Homework for Wednesday Evening

Hello 6D Students:

Good job on your test today, I haven't finished marking them but I think that most of you have a good understanding of the unit.

Tonight, please watch the Chapter 7, Lesson 1 video for our new unit on Fractions, which we are starting on Thursday morning.

You can also spend five minutes on this IXL lesson on Comparing Fractions and Mixed Numbers. It is a Grade 5 lesson but it's a very good review for what we will be learning in Chapter 7.

Also, you can redo IXL lessons that are listed below in preparation for your test on Wednesday. You will also be using these links on Monday and Tuesday to prepare for your test.

On Friday evening, or over the weekend, please watch the video from Chapter 6, Lesson 4 in preparation for Monday's class. I do not have a new IXL lesson for you so please spend time in on an IXL area that you think would benefit you (one of the lessons over the last few days)!

Monday, January 23

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:09:00 +0000

Hi 6D Students:

We completed Lesson 3 today, so Thursday will be our mid-chapter review (you will miss math Tuesday and Wednesday). If you missed a video or IXL lesson, please make sure you view/complete those tonight. If there's a lesson that you had a tough time with, you might want to take a look at that video again.

Otherwise, I recommend that you spend some time on any of the IXL lessons that we have done in the last three blog posts and this lesson on ratio word problems.

Chapter 6, Lesson 3

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:37:00 +0000

Hello 6D Students:

Your next lesson on Monday will be on Chapter 6, Lesson 3, so please make sure you watch the video over the weekend. After watching, this IXL lesson on Percentages will be very helpful to you.

Don't forget to log in!

Chapter 6, Lesson 2

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:33:00 +0000

Hello 6D:

On Thursday evening, please view the video for Chapter 6, Lesson 2. After you have completed the video, spend at least five minutes on the IXL lesson for Equivalent Ratios. Remember that if you have a problem in IXL, you can always click "Explanation" for more information on why you made a mistake.

Also, don't forget to log in! I will be awarding a Golden Ticket for students who complete the most time or most problems solved on IXL and your progress can only be tracked if you are logged in!

A New Chapter: Chapter 6

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:30:00 +0000

Hello 6D:

On Thursday, January 19, we will begin Chapter 6: Ratio and Percent. On Wednesday evening, please view the video for Chapter 6, Lesson 1 and also complete these IXL exercises on Writing a Ratio to Describe Objects in a Picture.

Test Coming Up!

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:25:00 +0000

Hello 6D:

Your homework tonight and for the next few days until our test is to complete the work booklet that you received in class today. You should also review the six videos from Chapter 5.

If you have any questions, we'll be doing review in class and you can ask me then or you can send me an email.

Video for Wednesday

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:30:00 +0000

Hello Students:

Please view the Chapter 5, Lesson 6 video on Wednesday evening for Thursday's class. I recommend that you spend some time on the IXL lesson for translation, rotation, and reflection, but some of you have already logged a lot of hours so I'll leave that to you.

Don't forget that our test will be coming up on January 18, 2012. To prepare, watch the videos from Chapter 5 and also use the study book that I will be handing out Thursday.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:10:00 +0000

Because we had Director's Cut today, you don't have a new homework assignment (as long as you did your homework last night!).

First Monday in 2012!

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:05:00 +0000

Hello 6D students:

Today we practised some of the Chapter 5 concepts and skills that we learned before Christmas. If you haven't already, please view the Chapter 5, Lesson 5 video for Tuesday, January 10, 2012.

It's also a great idea to practise up on the skills in this IXL lesson.

Don't forget to visit this blog every evening that you have math! I will be assigning a video and practise exercise every night.

Thursday's Video and Christmas!

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:01:00 +0000

Hi 6D:

Good for you, checking the blog today! We didn't even have math class! Over the holidays, you do not have any homework, but before you return after the break, make sure you have watched Chapter 5, Lesson 5, which was assigned yesterday. We will be continuing with our motion geometry unit after the holidays.

In the meantime, if you start to miss math and you get tired of your Christmas presents, check out IXL and try to master some skills. You're welcome to visit other areas that you haven't been to yet.

Merry Christmas!

Wednesday's Video

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 21:14:00 +0000

We didn't have class today because of our preparations for the mass; I hope to see you there this evening!

In case you didn't watch the video yesterday, please do. If you have time tonight, here is a game that you can play to practice your basic math skills. You answer math questions and then get to put up Christmas lights on a house, depending on how many you answer.

Tuesday's Video

Hello 6D:

On Tuesday evening, please watch the Chapter 5, Lesson 5 video on transforming shapes of different kinds. There are only six lessons in this chapter on Motion Geometry so we're almost done!

Monday Evening Video

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:03:00 +0000

Hello 6D:

Since we didn't have a full class today, I'm going to give you Tuesday's class to work on Lesson 4 again. If you haven't already watched it, please view the video for Chapter 5, Lesson 4 for Monday evening.

It would also be a good idea to revisit the IXL lesson, as it is similar to the exercises in Lesson 4. Click here to go directly to the lesson.

Chapter 5 Video for Friday

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 22:31:00 +0000

After school on Friday, or sometime over the weekend, please view the Chapter 5, Lesson 4 videos (watch out, there are two). I recommend that you also spend a bit of time on IXL. You can do activities that you have done in the past, remember that it takes practice to master a skill!

Video for Wednesday and Thursday

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:20:00 +0000

Hi Students:

Friday is our mid-chapter review for Chapter 5. There isn't a video for that particular topic but you should watch videos 1-3 if you haven't already.

You should especially check out the video on Rotation, as we had a challenging time understanding this concept for the last two classes (Lesson 3).

Thanks for checking in!

IXL and Video for Tuesday

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:15:00 +0000

Hello 6D:

For Tuesday's assignment, please view the video for Chapter 5, Lesson 3 (use the tabs above to get to Chapter 5 and then scroll down).

Please continue working on the IXL Translation, Rotation, and Reflection exercises that you have been completing for the last few days (you can use the link in yesterday's post). Remember to spend at least five minutes!

Hi Students,

You'll be pleased to know that if you did your videos from last week, there is no new video tonight. Tuesday we will be completing Chapter 5, Lesson 2, so please watch that video by following the link above.

For IXL, your task is to complete problems regarding Translation, Reflection, and Rotation. Translation is what we did in class today, Reflection will be Tuesday, and Rotation will be on Wednesday.

Remember that you must have graph paper for your math classes all this unit.

IXL and Video for Friday

andreas.berko@cssd.ab.ca (Andreas Berko) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 23:13:00 +0000

This weekend, please find time for your Chapter 5, Lesson 2 video (see links above) and the IXL lesson on Relative Coordinates. This is a review IXL activity but the video is brand new.
