HW Wednesday 9-25 due 9-26

The students are expected to complete as many portions of this page as possible.  Some information they will not know until later on in the year, or possibly until seventh grade.  This is to get a head start and begin preparations for algebra readiness.

HW Tuesday 9-24 due 9-25 (HW HALL)

This assignment is due on 9-25 and will result in HW hall for Thursday if not completed/turned in.

HW Monday 9-23 due 9-24

Students will rewrite from standard form to exponential form for the first two problems.

Students will then use Order of Operations simplifying each step and boxing in their answer.

HW Friday 9-20 due 9-23

Rewrite all prime numbers in exponential form, and use the order of operations to evaluate the expressions.

HW Thursday 9-19 due 9-20

Students will rewrite the prime factors of the following numbers using exponents:


500
64
108

1st/3rd
128
256
375
425

HW Wednesday 9-18 due 9-19

Do not complete the bottom 2 rows.

HW Tuesday 9-17 due 9-18

Math department homework.  Not turned in/lost results in homework hall for Thursday.

HW Monday 9-16 due 9-17

List the multiples of 15 and 9 (count by the numbers) then list the equivalent fractions from within the table.  Last, write a complete sentence using the following sentence stem:
The LCM of ___ and ___ is ___.

HW Friday 9-13 due 9-16

List the multiples for the pairs of numbers and find the lowest number they both have.
Least Common Multiple

HW Thursday 9-12 due 9-13

Students will use factor trees on 16 and 36 to find their prime factors.  They will then rewrite the prime factors using exponents.

Use the expressions with exponents to rewrite them in standard form (what #s are being multiplied)

HW Wednesday 9-11 due 9-12

HW Wednesday 9-11 due 9-12
IMPORTANT:  Students may not know all content here.  This is the first step to beginning Algebra readiness.  These skills builders do exactly that, build skills.  If skills are weak it will show through these assignments.  Although these are some skills they have not learned yet, over the next several weeks they will begin to get easier.  Students are not penalized for not knowing information.  The goal is TRY.

HW Tuesday Math Department HW 9-10 due 9-11 (HOMEWORK HALL)

This is a total review for students before they take their first Test - Bundle Assessment #1.
This bundle has covered:

• Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
• Coordinate Plane Quadrant 1

Please leave a comment if there are any questions.

HW Monday 9-9 due 9-10

Students must using the listing method of finding factors using their X Chart and divisibility rules.
Once they have listed all factors, they answer by counting them and writing the number of factors as their answer.  Example provided above with 30.

HW Friday 9-6 due 9-9

HW Friday 9-6 due 9-9

This is on a 1/4 sheet of paper front and back.  Students will plot all 8 points as well as name the points by placing the letter by the point.

GCF of 750 and 1000 has bubbles beneath the numbers showing that 750 will have 5 prime factors, and 1000 will have 6 prime factors.  It is provided so students may self check their work.  All bubbles should have a prime number in them if factored correctly.

HW Thursday 9-5 due 9-6

Bob has 144 pencils and 132 erasers. If he wanted to give each student a pencil bag with pencils and erasers with no extras, how many pencil bags could he make?

You need:

• Key Words
• Find GCF
• Complete Sentence
• Sketch the Picture

Use the examples from the problems you did in class.  Post a comment if you're getting stuck.

HW Wednesday 9-4 due 9-5

Renee was going to make baggies for Eric to take on a field trip.  Renee had 42 Cheerios, and 36 Takis.  If she wanted to have an even amount of food in each bag with nothing left over, how many of each item would be in a bag? 

Q - Question ( what are you finding ).  ONLY the question

Ti - Term and Important Information.  Your key words

P - Problem Solving ( how do you solve it? )  use factor trees, find gcf.

S - Solution ( write a complete sentence )
