Another question for you!

Farmer Ben has only ducks and cows. He can't remember how many of each he has, but he really doesn't need to remember. He does know that he has 22 animals, which is his age. He also remembers that those animals have a total of 56 legs, which is his father's age. Assuming that each animal is normal, how many of each does Farmer Ben have?

A diagram will help solve this one too!

HOMEWORK - ?

Try this problem:



A worm is at the bottom of a 12-foot wall.  Every day it crawls up 3 feet, but at night it slips down 2 feet.  How many days does it take the worm to get to the top of the wall?

hint:
The question is much easier to answer correctly if you draw a diagram!

CLASSROOM RULES!!!

The thing about the end of summer that might be the hardest to let go of......

One great reason to study MATH!

Link to instructions and video regarding HOW TO MAKE A BOOK COVER FROM A GROCERY BAG!!!

CLICK HERE to access the info on book covers!

Welcome to the FIRST DAY of the 2013 - 2014 school year!

Welcome back to school!  I hope everyone had a great summer!

(That would be a sunrise - you know... symbolizing the start of a new day or in our case the start of a new school year.. in case you missed the meaning!)

This BLOG is for almost all 7th and 8th grade Math classes at Lone Rock School - Course 2, Course 3 and Algebra 1!
(I have tried writing separate blogs for each class and failed to keep them all straight!!!)

All homework will be posted on this blog along with any upcoming tests.  Also any Math related events (MathCounts, Math Day, NCTM, Math Circle and the like...) will be posted here.
Be sure to check that your class is mentioned in the heading... if so, the assignment is for you!

There will also be links to tools and websites that might help you out along the way.  Any internet based resource we use will be linked to this page.  Most handouts and even some class notes will be made available through this blog page as well!

The first example is the book check out form!  It is electronic this year (so that I can NOT lose them!!)

Also, I have a link to step-by-step instructions on how to cover our books!

So let's get started.  We will make this the best year of MATH ever!
