The Week from Ms. Q’s Room (⅞ Math & Science):

CMP8

This week the 8th graders were focused on operations using square roots, finding the length of diagonals using the area of the square and cubed roots. We also looked at finding perfect squares  and how they can help you estimate the square root of non- perfect numbers.

CMP7

The 7th graders began their study of similarity of geometric figures.  We began a class record of what similarity means and we looked at figures that were scaled down and scaled up. We practiced our graphing skills with drawing cartoon characters called “Wumps”.  We looked at rules that changed the size and location of  our “Wump” characters.

Science 7th/8th

This week students completed their research on genetic disorders and diseases and then presented their information to the class.  We were looking at the genetic mutation that caused the disorder, the physical impact of the gene mutation, treatments and interesting facts.
