Well, April is here and spring is in the air!

We have just finsihed up our Number Sense math unit on Fractions, Percentages and Integers. We are heading into Algebra where you will be learning the following criteria:

8m59: describe different ways in which algebra can be used in real-life situations
8m61: translate statements describing mathematical relationships into algebraic expressions and equations
8m62: evaluate algebraic expressions with up to three terms, by substituting fractions, decimals, and integers for the variables
8m64: solve and verify linear equations involving a one-variable term and having solutions that are integers, by using inspection, guess and check, and a “balance” model

We have a history test next Thursday. Review sheets will be ready on Friday. We will start our last Geography unit this month: Global Inequalities.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Anti-Bullying Day a real success, Thank you for supporting our stance against bullying and reminding others to STAND UP, STEP IN and SPEAK OUT! You can make a difference!

Reminders:

*DRESS CODE is in effect everyday at Tec. South. No belly tops, short tanks that can rise up, muscle shirts that expose too much, short “bootie” shorts and thin tanks allowed at school. You will be told to change or be offered a school top if you do not have appropriate clothing.

Let’s make a last few short months at Tec South a great one! 🙂
