Welcome to the Shark Team The Shark Team will be available for tutoring every Tuesday from 2:30 to 3:30. Different teachers from the team will stay each week. However, if you need extra help on a specific topic just ask and I will try to be available. Remember to arrange transportation before you come to school. Dates to remember: Early Release on Oct. 29 Collecting Box Tops throughout October - turn in 20 Box Tops and you may wear jeans on Nov. 6 Old Salem trip - Nov. 5 Report Cards will be distributed Nov.10 True learning involves "figuring out how to use what you already know in order to go beyond what you already think." --Jerome Bruner A primary focus throughout the entire year will be implementing the best problem solving strategies for each written problem. Below is a list of the most often used strategies. Think of others to add to our list. * Re-read the problem * Draw a picture * Make a chart * Solve a simpler problem * Underline the key information * What is the question I need to answer? * Guess and check * Eliminate wrong answer choices * Answer ALL multiple-choice questions * Write down all the steps - Don't try to do too many calculations in your head! * Estimate then calculate * Use the calculator to avoid mistakes adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing numbers * Use extra paper to work the problems if too little space is provided. Leave plenty of room between problems and remember to write the number neatly. * Did I answer the question? * Does the answer seem reasonable? The 8th grade North Carolina Standard Course of study is available at www.learnnc.org. This an abbreviated list of goals and the percent of the EOG that will come from that goal. Goal 1: Numeration (10-15%)
My vision is to inspire all students to improve their critical thinking skills and develop strategies for solving verbal math problems; set ambitious goals for personal success; become responsible for their learning; live a healthy lifestyle; become ethical and democratic citizens; and become life-long learners! 3 Basic Expectations (1) Be Respectful! (2) Be Responsible! (3) Be Ready to Learn! |
