EXPONENT PRACTICE

Games and Extra Practice with Exponents

Big Number = Base
Little Number = Exponent (POWER)
Repeated Multiplication = Base x Base x Base
Exponential Notation = Base with an exponent

PLOTTING POINTS ON A COORDINATE GRID - EXTRA HELP AND PRACTICE

Today in class we reviewed the quadrants and what the ordered pairs from each should look like. From there we made sure we remembered how to plot a point on the grid. Quadrant 1 was a review for all students and we added the other 3 quadrants to make the entire coordinate grid. All students are responsible for plotting and name points from all 4 quadrants.

PLOTTING AND NAME ORDERED PAIRS ON THE COORDINATE GRID

Today in class we reviewed Quadrant 1 on the Coordinate Grid. Everyone got a quick refresher on plotting points in Quadrant 1 and then we moved on to the whole Coordinate Grid, looking at all 4 Quadrants.















Each Quadrants is labeled and examples of the signs of the ordered pairs are given. Make sure you can recognize where a point should go based on the ordered pair only.

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 2013

Today in class we will be finishing up the decimal operations test. If students have already finished they will be working more problems and will be practicing showing their work (Very Important)

If we have time students will begin to get ready for our next unit on Integers. Students will be filling out a KWL sheet on integers (its ok if they don't know much.....YET) On the back of their chart is a list of important vocabulary words and concepts that will be focused on throughout the unit. Students will also have a chance to read some imformative text about integers and perhaps have a better understanding of what we will be working with for weeks ahead.
