8th graders are working on Chapter 7, Exponents and Powers. It is a very short chapter, but packed with concepts that they will use next year in Algebra. Students have worked with scientific notation, both with positive powers of ten (large numbers) and negative powers of ten (small numbers). They have learned how to multiply numbers in scientific notation also. 8th graders have worked with exponents before, but now are learnig to multiply and divide with exponents. We will quiz on Tuesday, February 28 and test sometime the next week. Chapter 8, Geometry, is up next. More to come as we work in this chapter.
I look forward to seeing many of you at conferences next week. We can discuss Dowling Catholic registration at that time if you would like.
