As we begin our third week of the year in 7th grade at West End, we will start the week by assessing unit rates and complex fractions. We will then move on to our new unit, Proportionality. We will start the unit by seeing what makes a relationship proportional or non-proportional. We will then begin solving proportional equations where there is an unknown factor called a variable. Science As we move toward our engineering unit (inspired by the short story "Harrison Bergeron

We will continue our studies in rational number operations focusing on real-world problem solving as well as turning fractions to decimals. Please make sure your child knows these two definitions: terminating decimal and repeating decimal. I will give a quick assessment on these standards on Monday. We will then move into unit rates and complex fractions. We will be exploring how these concepts are handled in every day life. Please make sure you are checking you child's agenda to see if they have any homework. Science We will continue studying the steps of the scientific method, with an emphasis on differentiating between independent and dependent variables in experiments. After a mid-week assessment to gauge mastery of the inquiry process, we will move into the design/engineering process. This unit will be introduced with the short story "Harrison Bergeron" and will culminate in an engineering project in which students will create a biomedical product that will handicap their own greatest strength. More information on the project will be sent out next week. Please make sure you are checking your child's agenda to see if they have any homework. |
