Tuesday Lessons and Home Studies

Summary of today and home studies assigned

Pre Algebra Summary: We began to talk about the steps for problem solving; explore, plan, solve, and examine. The activity we did today had to do with the "value" of words. The "value" of a word is determined by adding the letter-value of each letter in the word when the letter-values are assigned such that A = 1, B = 2, C = 3...Y = 25, and Z = 26.

Pre Algebra HS: Determine what the most valuable month is and p.7 (6-11) needs to be done in composition book

Algebra: We discussed patterns and sequences and in particular a special sequence that included the Fibonacci Rabbits. That is:
Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits, one male, one female, are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of rabbits. Suppose that our rabbits never die and that the female always produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month on. The puzzle that Fibonacci posed was...
How many pairs will there be in one year?
Hint

Algebra HS: Complete the Fibonacci Rabbits worksheet and p.16-17 (10-20 even). There is also a home study quiz on Friday, be sure to bring your composition book with all your home studies in it.

Math 5/6 Summary: We discussed the four-step plan for problem solving and talked about looxes!

Math 5/6 HS: Due to the fact that 5th and 6th graders have different color books, I will post home studies by the color of the book; 5th graders have a purple book and 6th graders have a blue book.
Purple: p.6 (8-12)
Blue: p.7 (6-9)
Also, tests were handed back today and need to be signed by a parent by tomorrow

Chinese I HS: Draw a family tree for your immediate family and label each family member with their appropriate name in Chinese
