A Trick to Remember...

Converting decimals to percents and percents to decimals is easy - as long as you remember which way to move the decimal point. In class today, Ry shared a trick that helps her remember. I had never heard this one before, and I like it. Maybe it will help you...

If you're changing TO A DECIMAL, move it two places to the LEFT (decimaL has an L for left).

If you're changing TO A PERCENT, move it two places to the RIGHT (peRcent has an R for right).

Thank you, Ry!!! :)

Good Practice

I can't stress enough how important it is that you can accurately perform the four operations with positive and negative numbers. I am re-posting this link from a few weeks ago.

In order to survive pre-algebra and algebra, you MUST know how to do this!!! Keep practicing - you will get it! :)

Last Minute, I Know...

I know that junior high is a huge change from elementary school, but you've all survived your first quarter (and most of you did very well!!!). Before I submit grades, I want to give you all one final opportunity... And I know this is last-minute, but I just decided to do it - spread the word to your friends who have me...

I know that every once in a while, you have a bad day or you have other stuff going on that prevents you from doing your best in math. Because of this, I'm allowing everyone to drop one homework assignment.

Here's what you need to do:
Look in Infinite Campus at your homework grades.
Find the lowest score (make sure you're choosing a HW grade and not extra credit)
Leave a comment here that includes 3 things:
- your first name (last initial, if necessary - no last names)
- your period
- the page number of the assignment you want me to drop

I will be finalizing grades on Sunday, so the deadline to do this is Saturday night. Again, because it is so last-minute, spread the word! :)

It's Amazing!!!

No math homework! Enjoy :)
