DIVISIBILITY RULES ACTIVITY - FIND THE TREASURE

Today we are playing "Find the Treasure," in groups. The treasure map is posted on the SmartBoard and as a group gets a correct answer they get to choose a location to select, hoping the treasure is there. If they find a treasure they get candy.

Using the Divisibility Rules each group has been given a packet of 5 large numbers to test the rules. They are not allowed to move on until I have checked their answer and they have chosen a number from the treasure map.

Order of Operations Quiz

MULTI-DIGIT MULTIPLICATION

Back in the swing of things......Not so much. I am struggling to keep the blog updated. Today I will catch everyone up. Today we assessed on Multi-Digit Multiplication using Kahoot, which is always a good time. However, I do believe it wasn't fun for all. Tomorrow everyone will do some more problems just in case the issue on the assessment was due to the timer. Below is a picture of today's board.

PLACE VALUE OR SHOULD I SAY PLACE & VALUE

I have found that a large number of students have a misconception involving the values of digits in a particular place. I think this is due to the name of the concept, "place value." If students are asked to locate a place or a digit in a place they do well. When asked to give the value of the digit in a place, they often are confused as to what they are supposed to do. The following anchor chart was shared in class and really seemed to help them quite a bit. Since that discussion students have practiced the skill on Prodigy, completed a group discussion activity, and have been assessed on the skill.

COMBINATION LOCK PRACTICE!!!!!!!

The least favorite thing about starting Middle School is the LOCKER. This site is the best practice I have ever found for working those combinations. You get to enter your own combination and practice it over and over until you have it mastered.

Thank you Hoodamath.com teachers everyone appreciate you. Click the link below and enter your combination to practice.

BACK TO SCHOOL WHEEL - PROCEDURES & EXPECTATIONS

WE HEART PRODIGY!!!!

I would like to Congratulate my 3rd block class. They competed in the Prodigy Math World Series and finished 118th out of 1096 classes. I was very very proud of there performance. To celebrate we had cookie cake and it turned out great too!!!!

BIG THANKS to Great American Cookie Co. in Paducah KY

MORE ORDER OF OPERATIONS & COLORING

Students are finalizing their review of the Order of Operations with an IXL assignment 6.O.3 and then completing the leaf coloring sheet for an assessment score.

ORDER OF OPERATIONS - REVIEWING THE CONCEPT

Students were polled at the beginning of class. We then went over the diagram below to discuss the real method. We discussed the misconceptions and the new symbols that help us multiply. 

We practice the following problems together, some of the examples are shown.

EXPONENT ASSESSMENT

We used this worksheet to count as our final assessment over exponents before jumping in to the Order of Operations.

EXPONENT PRACTICE

 These sheets were used for practice. Student practiced answering questions related to repeat multiplication and finding the value of the given problems written in exponential form.


After we finished reviewing exponents, students worked on IXL 6.D.2 and then did a quick assessment using PRODIGY

EXPONENTS - INTRODUCTION & NOTES

Along with this slide we discussed using the word squared and cubed to demonstrate the 2nd and 3rd power.

INTRODUCTION TO THE 4-QUADRANTS

In class today we discussed a quadrant 1 activity we did for review. We then branches off of that to talk about the other 3 quadrants. The above notes were taken and discussed detail by detail as I clicked through the slide. I love slide animations! The last 2 slides were to allow us time to practice naming points and fininding points. Tomorrow is the real test of plotting points. 

BUSY DAY - MULTI-TASKING

Today in class students were turning in their homework, getting their new weekly homework, finishing their Prodigy assignment, quizzing over ordering integers from least to greatest and reviewing plotting points in the 1st quadrant.

While all of this was taking place students were called randomly to draw 6 rocks and arrange them from least to greatest order.
