Howitt’s Math Home

Here is what you are working on for Math SLC.

Copy your screen shot of your evidence of completion from IXL. The same one you emailed to me.

1.) Comparing your list of IXL assignments to the assigned ones, how well and how productive were you. Explain your success or difficulties you encountered.

2.) How much time have you been investing into the IXL skills on average, not just the one you spent the most time on. Do you feel you should be putting more time in? Why or why not?

3.) What skills are you most successful at? Explain why you find this skill to be your most successful.

4.) Compare the assigned IXL to the related exams. How did you perform? Carefully examine your exams and then the amount of time and scores you achieved on the IXL. Explain how you can use IXL to maintain or improve your understanding.

These are the IXL you should have completed by the end of term:

C5, C3, C1, E3, E7, E6, N3, N5, N6, N4, J13, S1,S2, S3,V3, X6, X12, X14

It is almost spring break. I hope the students have a restful and fun filled holiday.

When we return students will be reviewing the content we have been working on before being introduced to direct variation and linear systems.

Dates to remember: Unit 5 final: April 13/14

ERB: April 11/12

MAP Testing: April 20-22

Hello Kiddies.

Welcome back to school and I hope you have a great break. For the next two weeks we will be looking at:

Scale figures,

Applying scale,

Review and then next Thursday/Friday you have a unit 4 final.

Please begin to review now as we are changing how you are eligible to take a rewrite and you will need to provide evidence of study, so let’s do it correctly the first time.

As the week winds down I would like to wish you all a happy Chinese New Year. Have safe travels and we will see the students back on February 9th.

Good Day students.

As you may have noticed I have begun my paternity leave for the arrival of Little Baby Howitt 2. Currently he does not have a name but he will soon. I will bring him by to visit you all once he is ready. I will be back with you after the holiday. During this time Mr. Knorr will be with you. I have uploaded all the notes you will need to the server. These are for the lessons till the end of December.  As well I have made sure Mr. Knorr has all the work you need to be ready for my return.

Here is a picture of a baby…not mine.

Learning with Isabella and Morena.

Hello all

This week we will be finishing your digital movies explaining how to apply operations to decimals. We will then spend a lesson on solving decimals with variables before your midterm on Friday. (All math classes will be seen on Friday).
