6th 3/4

Essential Question: How do I apply my knowledge of 
surface area and nets to find the surface area of real
 world pyramids using internet research to find the actual measurements.

Vocabulary: nets, surface area, pyramid

Skills: decomposing shapes, algebraic expressions, evaluating

Homework: evaluate the expressions when m=5, v=2, and x =7

8x - 4v + 2m
11m - 4x + 5v
   
MCC6.G.4
Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.

7th Grade 3/4
 Essential Question: How do I use angle relationships to setup equations and solve for a variable to find a missing angle?

Vocabulary:acute angle, obtuse angle, vertical angle 
adjacent angle, complementary angle, suplementary angle

Skills: angle pairs, algebraic equations

Homework:Find x

3x + 25 - 10 = 60
x + 17 + 56 = 180

MCC7.G.2
Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.

8th Grade 3/4

Essential Question: How do I find slope, write 
equations in slope intercept form, and identify 
linear and non-linear funcitons?

Vocabulary: slope, y-intercept, slope intercept form, linear, non-linear

Skills: algebraic equations, solving for "y"

Homework:
out in y=mx+b form

3y + 5x = 12
9y - 4x = 11


MCC8.EE.5
Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways.
MCC8.EE.6
Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
MCC8.F.3
Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear.
