It is Friday! I won't be posting on here during the weekend. Even during school closures we all deserve a weekend.
The questions from yesterday were a little different, there are many ways to attack them. I gave you some ideas in my corrections/consolidations.

April 2nd,
Thanks for stopping by to do some math and keep your skills sharp. If you did the Kyle Lowry basketball questions yesterday, that is great. If you did the times table chart, that is great too.

I have switched it up a little bit today and stole some questions from one of my one of my favourite math teachers. These questions are a little bit different from what I have left the last couple of days. Take on one, or both.

Hey everybody. I hope you enjoyed some sunshine yesterday after a couple of dreary
If you stopped in to do some math yesterday, thanks. If you didn’t get a chance, no problem. Please feel free to take a look at yesterday’s work if you like. (I left Mini Golf Marble Slide is still open from Monday if you want to try it.)

For today we are going to revisit some multiplication, factors and prime numbers today.
Quick Reminder:
Prime Number - A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.
Primer Numbers - 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
I have listen above the prime numbers from 2 to 100.
Can you list the next three prime numbers without looking it up on the internet?
(Here is a multiplication table to help. Multiplcation Table Link)
Find the prime factors of these numbers using a factor tree. I have left a couple examples and some questions.

If you have access to tablet or computer try this out. (Sorry I don’t think this will work off a phone.) With “Mini Golf Marble Slide” your job is to use your graphing skills to help get all or one of the golf balls into the cup. You will need to use your graphing of points to help put lines in the right spots so that the ball lands in the cup. It will start out easy and get a little bit tougher. (I am going to leave the link open all day and night so if you can’t get to a laptop/tablet right away you can still play/learn.)

Thanks for coming back to work on some math today!
I hope you have had some time to look at the review of some key concepts that I have posted a couple of days ago and some basic circle formulas from a few days ago.
Here is the plan moving forward, I am going to try and post some questions that will make you think and challenge you. Some will be easier and some will be tougher. I will do my best to give you a mixture of questions on different mathematical topics.
Feel free to do one, a few or do them all.
I will also do my best to post solutions too.
I won’t post any questions on the weekend.
*I should also mention that I hope to have one of my favourite (and fun) challenges up and running on Monday.

First off, I hope you and your family are safe and well.
As we all know, we won’t be back at school for a while. As mentioned in class on the Friday before March Break, I will be updating our website each weekday. Each update will have two parts. The first part will be working through a new unit (circles). The second part will be some sort of review to keep the skills that we learned earlier fresh.
I recognize that during this unprecedented situation, family roles, responsibilities and stresses could be much different for students than they were a week or so ago. My intention is not to add any unnecessary stress, but to continue to provide learning opportunities for students until they return to regularly scheduled school.

Students worked on understanding the rules for multiplying negatives and positives.
The following sheet is for homework. (Students were allowed to skip 3 questions that were too easy or too difficult.)
March 2nd
We continued working on solidifying adding and subtracting for a good portion of the class today. From there we looked at why a negative multiplied by a positive is a negative. We have yet to attack why a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, but we will tomorrow.
The following homework sheet is to help students solidify what we have covered up to this point. (Some of the multiplication might be too advanced for us, in that case student can pick the right level of question for themselves.)
Adding - complete all
Subtracting - select 7 to complete
Multiplication - select 12 to complete
