Hello 8th Grade Parents,
I am using today's blog to highlight Math Mania Night. Next Tuesday, January 12th, is the second annual Math Mania Night at NPES from 6-7 in the evening. Last year, the event was a great success and everyone found the evening to be fun. This year, I have put the evening in the students' hands and asked them to decide what would be the most enjoyable way to spend an hour at school working on math. We have worked as a class to decide what they want to do for the evening. They came up with some great ideas and I think it will be a lot of fun. If your planning on joining us on the 12th, please RSVP Math Mania RSVP . Please come join us.
This week in math, we have started our fourth unit of the year on systems of equations. Basically, this is finding the coordinates of the location where two lines cross. We started the unit out today by identifying what makes two lines parallel and what makes two lines perpendicular. For the rest of the week, we will learn how to solve systems of equations by graphing and substitution.
Upcoming Assignments:
POW Line Logic due on Monday January 11
Questions to ask at home:
What is needed for two lines to be parallel?
What is needed for two lines to be perpendicular?
