Welcome to Miss Berry's Math Class!

Here's what's happening this week in 8th Grade Math...

Week:  May 14-18, 2012

Textbook/Material: G3 Algebra Skills Unit

  Book Overview:   Students will learn various Algebra 1 Skills.  Students will be taking Cornell Notes during this unit.

TEKS addressed:

8.4 Patterns, Relationships and Algebraic Reasoning.  The students makes connections among various representations of a numerical relationship.  The student is expected to:

(A) generate a different representation of data given another representation of data (such as a table, graph, equation, or verbal description).

8.5 Patterns, Relationships and Algebraic Reasoning. The student uese graphs, tables and algebraic representations to make predictions and solve problems. The student is expected to:

(A) predict, find, and justify solutions to applicationproblems using appropriate tables, graphs, and algebraic equations.

(B) find and evaluate an algebraic expression to determine any term in an arithmetic sequence (with a constant rate of change).

8.2 Number, Operations, and Quantitative Reasoning.  The student selects and uses appropriate operations to solve problems and justify solutions.  The student is expected to:

(A) select appropriate operations to solve problems and justify selections.
