Grade 8:
Week of November 18: Grade 8s are finishing up their work with multiplication of fractions, if they haven't already. The last of our classes will be completing an addition, subtraction and multiplication of fractions quiz.
The next step will be moving into division of fractions. Students will see this first using models pictorially followed by more traditional methods, like using the reciprocal.
Week of November 3:
Grade 8s have begun to multiply fractions this week. We started by introducing this concept using the area model. Students then start to see that they can multiply symbolically without the use of a picture.

Week of September 15:
Much of our week will be spent completing the Number and Algebra Assessment. This is used to gauge where students are at with their abilities, whether they are below grade level or at grade level.
Grade 8s will also be starting with integer division.
Week of Sept 8:
After reviewing some addition and subtraction of integers, we will be getting into the grade 8 program by working integer multiplication. Expect a quiz by the end of the week.
