Week of Aug. 31st

Well, we made it through our first week of school.  All and all, it was a good week.  We now know the procedures at MPMS so now it is time to start school for real.  Here is our schedule for the week:

Monday - Introduce integers and discuss how to compare and order integers.  We will also learn about Absolute value.

Tuesday - Addition of Integers

Wednesday - Today, we will take a Pre-Test over computation with integers, fractions, and decimals.

Thursday - Subtraction of Integers

Friday - We will do a review activity over addition and subtraction of integers.

In my previous post I had a Bonus Question of the Week.  If you go back and read it I will allow you to turn it in by this Friday (Sept. 4th).  Following the directions to receive the bonus points.

Lets have a good week at MPMS.

Welcome to 7th Grade Pre-AP Math

I just wanted to say Welcome to Mance Park Middle School.  This year in math I guarantee you are going to learn something new.  It may not see so at first, but it will happen.  We will begin the year by ensuring you can do basic computation with integers, fractions, and decimals.  We will then apply those skills over and over and over again with algebraic concepts.  We will cover everything from basic algebra to trigonometry.  That may sound like a lot, and it is, but I know each and everyone of you can handle it if you do one thing:  STUDY!

I look forward to be your math teacher this year.

Bonus Question of the Week:

In Mr. Nash's math classes 40% of his 156 students have iPhones, 25% have a Samsung phone, 10% have some other brand, and the rest don't have a phone.  How many students have each type of phone or no phone at all?  Round each answer to the nearest whole person.

Instructions to receive 10 Bonus points:
Copy the problem to sheet of paper.  Solve the problem and show your work.  Write a complete sentence answering the question and turn it in with your name on it by Friday, August 28th.
