Rational Expressions by Mrs. Struemph

What a fun way to end the unit on Probability and the School Year!

Congratulations to Marlo and Taylor on competing in the Diocesan Science Fair!   Their project was to build a Rube Goldberg machine and then determine if the mass or the speed of the ball had the greatest impact on whether they could turn on the light-up duck at the end with it!

8th grade students have been busy learning the Basic Scientific Method!  They have designed projects about rollar coasters, Newton’s Cradle, chemical reactions, Rube Goldburg machines, magnets, and catapults!

Thursday – Sports Games – sorry no photos but made up for it on Friday

Friday was ……Video Games with a little Mario Kart!

WEDNESDAY!  – Board Games!  7th grade math students solved a mystery of “whodunnit” by solving algebraic expressions to get the clues!

Tuesday –  Carnival Games!  Everyone loves carnival games and canival treats.  Math students completed carnival-themed games with signed intergers, order of operations and distributive property.   7S homeroom had popcorn at the end of the day!

Monday –  Card Games!  7th and  8th  math  students  used  playing  cards  to  work  positive  and  negative  math  equations!
