2011 Homework Update

A couple of parents have been wanting an updated list of the homework assignments for 2011.  They may seem a little odd because we have missed some days for snow and then I have missed a few days myself due to this virus I'm getting over.  Here is a complete list of this year's homework--


1/5 & 1/6--Problem Solving Workbook, p. 65
1/13--Worktext, p. 256
1/18--Worktext, p. 343
1/19--Problem Solving Workbook, p. 82
1/24--Worktext, pp. 268 & 269
1/25--Worktext, p. 270
1/26--Worktext, p. 279
2/1--Worktext, p. 344
2/2--Worktext, p. 345


We will be continuing to study 3-D figures and the characteristics, volume, and surface area of 3-D figures for the next couple of weeks.

Thur 13 Jan

GPS:  M6M4--Circles and circumference
WotD:  circle
HW:  Worktext, p. 256

Today we studied about circles, their parts, pi and circumference.  We also talked about how to use formulae and the formula for the circumference of a circle:

C = pi times d or C = 2 times pi times r
C = pi d or C = 2pi r
