Greetings Super Heros! 

A little behind.. But none the less you have seen the class notes that I have posted for 4th period. 5th and 6th periods notes will be up today.. I think.. This is something new to help those of you who have been out sick or to help you and your parents understand what we are working on and how to do it... I have to thank A and K for helping with notes. Two excellent students who clearly take superior notes and are willing to share them with us! Thank you both! :)

The 411 for the week!

2nd and 5th Period: 


Yes... this long division is LONGGGGGGGG but at least we are not spending heaps of time on it! You guys did great with the reaction time and dividing decimals.... very impressive... so for the rest of the week we will be working on exponents and a little order of operations... just a pinch! Short week next week ... so we are trying to squeeze as much in this week as possible. Remember you need to study your math facts when you do not meet your goal!!!

BLOG QUESTION FOR 2nd and 5th Period:


Every Sunday Batman has to fill up the Batmobile. If he spent $24.02 one week, and $34.35 the next, and then $22.47 the next week how much did Batman spend in three weeks? AND... what was the difference in price between the first week and the second and the second week and the third?

4th Period:


Fractions fractions... and more fractions.... We have been moving right along... dealing with fractions.. Attacking them like Luke would if he were surrounded by Strom Troopers! This week we will be working on adding and subtracting mixed numbers. Remember what you can and cannot mix together! Also you guys did great with the cookies... well really with multiplying mixed numbers.. The cookie dough was just a way to learn to multiply! But the reports that I get .. Except a few of you.. Who burnt them.. That they were very tasty!  Here are some pictures of our Bakers! 


BLOG QUESTION FOR 4th Period:  

If Spider man was taking his spidery dog Sam for a run... and they came upon numerous worms in the road.. Must be the rain huh? Anyhow... if Worm A moves a total of 1 inch in 2 hours how many feet has Worm A moved in 8 hours? Then if Worm B moves 1/4 of Worms A total distance (in 8 hours) how far has Worm B moved?

As spidey says... Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man. You too have great power.. Be responsible, you can do great things!


AND Remember, as always, you are amazing, incredible people with the whole world waiting to be changed by YOU!


Be SUPER This Week!
Mr. Rott
