This podcast contains a mixture of student and teacher explanations of concepts that are important to eighth grade middle school students.
Today we wrote an equation based on the table. We used the following pdf.
Please remember that the study log will be counted as a grade. Remember that studying is required and fundamental to success in math. Also homework does not count as studying. Studying is additional work done for the purpose of understanding the underlying principles behind the concepts being taught. recall that you were given a study log to help both you and your parents keep track of how much, how often, and what you study. If you misplaced it you may print a copy here.
As you may know our students will take the grade 8 STAAR test on Monday, March 26. A break down of the topics to be covered on the STAAR test may be found below. Also, the example questions that TEA released may be found here. Please also note that additional resources that the students may use are Reflex Math (To practice some basic skills that sometimes prevent some students from successfully completing math problems) and Measuring up. They may see me for their reflex math log in if they don't already know it. The Measuring up log in may be filled in as following. If the students real name were "John Smith" their log in is "JOHNSMITH" and their password is their student id number.Open publication - Free publishing - More math

I wanted to share this student example. I thought it was well done. This student had some typos, but they will fix it and I will show the corrected version.GoAnimate4Schools.com: remind me why i hire you by KCLike it? Create your own at GoAnimate4Schools.

Class projects were due Monday. Some of the projects were really interesting. Particularly some of the animations. It was nice to see the amount of effort that was put into these projects.This is an example. However, there is a mistake. 10^4 should be 10^2.GoAnimate4Schools.com: scientific notation by H CLike it?

How could you use the pythagorean theorem if you know only the value of a leg and the hypotenuse? The following video demonstrates how to do that. If you would like more information about the pythagorean theorem you may click here: Pytyhagorean theorem
The following video demonstrates how the pythagorean theorem is may be applied to solve a word problem.
The pythagorean theorem may be interpreted geometrically by saying that the area of the squares on the legs of the right triangle must equal the area of the square on the hypotenuse. You may see additional information and explanations of this concept by clicking here:Pythagorean theorem
