIONS - 7.NS.3 and 7.RP.1

Good Evening to all,

We are going to be working on COMPLEX FRACTIONS in today's lesson.  So, the Standard is 7.NS. 3 ( NS is Number Systems) and also working in 7.RP.1 as we will be writing these in our RATES problems too. So we are off.....

Fractions are our friends and Complex fractions are fractions inside fractions- so complex fractions are our extra friends! All rules for fractions apply to complex fractions. 

Watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer. If you have any questions on this work, keep them until the morning or email me tonight.  Email:sheila.charle-mcatee@gorhamschools.org

he LOVES math and hopes you all do too.

HOMEWORK: read the blog and watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer:

You may need to pause the videos 

or watch the videos more than once.

Good Morning to all this fine Monday MORNING!

Welcome to the BLOG. We are reading the blog as a class as the laptops are still not available, but it is also a nice way to learn how to do this nightly homework assignment!

We are embarking on our first lesson in flipping the class, that is, where the instructions are video taped and presented in mrsmathatee's blog! You will be watching several short videos and taking notes on each of them in your graphic organizers.  ( If you have forgotten your graphic organizer, take notes on a small piece of paper and then glue this into the organizer when you get to school!) I will be checking that these notes are indeed done as that is evidence that you have watched the video instruction.  But for today and possibly this week, this viewing and note taking will take place in class.  So, after the class watches these videos, we will be going into the worksheets as teams.  

Now onto the lesson.  Today's lesson is on RATES and the CCSS ( Common Core State Standard) is 7.RP.2 and 7.RP.2b( 7 is your grade level; RP is the Domain of Rates and Proportional Relationships; and 2 and 2b are  the second part of this standard) and the Mathematical Practices 1,3,4, and 5. 

The vocabulary words for the lesson is Rate and Unit Rate- Rate is a comparison of 2 different things - such as time and distance.  Is often looks like a fraction!   Unit Rate is when this rate has a denominator of 1.  Have a Unit Rate makes it easy to compare things like which food is the best price. This is a bit confusing but should not be soon.
