We will begin new material to preview 8th grade math.






Here is a list of general topics we will be teaching the 4th nine weeks:

Review of the years material before TCAP

Computation with exponents

Scientific notation

Negative exponents


Below are several videos that I have used and will use to help demonstrate different math skills. Also, you will find PowerPoints from 7th grade. I know there is a lot of information on this page, but it is easier for me to leave it on here than it is for me to delete and put back on. Below you will find a weekly schedule of essential questions and activities to help practice. This schedule is not concrete and may change after it is posted so please check regularly. I will not always be able to keep the schedule perfect from Monday to Friday.
