Chapter 3.2 INTEGERS 7.NS.3 7.EE.3

Good Evening to all,  I hope that each one of you had a pleasant Thanksgiving meal with family and friends, 

and you were able to enjoy some extra sleep in time.

 And now that you are rested, we are moving on to INTEGERS.  An integer is a whole number that is either positive or negative.  Such as - 5, 8, -19  and so on.  It is NOT -5.3, or 8.2, or -19.4! Only WHOLE NUMBERS are integers.  But with integers like everything in math, we need to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them.  But most of you are very familiar with them and use them freely: weather is 7*below 0 (-7)  I owe my mom $8 (-8) and so on.

In this lesson we will learn more vocabulary, and the 2 words we have now are Opposites and Additive Inverse- these are about the same things.  Opposite numbers are talking about the signs of the numbers, so +3 -3   -10 +10 are examples and if you add them together you will ALWAYS get 0!!! So look for these in your problems and it will be far easier to solve.  

Additive Inverse is the same- you are adding the opposite number and you will always get 0.

So, enough of this chatter and off to the lesson on INTEGERS.

Good Evening Girls and Boys,

We are onto our last lesson for chapter 2 PERCENTS!  This means there will be a test over this whole chapter very soon!! Yikes!

Chapter 2.6 Sales Tax, Tips and Markups 7.RP.3 7. EE.2 7.EE.3

Good Evening to you all,

We are moving on with the most practical lesson of all - Sales Tax, Tips and Markups.  We use these almost in every day.  The vocabulary for this section is : sales tax, tip, gratuity, markup, and selling price. We are so used to going to the store and seeing prices marked on items and knowing that is NOT the price we actually pay at the register.  We need to add a sales tax to most items in the store.  Or another example when we are in a restaurant, we see the prices of the food items and then we add a tip to the wait person.  We are very familiar with these, that is it almost done with a thought. Well, this lesson is how to calculate these additional charges.  So watch the videos, and take notes in your graphic organizer and complete your vocabulary for this lesson.

Meet Kailyn's kittie.  What another little sweetie.....

Chapter 2.5 PERCENT of CHANGE 7.RP.3 and 7. EE.3

Good Evening to all,

And on this fine wintery day, we will be working away on Percent of Change!  I bet this is a thrill for all of you!  Well, it is a very useful concept and the good news is that it is fairly easy to do, especially if you use your Graphic Organizers to help you.  So When we are talking about CHANGE- we are taking about something that goes up or down.  If that change goes up- we use Percent of Increase- to figure out the amount.  And if it goes down, we use the Percent of Decrease!  And when we estimate, we use the Percent of Error!  Sounds a bit confusing, but watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer.  

You MUST write in the 4 formulas for PERCENT OF CHANGE IN YOUR GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS- these are your vocabulary words for the lesson!

Meet Annie. This little sweet girl owns Katie's heart.


Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizers:
