Test-Taking Strategies
October 14, 2008
We just completed the quiz for
Variables & Patterns. As we look toward the unit test, we should think of test-taking strategies that may be useful. Can you think of strategies that you have used in the past? Can you think of new strategies that may help you on the upcoming test? If so, share them here on this blog. These strategies may be useful now, on MCAS this year or later on in high school.

First Day of School for the Purple Team!!
September 2, 2008
Welcome Purple Team Students and Parents!
The first day of school was fantastic. I am excited to get to know all of you. All of the students did a terrific job learning to get around the building and make it to classes today during our "mini schedule." What was your favorite part of the day? Are you feeling a little overwhelmed? Make a comment to share your thoughts. Remember - the teachers are here to help you - don't be afraid to ask.
Let's make this a great year!

Variables & Patterns
August 18, 2008
The first unit of our CMP curriculum is called Variables and Patterns. You will be using your knowledge of tables and graphs to identify variables, look for patterns, make predictions, and decide the best way to display your data. You will be gathering your own data from group activities, displaying this data, and presenting it to the class.
Do you have any ideas of what a variable is? What things in the world around you vary? What kinds of things cause other things to vary?
Comment and give me your ideas!
