Welcome to ART & MATH with Madame Mansfield!
Here you will find information about your child's Art & Math classes.
I will update this page daily with Math homework and add information pertaining to projects, homework, what we are studying in class and/or any other important information.
________________________________________
November 30 Today we begin to look at circles and the relationship of Pi to radius and diameter.
homework: calculating the circumference of circles (posted in the Workspace)
MATH test tomorrow! Fractions, decimals, percent. ******Remember:
fraction to a decimal: divide numerator by denominator
decimal to percent: (remember "par cent") x100
percent to fraction: put the percentage over 100 (you can simplify or find an equivalent fraction)
You can practice by playing the math games on the workspace. :)
November 16: Today we will review the math practice in order to prepare for tomorrow's test.
MATH TEST: Tuesday, November 17th (Converting Fractions, Decimals & Percents)
November 12: Practice for next week's math test (Mathspace). To be completed for homework.
November 11: Calculating Fractions, Decimals and Percents. We will continue to practice converting fractions to decimals to percents. See the workspace for helpful videos. Homework: Converting fractions to decimals (jamboard) in Hapara
November 10: Today we worked on simplifying fractions. Please see the helpful video posted in the Workspace. In order to simplify fractions, we must find the greatest common factor of both the numerator and the denominator. Homework: Google forms (simplifying fractions) posted in Hapara.
November 9: Today we are looking more closely at equivalent fractions. This will allow us to practice reducing (simplifying fractions). Homework: Equivalent Fractions worksheet (4th column in the workspace)
November 6: Today we did a fractions, decimals and percents activity using a Halloween bag of skittles for each student.
November 5: Today we continue to practice converting fractions to decimals to percents using the chart posted yesterday. Homework: finish conversion worksheet
November 4: Today we learned about converting fractions to decimals, decimals to percents and percentages into fractions. We practiced in class on Mathspace. This chart may be helpful :)
Homework: Textbook page 58, #5, 6, 7
a PDF of the Textbook is available in Hapara
November 3:
November 2: Today was the Math Test. Tests are marked and handed back, please ask your child how they did. no homework today
October 30: To celebrate Halloween, we did a digital breakout involving algebraic equations, visual patterns and input-output relationships. Congratulations to Noah and Damian who busted out in a RECORD: 13 minutes!!!!! In fact, every single students was able to breakout within 30 minutes. ARe you smarter than a 7th grader? Go ahead & give it a try: Trick or treat breakout
Homework: There is no homework on Friday. Happy Halloween!!!
October 29: Today we took up the answers from yesterdayès test prep.
Homework: There is no homework today :)
October 28: We will use the class today to prepare for the test on Monday, November 2nd
Homework: Finish Test prep (available in Workspace)
October 27: We are continuing to practice the skill of creating a graph from a table of values derived from an algebraic expression.
Homework: Activity in Mathspace
October 26: Today we learned to plot a graph from a table of values.
Homework: Use the equation to complete the table of values and then plot the graph (remember to do 15 - 20 minutes only) I have added some difficult equations as a challenge for those of you who want to give it a shot!
October 23: Algebra Jeopardy! (available in the Workspace)
No Homework on Fridays :)
October 22: Today we learned that we can determine an algebraic expression from a visual pattern by creating a table of values for the input and the output.
Homework: Representing Linear Patterns Concretely (in Workspace)
October 21
Today we will continue to learn how to determine algebraic expressions.
Homework: Google doc posted in the workspace. Must be "submitted" electronically. (When students have finished their homework, they must click "submit")
October 20
Today we reviewed last night homework (extending patterns). Corrections are in Hapara. Then we began to look at taking a pattern rule and writing an algebraic expression for it. This is very handy when it comes to figuring out a very large term without having to extend the pattern. For example, the 254th term.
Homework: The is a game posted on the workspace (Mathplayground). Students should practice determining algebraic expressions for 15-20 minutes.
October 19
Today we looked at patterning as it relates to functions. (Mme Mansfield was away today)
This week in art: Students have work periods to finish their colour theory project. This must be submitted through Hapara workspace.
October 16
Today we worked on order of operations. Students were challenged to find an equation for each number from 1-24. They could use any operation at all (brackets, exponents, multiplication, addition...etc.). The challenge is that they MUST use: 1, 2, 3, and 4 (and they could only use them once!) Congratulations to Carolina who found 16 equations and Noah who found 13!
October 15
Dividing decimal numbers. Please see Hapara workspace for today's lesson and helpful links.
Homework: Mathspace: Long Division With Decimals
October 14
Today, we began with a multiplication quiz, we reviewed last night's homework, then we looked at long division and with decimals instead of remainders. We also looked at how to divide decimals by whole numbers and how to divide decimal numbers by other decimal numbers.
Homework: Long/short division of decimals available in Hapara
October 13
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today, we relearned/reviewed long division and short division. See the Workspace for tips and videos.
Homework: Long/short division practice available in Hapara
This week in art (October 13 - October 16): We are working on colour. Colours can be warm or cold, we will look at how shade, tint, value and hue change the way we see colours. We will learn about the psychology of colours. Then, students will begin a colour project. All links to lessons and project are in the Art workspace in Hapara.
October 9
Today, we had a blast! We played Jeopardy to review the concepts we have learned so far:
multiples, factors, order of operations, exponents, place value, whole and decimals numbers.
October 8
Place Value using exponents: WE explored the concept that the entire base-10 system can be represented using exponents:
the 1s place = 100 any number to the 1st power is 1
the 10s place = 101 10 only 1 time = 1
the 100s place = 102 because 10 x10 = 100
the 1000s place = 103 because 10 x10 x10 = 1000
the 10 000s place = 104 because 10 x 10 x10 x 10 = 10 000
ETC.....
Homework: Place value with exponents #1-#12 (available in Hapara Workspace: 7-03 Math)
October 7
Today we looked at the place value of whole AND decimal numbers. We talked about how to express numbers in expanded form using decimals (fractional notation).
Homework: Complete #5 and #6 on the 3rd page of yesterday's Decimal Place Value PDF
October 6
Today we are working on place value including decimal place value to the thousandths. We reviewed how to order integers (whole numbers) and decimal and fractional numbers.
1-Read the first page (listed as page 2) for instructions.
October 5
Today we had a math quiz. Everyone did quite well! Quizzes were marked and emailed back to students.
This week in art (october 5 - October 9): We will continue to work on our shading project (instructions are in the Hapara Workspace: Grade 7 Visual Art). The shading project is due October 7th and should be submitted electronically through Hapara. Later this week, we will Look at colour theory and the psychology of colour.
October 2
Today we finished up with the test review. There is some math practice available to any students who want to study. Khan academy practice This practice is also link in the Hapara Workspace.
A few things to remember for the test (we went over these in class but it might be worth a reminder):
1 - The word lowest (fewest, minimum..etc) probably means we are looking for the LCM - the lowest common multiple. To find the LCM, list out the multiples of 2 given numbers and look for the lowest one they have in common. EX:
2 - The word greatest (largest, most, biggest...etc.) probably means we are looking for the GCF - the greatest common factor. To find the GCF, find all the factors of 2 given numbers and look for the biggest one they have in common. EX:
October 1
Today we took up the math review answers from yesterday's homework. We only got half way through, we will take up the rest tomorrow. The answers from today's review are posted in the Workspace under: Test Review Answers (October 1)
Homework: For anyone who has not finished their review, it should be finished tonight so we can take up the remaining answers in the morning. For the two word problems, you will see the words "given", "solve" and "statement". These are there as reminders to students to:
1-locate and write down the information "given" in the problem.
2-"Solve" the problem. I need to see the math (show your work).
3- provide a "statement" which answers the question.
