6-WEEK STUDY GUIDE ANSWERS & EXTRA PRACTICE

THE 6-WEEK EXAM IS TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29

Below you will find the answers to the study guide problems and some extra practice problems. If you work the practice problems all the answers are in the back of the textbook.

"So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it."

Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what movie this quote came from. Submit your answers to me on a 1/2 sheet of paper in class. :)

So its time again to gear up for the 6-week exam. Are you ready? I hope you are. Remeber if you don't make a 70% or higher you will be in mandatory tutoring until the end of the 9 weeks.

Today in class I have a study guide for you to complete. Everything on it is fair game for the exam. I will even being selecting 10 questions from the Study Guide for the test. Below you will find the study guide that will be given out in class today.

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY

Of all the math properties we use it is EXTREMELY important that the 6th graders know how to use the distributive property correctly. At this time I don't believe we have had success reaching this goal. We are going to continue working on this so don't give up. Below are some activities that will help you get better at using the distributive property.

Distributive Property

Distributive Property - along with like terms and simplifying expressions

LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE TERMS?

Last nights assignment was about simplifying expressions. To do this you first must know how to combine like terms. For example, in 5x, the term is x.

If I have:

I color coded the like terms. Like Terms means that the terms are the same (terms are the variables and/or exponents that are behind the numbers (coefficients)

In the following example I am going to show you how to combine like terms in order to simplify the expressions. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SIMPLIFY DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN YOU WILL GET A FINAL ANSWER.

I color coded the like terms again just to show you what I combined. Notice that I did not get a final numeric answer. There is nothing else that can be done to this expression, this is as simplified as it can get.

MATH - A - THON

Every year the 6th grade participated in the St. Jude Children's Reasearch Hospital MATH-A-THON. In the past we have raised over $6000 for the Hospital. Participation is not required but I do encourage it, in the past years we have had BCMS students at St. Jude, so we are able to see how we are helping out.

How do you participate?
1. Get sponsors. (After you turn in a permission slip)
2. Do the math. (Complete all the math problems and puzzles in your Funbook)
3. Collect donations. (Collect the funds pledged by your sponsors)

Donations can be collected as flat donations if you choose not to complete the Funbook.

Permission slips will be sent home today.
