Hey Team Bridgetown Families! We have finished i-Ready MOY testing 😁. This week in Math 6, students will learn about GEMDAS! Math 6 students will take a Formative on Exponents & GEMDAS so they can begin reviewing their notes/class slides/IM practice problems at home. In Math 7, students will learn how to multiply/divide rational numbers. Students can practice these skills at home on Khan Academy. All students have until Tuesday, January 28, 2025 to submit missing/late work from the second half of the Term (date changed due to snow days). No work will be accepted after this date.

Hello Team Bridgetown!

Next week, we’ll be exploring gravity! Students will work on their graphing skills to understand how mass and distance affect gravity. They'll wrap up the week by using what they've learned in a jump lab, where they’ll calculate their weight on different celestial bodies due Fri 1/31

There’s also a homework assignment on Canvas titled “HW - Star Systems and Galaxies,” which is due Tuesday, 1/28. You can find it under the Modules section for the week.

Additionally, we’ll kick off our Term 3 roots next week and end the week with our first Roots quiz of the year on Friday. The roots for next week are:

• angle = corner, point of view (e.g., triangle, quadrangle)

• mega = large, million (e.g., megalosaurus, megabyte)

• deci = 1/10 or .1 (e.g., deciliter, decimal)

• semi = half (e.g., semicolon, semicircle)

• dodeca = twelve (e.g., dodecagon, dodecahedron)
