CCSS.Math.7.RP.2b(NQ3) Constant Rate of Change

Dear Girls and Boys,

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your video notebook.  Make certain to define the vocabulary terms as well. If you did not finish your work on lesson 6 Solving Proportions(HW and PS), you must complete as homework as well. 

We are moving onto one of the most important concepts in algebra with Constant Rate of Change!  So pay close attention to the blog and the videos.  First of all, let's take care of the vocabulary- RATE OF CHANGE- this is how one thing changes with another.  And when you are talking about CONSTANT RATE OF CHANGE- you are talking about a line - such as when you have a line on a graph, each x and y coordinate, changes at the same rate.  BET this cleared up all the fog right!lol .  It follows what we have been doing right along with the charts- and graphs.  

And just a test to see if you are indeed reading my blog, write down the words- Math is Awesome in your video notebook in the heading.

CCSS.Math.7.RP.3(NQ.3) Solve Proportional Relationships

Dear Girls and Boys,

HOMEWORK: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your video notebooks. PLUS - make corrections from your assessment on a separate sheet of paper - label it CORRECTIONS and STAPLE it to the back of the assessment.  Secondly, have your parents/guardians sign the test.  

We are speeding through proportions to Solving Proportions.   First of all, a proportion is an Equation stating that 2 ratios or rates are equivalent.  We can use CROSS PRODUCT to solve many of these proportions.  So listen to the videos and pay attention to cross product and cross simplify in the examples.  

This is Jacoby, I guess he does not like having his picture taken......!!! He belongs to Brady and what a beauty!

CCSS.Math.7.RP.2. Graphing Proportional Relationships

Dear Girls and Boys,

We are marching on with Proportions, but we are adding a graphing component.  Remember in the last section on PROPORTIONS, we made a table and it had 2 labels, well these will magically turn into graphing! So with all graphs, there is a host of vocabulary terms you must be familiar with: coordinate plane, quadrants, ordered pairs, x and y coordinates, x and y axises, origin.  I am betting that you understand several of these terms already with the work you have done last year in math.  In your Video/Vocabulary notebooks, cut out a graph on GRAPH PAPER and define the terms with examples and paste into your notebooks. 

This is ROCKY!!! Whitney owns this little beauty!  What a cutie!

CCSS.Math.7.RP.2b(NQ3a) Proportional & Non Proportional Relationships

Dear girls and boys,

We are moving on with Proportional and Non proportional Relationships.  Can you figure out how this comes into play with Unit Rates and Unit Ratios? How are these all connected?  I  will be asking this question on the assessment coming soon, so be prepared! 

Proportional means that 2 quantities are equal, so non proportional means these 2 quantities are not equal.  Watch the videos and ask questions !!! 

HOMEWORK: Read the blog, watch the videos and record in your video notebook. Write down the answer to the questions above to prepare for your assessment coming to a class near you!

CCSS.Math.7. RP.1a NS.3(NQ.1a) COMPLEX FRACTIONS

Good morning girls and boys,

I hope you are finding the math content and pace to your liking.  We are moving on so I hope you have UNIT RATES down packed.  We are going to jump into fractions, but before you panic, it will be fairly easy.  So, we are building on what you did last years on fractions, and going to learn about COMPLEX FRACTIONS!  Just when you thought fractions couldn't get worse!

A Complex Fraction is a fraction inside a fraction.  Hang on for this ride and keep an open mind and ASK QUESTIONS!!! 

This is Harley, Kyla's pup.  He is very energetic and friendly!  What a sweetie.

Go to the TAB - Numbers and Quantities and then scroll down past the rubric to the 2nd set of videos. 

As always in MATH,
