8th and 9th grade assignment for the week of 5/4/20
Hi to all 8th and 9th graders!
Below, please find a link to a decent enough online calculator. As always, the older assignments will appear further down on the page.

If there is one topic that is just as important to Algebra 1 as it is to 8th grade, it is the subject of linear equations. Both grade levels are required to know how to write an equation, make a table, and graph linear functions in two variables. You need to know what slope (aka, rate of change) and the y intercept (aka, initial value) are and how to use them. In the following exercise, you will be required to write an equation from a table or graph, graph a line given an equation or table, or write and graph a line from data recorded in a table. Basically, then, this is a combined linear equation review.
So, let’s start with the parts of a linear equation. Please go to the link below.

Next, let’s do a quick review on how to calculate slope from a table, a graph, or two points.

8th & 9th grade assignment for the week of 4/28/20.
Hello 8th and 9th Graders
Below, please find a link to a decent enough online calculator. As always, the older assignments will appear further down on the page.
https://www.calculator.net/scientific-calculator.html
This week, we are going to work on geometric concepts that are common to 8th and 9th grade. You will be finding the area and volume of common shapes, but you may not remember how to do them all. Actually, this is good news, because I want you to practice on using your search skills to teach yourself a topic.
This assignment will have you answer math questions that are based on the movie Tangled, so, if you have a copy or you can pull it up online, watch it. It’s funny! If you don’t have access to it, you will just have to answer the questions without the fun of watching a movie. Use the context clues within the descriptions to find what topic you need to search. For instance, if a question states that the roof of a castle has the shape of a square pyramid and they want to know the volume, search for how to find the volume of a square pyramid. I assure you, you will find dozens of resources and tutorials.
As always, please do check with me if you have questions, but see how much of this you can find on your own. This is useful math and you are up to the challenge!
Good luck! The assignment is attached or the link is found below.

Eighth Grade Links for week of 4/20/20
Once again, just a quick reminder that the older assignments are found as you go toward the bottom of the page, the oldest assignments are usually deleted every week, and that there is a link in an earlier assignment that will take you to a decent online calculator.
Okay. Last week we introduced the Pythagorean Theorem and did some practice using triangles and finding the length of a missing side. One of the most common things that happens in a classroom is that, at some point, some student will ask, “When will we ever use this in our life?” It just so happens that this is one of the most used concepts in mathematics that I thought I would include a link that addresses the question of where is it used.

The link that follows will take you to a little refresher warmup.

This week, we will begin using the Pythagorean Theorem in applications. The following links will take you to examples of how to do application problems.

And finally, below this is your assignment. Remember, there are thousands of videos and other resources available online if these don’t fully explain what is happening.

Eighth Grade Links for week of 4/13/20
Before we get started, I want to remind you that older assignments will appear below the newer assignments. Also, some of the really early assignments may have disappeared. If you have a calculator on your phone, feel free to use it. If not, the following is a link to a decent calculator online.
https://www.online-calculator.com/scientific-calculator/
This week, we are going to explore a really old math concept called the Pythagorean Theorem. It has to do with properties of right triangles that extend to engineering, mathematics, construction and more. There are a few notes that are worth taking, so let’s start with a link that will get you to definitions and general explanations about the theorem. WORTH NOTING: the site that I am sending you to contains a lot of internal links so, if you see a word you don’t know, you may be able to click on it and get more information.
https://www.mathsisfun.com/pythagoras.html
For more of the same general type of information, please download the following presentation.
