Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a marvelous Christmas vacation.

The majority of seventh & eighth grade students did a marvelous job 
researching and reporting on their stock companies. Hopefully, they have 
learned some tips that they will be able to use later in life. 

The following topics will be covered in my math classes:

Students in grade 5 will be multiplying whole numbers and dividing with a 
single digit divisor. They will not be permitted to use a calculator. We will 
continue to work on the speed and accuracy of our times table facts in 
school. 

Students in grade 6 will finish chapter 4.   They will learn how to divide 
decimals by decimals.  Next, they will learn about metric units of mass and 
capacity and convert metric units of measure.  As they start chapter 5, they 
will explore some aspects of number theory including divisibility, prime and 
composite numbers and factorization.

Students in Grade 7 will also finish chapter 4.  They will study factors and 
multiples, explore how to convert fractions and decimals to percents and vice-
versa and study the probability of simple events.  As they start chapter 5, 
they will learn how to solve operations with integers.

Students in Grade 8 will quickly finish chapter 4.  They will find the 
greatest common factor and least common multiple and use these concepts to 
compare and simplify fractions.  Finally, students will multiply and divide 
monomials and learn how to apply negative exponents in expressions and 
equations.   They will then skip to chapter 7 and learn how to solve multi-
step equations and inequalities.

Encourage your children to ask questions as math tends to get more difficult 
as the year progresses.
