Good day Grade6!   

This is the last week we will be posted content for you to do at home; however you can access the content during the summer if you so choose. 

1.  Watch the lesson SLIDES AND FLIPS and do the activities   http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mesg/html/math6web/index.html

2.  Slides= Translations

Flips= Reflections

In addition to these 2 transformations there is one called a rotation.  

3.  Go to that quiz and try the quiz on identifying the type of transformation.

4.  Unit 8 p.288 in your textbook deals with transformations.

  You can try p.293 Q. 1,2 

 Read CONNECT on p.296-297 p.299 Q.3

Read connect p.304-306  p.306 Q. 3,5

Read p.309 Connect p.311 Q.5, 6 ,8

Read p. 314 Connect   p. 315-316 Q. 1, 5

Create a design using transformations and describe the transformations you used, take a picture and send it to me shaun.fletcher@nbed.nb.ca  

Or find some designs in your house the having transformations.  Like the picture attached.

There are multiple solving equations worksheets below.  Follow and record the steps to solve the equation.  Solutions are provided with each worksheet.  

There will also be thatquiz with equations to solve.  There are also questions on p.336 Q.3,4,7,8  olutions on p.520

Watch the video on solving a simple equation.

3.  https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-equations-expressions/pre-algebra-one-step-mult-div-equations/v/solving-one-step-equations-2

 

Points to remember:

  • When asked to solve an equation, your goal is to find the value for the variable (x)
  • You want to isolate (get it by itself on one side of the equation) the variable
  • Each step you take must preserve equality (meaning what you do to one side of the equation, you must do the same to the other side)
  • Verify means to check that when you substitute your solution back into the equation, both sides of the equation are equal

 

In your text book, you can try p.331  Q. 5, 6 (just solve don't worry about the model), Q.8, Q.11 Q.12  The solutions are on p. 520. 

If you don't have your textbook, I can send you an email with some practice. Just email me shaun.fletcher@nbed.nb.ca to ask for questions.

There are 3 worksheets attached with answers.

1. lowest term ratios-  write the ratios in lowest terms by dividing both terms by the same number

ex.   15:25  look for a common factor of 15 and 25.  Both can be divided by 5 to get 3: 5 .  3:5 is the ratio in lowest terms because 3 and 5 do not have a common factor to divide by.

2.  creating equivalent ratios-   find the number that is multiplied or divided by one term to get the other terms.  Do the same to the other term to find the missing term of the ratio

ex.   3: 4 =  6:  __     The first term is multiplied by two to get 6 in the second ratio, so multiply 4 by the same factor (X2) to get 8 for the missing term.

3.  understanding ratio problems-  Set up the ratios, find equivalent ratio and write solutions in lowest terms

ex.  The ratio of dogs to cats is 7:3.   If there are 35 dogs, how many cats?    

Set up:   

Dogs: Cats

7   :    4

35  :   __   

7 is multiplied by 5 to get 35, therefore multiply 4 by 5 to get the equivalent ratio.

There are 20 cats.

Revisiting Percent

Rates and Proportional Relationships

There are still brainpop assignments and thatquiz assignments waiting for you. :)

1. Watch and practice using the link below. 

http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mesg/html/math6web/index.html

 

2.Read through the notes and examples below.  

3.  Practice on thatquiz (***fractions must be in lowest terms)

4.  Textbook  p.187 has examples.  Practice p.188-189 Q.  1, 2,3,4,8,9,10,11,12,13

5.  Textbook p.191-2 has examples .  Practice p.192-193 (don't worry about using base ten blocks or shading hundredths grid) Q. 1-6 and 8-11

6.  There will also be a brainpop on percents for you to try.           https://www.brainpop.com/dashboard/assignments/23b5850d18a62404/periods/...

 

Percents are part to whole ratios where the second term is out of 100.   For example 34:100 means 34%.  Percents are used to easily compare ratios as the whole is the same (100). 

Percents, fractions, and decimals are all different ways to represent a part to whole relationship.   20 % = 0.20 = 20/100   Percents can be written as decimals by dividing by 100. (ex,  4% = 0.04) 

Decimals can be written as percents by multiplying by 100.  (ex.  0.9 = 90%) 

Percent can be written as fractions by using 100 as the denominator.  (ex.  36% = 36/100)  Usually fractions are written in lowest terms.  So 36/100 would be 9/25 after dividing the numerator and denominator by 4. 

Fractions can be written as percents by making an equivalent fraction out of 100.  ( ex.  3/4 = 75/100   multiply both numerator and denominator by 25.   75/100 then can be written as 75%  )
