This page will be a great resource for you during the school year to get updates on what topics we are covering in the classroom. Please reach out via email (svanderlinden@htschool.org) if you have any questions.
Unit 4 - Inequalities
Students are learning how to solve multi-step inequalities, graphing linear inequalities, solving compound inequalities, and absolute value inequalities.
Resources:
Multi-Step Inequalities (Khan Academy)
Midterm Test
Algebra students will be having their midterm test on December 17th and 18th during our normal class hour. The test will be broken up into two sections to ensure students get the same amount of time as the high school students taking the same midterm at Dowling.
Resources will be posted on Google Classroom the week following Thanksgiving Break. Additional information about the test and studying expectations will also be sent to families that same week.
Unit 4 - Dividing Fractions
Students are using models and traditional arithmetic to solve problems involving dividing fractions. This includes using area of rectangles to find a missing length and finding volume of rectangular prisms using smaller cubes.
The test for this unit will be on December 3rd.

Unit 4 Illustrative Mathematics Family Information
This personalized learning platform is replacing Dreambox in math in grades 5-8. Based on what we're doing in-class, I have made recommendations of lessons/skills to work on that students can access on the "Dashboard."
