Spring Break Math

Students did a great job giving their best effort on the DCCAS! Our school received good marks from DCPS observers for our testing environment. Therefore, as a reward, students will have no official Math HW over spring break.

This week students my students had one HW due on probability. For 7th Grade Math (periods 3,5,&6) it was Page 637 (1-8, 25) and for Algebra (periods 2 & 8) it was Page 136 (1-22).

Enjoy the break and Happy Easter,
Mr. Sunukjian

DCCAS Starts Tomorrow!

This past week all of my classes have been reviewing for the DCCAS.  Each student has received a "Study Guide" (sorry for the format change on google docs) and each student has been asked to bring a calculator to the first day of the Test.  the DCCAS only allows a calculator on the first math section.  Please encourage your student to give their BEST EFFORT on each and every question.  This begins with the preparation of an early bed time and protein rich breakfast.

There will be no math HW during this testing week.

Math HW Set #22 Continued and Bring Calculator

This week students reviewed for the DCCAS and had two HW assignments:

1) Page 584 (1-5, 30) from last week
2) Page 803 (1-12) chapter 1 extra practice
3) Page 804 (32-39) chapter 2 extra practice

Students also need to bring a calculator (simple operations) this week to prepare for the DCCAS starting in April.

Algebra Period 2 & 8 HW & Bring Calculator

This week students continued in Chapter 3 and took a quiz.  Their HW was:

3) Page 127 (4-28)
4) Page 128 (1-14)
and Page 131 (1-21) over the weekend.

Each student took a quiz on Thursday and period 2 students got theirs back on Friday.  Overall many algebra students are struggling with solving equations and many of them will need to get extra help.  I will be staying after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for 30 minutes of tutoring.  Please recommend your student to attend if they need the help.

Also, each student needs to bring a calculator (simple operations) to school this week to prepare for the DCCAS starting in April.
