Hope everyone has enjoyed a great weekend!!  This week we will complete Chapter 2 with Algebraic expressions, translating words into math, combining like terms and solving equations using addition/subtraction and multiplication and division. 

Concepts and objectives, following the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, include:

1.01       Develop and use ratios, proportions and percents to solve problems.

1.02       Develop fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational numbers.

   1. Analyze computational strategies.

   2. Describe the effect of operations on size.

   3. Estimate the results of computations.

   4. Judge the reasonableness of solutions.of solutions.

1.03      Develop flexibility in solving problems by selecting strategies and using mental computation, estimation, calculators or computers, and paper and pencil.

2.01      Draw objects to scale and use scale drawings to solve problems.

2.02      Solve problems involving volume and surface area of cylinders, prisms, and composite shapes.

3.01      Using three-dimensional figures:

1. Identify, describe, and draw from various views (top, side, front, corner).
2. Build from various views.
3. Describe cross-sectional views.

4.01     Collect, organize, analyze, and display data (including box plots and histograms) to solve problems.

4.02     Calculate, use, and interpret the mean, median, mode, range, frequency distribution, and inter-quartile range for a set of data.

4.03     Describe how the mean, median, mode, range, frequency distribution, and inter-quartile range of a set of data affect its graph.

4.04     Identify outliers and determine their effect on the mean, median, mode, and range of a set of data.

4.05     Solve problems involving two or more sets of data using appropriate statistical measures.    Identify, analyze, and create linear relations, sequences, and functions us

5.02     Translate among different representations of algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities. 

5.03     Use and evaluate algebraic expressions, linear equations or inequalities to solve problems.

5.04     Develop fluency in the use of formulas to solve problems.

NOTE TO PARENTS:

  Your middle school student will have homework 4 nights a week!  If you are unsure if your child has math homework, you can call my homework hotline at 704-633-2922, Ext. 501 to find out!!
