(2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations;

Dear Arroyo Seco Students & Staff,

The fire burning in the Santa Paula and Ojai area has put thousands of families displaced and hundreds without homes. My cousin is a teacher at Matilija Junior High School, a local Junior High in Ojai, and is hoping to return home safely. She knows many of her students that no longer have homes and will be in desperate need of supplies. As a community I would love to make bags for these families to help them with what they no longer have in this devastating tragedy.

Assignment

 Today we started the math BINDER.  The students put a title page section for quarter 1 Ch 3 Integers & Ch 4 Fractions & Decimals.  These title pages include the class norms, pencil contract, a place to record grades each week from INFINITE CAMPUS, math goals (please write these on your own due Friday), steps to success in math, and how to be an amazing math student.
 
We made a section for Math Homework. Students were reminded to "ALWAYS SHOW YOUR WORK!" This section is the Chapter 3 Integer Operations in class notes and homework packet. Students discovered the numerical meaning of words such as 8 degrees below zero = -8, a deposit of $15 = +15 etc. In class we started an intro to integers and began the "Bank Robber" worksheet.  Most students need to take 5 minutes to finish this page.  It is due tomorrow.
 
The HOMEWORK due Tuesday: "Eskimos & Mouth" will allow the students to practice and review some basic integers skills.
