REMEMBER TO CHECK BACK WEEKLY FOR NEW ASSIGNMENTS

Ms Garneau's Math Classes

Math 8 - Week 2

April 14-17th

Thank you for taking the time to review linear equations last week while you became familiar with the online resources. This week we are going to start a new unit on Percentages. Work through the following 3 assignments at your own pace but make sure you finish before Week 3 starts so you don't fall behind.

If at any point you need help or have a question sign on to my OPTIONAL Zoom meetings. This week our meetings will be Tuesday to Friday between 12pm and 12:30pm (with an option to stay on longer if needed). I will be sitting online waiting to answer your questions. You will be able to privately ask me questions by typing in the chat feature of Zoom, so don't be shy and sign on if you want to watch me go over any questions students have or to ask your own question.

If you would like to join this week's Zoom meeting(s) use the information below:

Assignment 1: Introduction to Percentages

Watch the following video to introduce you to percentage. The big take aways from the video should be that percent means "PER 100". So 52% as a fraction would be 52 per 100 or 52/100. And to convert a fraction to a decimal we divide the top number by the bottom number. So 52% would be 52/100 or 0.52.

After watching the video check your Khan Academy assignments. If you don't see an assignment click on the following link and complete the 4 practice questions after the short review videos. If you already completed the assignment feel free to try again after watching the video.

I will be able to see your progress if you want to continue to work ahead on Khan Academy for extra practice but you don't have to.

Assignment 2: Converting Percents, Decimals and Fractions

Watch the following video to continue to learn about percents, decimals and fractions.

Remember that percent means "PER 100".

So 52% as a fraction would be 52 per 100 or 52/100.

And to convert a fraction to a decimal we divide the top number by the bottom number.

So 52% would be 52/100 or 52÷100 which is 0.52.

Complete 10 practice questions at the following link (YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT OR SIGN IN - you will be able to do 10 practice questions for free)

If you get an answer wrong be sure to read their explanation, they are very helpful!
