Online graphing calculator application
The application is a little confusing at first, but if you follow the directions carefully you can get a virtual graphing calculator (similar to the one I use in class on the Smartboard).
Steps:Click download (underneath the picture of the calculator) and Click the TI-83 Plus SDK Run
Once the application is download
Open up the application
File newSelect TI-83 PlusView Calculator

8.N.3 Read, write, and identify percents less than 1% and greater than 100%
8.N.4 Apply percents to: Tax, percent increase/decrease, simple interest, sale price, commission, interest rates, and gratuities
8.N.5 Estimate a percent of a quantity, given an application
8.N.6 Justify the reasonableness of answers using estimation
You can review these topics at the following website:

Practice Converting Temperature
Practice converting from the following Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit:
- 100°
- 20°
- 0°
- 17°
- 3°
- 37°
Use the formula: F = (9/5)C+32°
For example, to convert a Celsius temperature of 100 into degrees Fahrenheit, first multiply the Celsius temperature by nine-fifths to get 180. Then add 32 to 180 and get 212°F.
You can check your answers with the conversion table all the way at the bottom of the page. Try making up your own examples and solving them as well.

Newsletter
The third marking period began on Monday February 1st. Please discuss with your
child strategies for being successful this marking period.
Supplies
Please ensure that your child has all their required supplies with them on a daily basis.
Students are required to have a binder with loose-leaf paper, and pencils everyday. It is
also recommended that students have a scientific calculator. A scientific calculator is
required for Book 2 and 3 and it is important that students feel comfortable using one.
Vacation Homework due February 22, 2010
ensure that your child completes this assignment and takes it seriously.
NY State Math Exam
The NY State Math Exam will be given on May 5th and 6th. Please mark your calendars. It is extremely important that students begin preparing for the exam.
The exam format is as follows:
Day 1 Book 1 Book 2 | 27 Multiple Choice questions 4 Short response 2 Extended response | Approximate time 50 minutes 40 minutes |
Day 2 Book 3 | 8 Short response 4 Extended response | 70 minutes |
Assessment
Students have taken two math assessments this year. Please review the results at
https://nyc-acuity.mcgraw-hill.com/ In most cases your USERNAME is your child’s first and last name (without any spaces). Your PASSWORD is your student id number. It is imperative that students review the questions they got incorrect. Most students have not accessed their results. Please review the results and speak with me if you are unable to access this information.
Students need to have their multiplication table memorized up to 12 x 12.
Homework
Homework will be given almost every night. The homework will review concepts taught in class, as well as material on the NY State Exam. Please ensure that your child completes his/her homework on a daily basis so they don’t fall behind in class. Homework is worth 15% of your child’s grade.
Parent Teacher Conference
The Parent Teacher conference will be held on February 25th. If you would like to discuss your child’s progress beforehand, please call me at the school.
TIP of the MONTH: (ask your child to explain how they remember the two definitions below)
complementary angles: two angles that add up to 90°
supplementary angles: two angles that add up to 180°
