Online Math Games from CMP

CMP now has online homework help.
Click HERE then enter the code on the ACE page.
It is not the greatest, but it is a good place to look when you are having trouble.

What should you do if you "don't get it"?

  • Try to figure out what you don't get. Odds are that it is one concept that is holding you up.
  • Read the directions. When a student comes to me for help, that is typically my first response. My second response is to read the directions to them. This clears up misunderstandings about 75% of the time.
  • Look in the book for examples or directions. The book often has very explicit directions in it on how to do the work. (This was the case with the stem and leaf plots.) At the very least, there are examples. Look within the section that the homework come from.
  • Call a friend.
  • Lastly: Press On. It is not a bad thing to struggle. If you are not struggling sometimes, I am not pushing you hard enough.

Homework:

Finish p. 18 and 19 A-F. Problem E needs the data from pg. 17. There are 640m acres in each square mile. Figure out Lapp, then Bouck, then Krebs. They are the key to everything.

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Homework:

Complete the worksheet. Available HERE.
The worksheet requires you to add fractions with unlike denominators. In this case you do not need to find the least common multiple for numbers 1-5. It has been found for you  and is the denominator of one of the numbers. For problems 7-12, though the denominator has been found for you, you need to find equivalent fractions for the two numbers in the problem.
