Math Warm-up: Homework discussions after "24" and Friendly Numbers Wednesdays
2nd quarter - first 15 days Week 2-1 to Week 2-3. Behind here Do not do Connected Math Investigations this week. (Week 2-5 should be spent on ** IF 6: Probability of Events ** )
 * 7th grade: Instructional Focus 5 - Sampling, inferences, and comparing populations **


 * Edmodo conversations should be occurring daily for reflection and clarification.
 * Edmodo App has videos we can use for our instructional focuses.
 * Add a poll to Edmodo about a concept or a quiz about a concept.
 * Homework assignments daily.
 * Make posters for strategies. Record vocabulary and pre and post reflection in **//Reflection Journal//**.

[] 2. Sampling Populations []
 * Need to complete our unit activities about ratios! So we can posttest! Need to to this before moving on!**
 * 1) Evaluating Statements About Probability

In Grade 7, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: **(1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships;** (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; **(3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume;** and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2nd quarter - 10 days (day 16 to 25 of the quarter). On time.
 * 6th grade: Instructional Focus 6 - Extending the Number System **
 * Edmodo conversations should be occurring daily for reflection and clarification.
 * Edmodo App has videos we can use for our instructional focuses.
 * Add a poll to Edmodo about a concept or a quiz about a concept.
 * Homework assignments daily.
 * Make posters for strategies. Record vocabulary and pre and post reflection in **//Reflection Journal//**.

*Work on //Comparing and Scaling// investigation two next. **Check on Instructional Focus 7 ideas for our time between investigation two and three.**
 * Finish division of fractions unit. Go to edmodo.com. Apps. 6th grade Number Sense. 6.NS.1 video series part 1. Then part 2. **
 * Re-evaluate the lesson I launched for division of fractions to see what pieces we can assign for practice. :) **

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ = 8th grade: Instructional Focus 4 - Linear Equations = 2nd quarter - first 15 days Week 2-1 to Week 2-3. Behind here. Do not do Connected Math Investigation this week. (Week 2-5 should be spent on ** IF 5: Formulating and solving systems of linear equations) **
 * In Grade 6, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: **(1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems; (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers;** (3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations; and (4) developing understanding of statistical thinking.

 * 1) Solving Linear Equations

In Grade 8, instructional time should focus on three critical areas: **(1) formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations; (2) grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships;** (3) analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
