Pirate Buried Treasure Below!

WELCOME TO THE 8TH GRADE!

I am available after school for extra help on Mondays and Thursdays.  Students can stay until 4:00 and should have a ride at school to pick them up at that time.

The calendar above this site includes information about tests, homework assignments, projects and all class or team activities.

The second quarter ends on January 21st. 

No school for students on November 11th and November 26-28. 

The rules are as follows:

When adding integers that are the same sign add and keep the sign.

When adding integers that are different in sign SUBTRACT and keep the sign of the larger number.

When subtracting integers keep the first number the same, change the subtraction to addition and change the second number to its opposite sign.  Then follow the above addition rules.

When multiplying or dividing numbers that are the same sign the answer is POSITIVE.

When multiplying or dividing numbers that are different in sign the answer is NEGATIVE.

There are flashcards above to practice the application of the above rules.

For additional practice and examples of these rules please click on the attachments at the bottom of this site.  They are Powerpoint files so if you don't have Powerpoint on your computer please first click on the link directly below this sentence to download it for FREE!

Accelerated Math is required each week.  36 ojectives should be mastered each quarter which works out to about 4-5 each week.  Please do not procrastinate !

PLEASE provide an e-mail address if you have one so that you can be kept up to date on all class changes.  I will try to e-mail grades this year to those who have e-mail which is an excellent way to stay on top of any problems before they can't be fixed.  If you have not received an e-mail from me yet either I don't have your address or I have the wrong one.  Several messages have come back undeliverable.

Always feel free to call or e-mail me and let me know if there is anything I can do to make this a better year. Many problems are due to a simple miscommunication and a ten minute conversation can make a big difference! PLEASE don't hesitate to call or e-mail if you have concerns.  If this site still leaves you with questions please check out the site below.

 
 

 

Please call me at school at 704-857-7038 (from 7:00-8:15; 11:30-1:10; 3:15-3:45) if you have any questions of concerns or e-mail me anytime! As a team we are e-mailing parents on a regular basis to allow for more frequent communication. Please respond to these e-mails at your earliest convenience. We also use to the homework hotline for reminders in addition to daily homework so give us a call at 704-856-0741 (ext. 805).
