Weekly News

This week in Math students will be continuing their studies of exponent rules.  We will look at negative powers, zero powers, as well as power of a power and quotient of a power.  Students will use all 6 exponent rules to simplify expressions.  For the remainder of the week, we will look at exponential growth and exponential decay situations and identify the type of equation and graph they each make.

In Science we will further our studies of the sun, moon, and Earth, by looking specifically at what happens to cause the day/night cycle that we have.  We will look at what happens when the Earth rotates and what gives us different time zones.  We will end the week by looking at what causes our seasons.

In Advisory we will be using this time to really solidify exponential rules and practice simplifying expressions with exponents.  We will also start going over practice problems for the upcoming interim assessment.

Questions?  Just ask!
