Where did that name come from? I'm glad you asked.
My name is Catherine Carlson, and I am a seventh grade math teacher at Hoyt Middle School in Des Moines, IA (hence the name). This year is my second year at Hoyt, but it is my sixth year in the Des Moines Public School District.
I have created this blog to establish an internet presence and increase accessibility for my students and their families. If you wish to contact me with questions or comments, you can respond to this post or email me at catherine.carlson@dmschools.org.
This week, January 14 through January 18, 2013, we will explore proportional relationships in math. We will learn to identify directly proportional relationships when we see them in graphs and tables. (Hint: Look for (O,O) at the origin and a straight diagonal line. )
We will also learn a process to check equivalency and then learn the good, ol' "cross-multiply" method. We will apply this new learning to revise some recipes later in the week. On Thursday, we will prepare for the weekly common formative assessment with Sneak Peek 4.2. Students who are not proficient on CFA 4.2 will have another crack at it during class on Friday.
Next Week: A REALLY BIG SALE (Decimals, Percents, and Sales Tax)
