Study Guide For Wednesday's Math Test!

Concepts to know:

Know how to multiply a whole number times a decimal. Make sure to be able to illustrate what is happening on a 100 grid. Example 3 X .2= (This means 3 groups of .2)

Know how to multiply a decimal times a decimal. Make sure to be able to illustrate what is happening on a 100 grid. Example .3 X .2= (This means .3 of .2 or I have .3 of a pizza. I give Jane .2 of my share. How much does Jane have of the WHOLE pizza)

Know how to estimate how big a product will be and then place the decimal point.

For example. .49 X 12.8= (I know .49 is about .5 or half. 12.8 is about 13. half of 13 is 6.5)

Then multiply as if there are no decimals 49 X 128 You can place decimal point based on estimate or count decimal places.

Know how to divide a whole number and decimal using base 10 blocks. 2.4 divided by 8= (know what question this asks)

Know how to divide a decimal by a decimal using base 10 blocks. 2.4 divided by .8=

Know how to divide two decimals by making the divisor a whole number. For example 43.2 divided by .6 will have the same quotient as 432 divided by 6 since both the dividend and divisor got ten times bigger.

I will tell you who solved it on January 27th, after I have read all entries.

Practice problems for test

How many diagonals would be in a 61-agon?  How many regions? How many degrees?

Draw a octagon and add in diagonals.  How many would you need?  How many regions would it form?

Why is there 180 degrees in a triangle?

If two angles of a triangle were 46 degrees and 59 degrees, what would the measure of the third angle be?

REad over the study guide again.. make sure you know how to label rays, line, line segments, ect.

Weekly Reader:  Due tomorrow with worksheet

Vocabulary:  Unit 8 should be complete.....Study for QUIZ

Math

Math: 1)   Please find all the arrays for the numbers 23 and 24.  (Use Graph paper)  Write down all the factors and tell whether each number is prime or composite.

2)  Why do some numbers have an odd number of factors?  Name a few and try to figure out what is special about them.

Test Review For Next Tues.

Concepts to know:

How to use a protractor to create and measure angles.

Know the difference between a regular and not regular polygon.

Know how to draw diagonal into polygons and figure out the degrees. (use polygon sheet from class to study)

Be able to see patterns so that you could figure out how many diagonals, regions, and degrees are in a 50-agon or 43-agon or a polygon with any number of sides.   (use polygon sheet from class to study)

Be able to find the missing angle in a triangle or a quadrilateral  Practice problems on page 183 9-12 and page 185   11-13   (that was homework one night)

Know how to prove that a triangle has 180 degrees and that a quadrilateral has 360 degrees.  Think about experiments we did in class.  

Know how compare to quadrilaterals properties of quadrilaterals.

Example:  A square is a rectangle   always sometimes never

Know all the terms of page 174 and 175 and how to label them properly.

Vocabulary quiz on Friday.

Optional Homework

1)  Look over the sheet you did in class and review the patterns we discussed.  Then answer these questions:

How many diagonals would be in a 30-agon (30 sided figure)

How many regions would there be?

How would I figure out how many degrees there would be?

If you had 48 diagonals, how many regions would there be? How many sides would there be?

Explain how you would figure out how many degrees are in a 89 sided figure (89-agon)?

Optional Homework

Homework

Math:   Cut out a triangle.  Mark each angle with a dot.  Line up the angles like we did in class.  See if you can find a triangle that does not make a straight angle or straight line.

Do these two problems:

1) You have a triangle.  One angle is 16 degrees, another angle is 46 degrees.  How many degrees are in the third angle.  Show your work.

2)  You have a quadrilateral.  Three of the angles are the following degrees: 104 degrees, 64 degrees and 12 degrees.  How many degrees are in the fourth angle?  Show your work.

3) Sketch an example if it is possible. If you can't, explain why. 

a) An equiangular quadrilateral which is not equilateral.
