It's cold outside...but in Mr. Mann's class the friction from the pencils and paper are keeping it toasty! We have a test in both classes this week. Regular classes will take theirs Friday and Advanced will test Wednesday. In 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 8th period today we worked on our study guide (pg. 123-124 #32-49). We also checked homework assignments from Thursday and Friday and looked at Agendas, Journals, and Vocab. In 7th period we went over the first part of the study guide the students completed Thursday and Friday of last week. Tonight the Boys basketball teams play at Beverly Hills. The wrestling team did very well at a tournament this weekend, but I am not sure exact records. Have a great evening!

Phew, this day was a long one! In the regular classes we introduced Solving Equations containing Multiplication and Division. For homework they need to do Pg. 116 # 1-12 Omit #7. In the advanced class we started a study guide that they will finish tomorrow. Tonight at Milton Middle there are 3 games. The JV Girls play at 4:30, The Varsity plays at 5:30, Boys Varsity plays at 6:30. All the games are against Enslow.

Another down! In the regular classes we worked on solving equations containing addition and subtraction, the students are to complete Worksheet 2-11 Practice B. In the Advanced class we went over rational and irrational numbers. They have Pg. 158-59 # 35-48. With this section we have wrapped up Chapter 3! Expect a test around next Wednesday (there is a ton to review). Have a good evening, put up some Christmas lights, listen to Christmas music, get in the spirit for goodness sakes! Ho! Ho! Ho! Congratulations to the Girls Varsity who defeated Hurricane. The boys play at Winfield, JV - 5:30, Varsity - 7!

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, school Rock! Today we had a busy day in Mr. Mann's Math Class! In the Regular Classes we had a quick bellringer, followed by 5 Vocab terms (see below), a mini-lesson, and the topping? Pg. 112 #1-6. In the advanced class we reviewed last night's homework and introduced estimating square roots. The students weren't too thrilled with this because they couldn't use calculators, but I it's like I told them, "I don't want robots that can only push buttons, I want students that can build and program robots". For homework they have Pg. 152 # 1-38, Omit #6-9 and 15-18. Tonight the girls basketball teams take on Hurricane as they try to right the ship after a close loss in their home opener to Winfield. Games are at 4:30 (6th grade), 5:30 (JV), and 6:30 (Varsity). Have a great evening and go Panthers!
