Hey Mr.P, I don’t understand question 29 of our homework on page 10-11.Can you explain it to me?
Do your best with it and we will go over the problem in class tomorrow. Try to answer it. Remember… It’s ok to be wrong.
Hey mr.P its Danieli have a couple of questions ok
1st for the homework tonight on page 11 i dont get number 30 for when it says write companys b and c as a decimal cuz they already are decimals
hey Mr.P for questions models for questions 1-7 for tonites homework?
hew Mr.P do we need to make graphs for problems 1-3 and do we need to make number lines for questions 3-7
Hey Mr. P, for questions 22 and 23 on page 16 for homework tonight do we pick one number, or do we put the numbers in order from least to greatest?
Mr.P questions what are we suppose to do for Bud, Not Buddy
hey breanna its daniel for questions 22 and 23 you just need to pick the numbers from the group of numbers that would make the thing true like for number 23 you need to pick the numbers in between 4.18 and 4.25
Breanna, sorry to just get back to your question. Had back to school night for my son. I see that Dan answered your question. Nice job using the bloggggg!
Hey Mr.P i dont get number 15 on page 1-3 for tonites homework
Daniel, you just write like 0.3 is two greater than 0.5 and that 0.7 is two greater than 0.5
Oh yea, and thanks for the answer to my question
:]
thanks breanna
Nice job using the blog….
Hey, mr.p. i just got back from seeing my dad. I had a pass and user, but before it didnt let me log in. And my mom wanted to know if she could bring me to the open school night?
thanx,
Aakash Muir/Ak
Students may come to Back to School Night if no child care can be found.
Mr.P,
I was wondering if for number 1-19 if we needed to answer the problems or not for tonights homework?
Ak
nevermind i finished them
hey mr p.,
is front-end estimation like the same as the other ways of estimateing??????
David ;p
hi mr.p i might be coming to the open night tonight.
Ak
hi this is scott i was just seeing if this works
hi mr.p its lauren i dont understand questions 30-36 can you help me?
Lauren, use the Commutative, associative, or identity properties for each. For example, problem 32 the 0.3 is missing. Notice the grouping has changed. The associative property changes the grouping… prob 35 the 3.1 is missing. The order of the addends has changed. This shows the use of the commutative property.
ok thank you
um mr.p i get what you ment but i dont understand prob.30
just wanted to see something and i still need help with question 30
PrOblem 30 is the Identity Property because only by adding zero will the equation be made true…
never mind i got the anwser thanks for the help for my other question
ok thanks
for questions 1-6 and 13-20 for tonights homework do we estimate and add or subtract those numbers or estimate then find the real answer
Estimate, then add or subtract…..

Hey Mr.P, some of the class notes for today aren’t showing up and I need to copy them.
It should work? Let me check and get back to you.
Hi Mr.P for math for problem 13,14, and15 do we just write the operation or do we do it and say the operation?
I just checked the notes and they seem to be working fine. Just give them time to load if you have a slow connection. Do the problems just as they are done in the notes.
Hi its lauren David it means just do the problem and see what the anwser is just do the problem like you usally do ok david
Hi mr.P for Numbers 13,14, and 15 do we just have to write what operation they are using or do we have to do the problem and also tell what operation we are using?
For problems 13, 14, 15 just say what operation is to be done first. You don’t have to do the problems.
than you Mr.p
thanks Mr.P
thx lauren and mr.p
Hi Mr.P i wasn’t here for school i was sick so i saw the language arts homework you put up do i have to do all of those pages? Also for math for the extra credit i only saw 8 problems on a side.
For LA just write your own sentencs for the 20 words. Math, just fo practice handout 1-10
what about the extra credit there were only 8 problems
Just try to do problems 2-7 if you want to try to earn extra credit.
ok
Hey, Mr.P, were there any new notes today because they’re not on your webpage. Thanks
Hi mr.P sorry to bother you again but how do we do the LA homework?
No
No New notes and just 20 sentences using the vocabulary words.
ok so no notes i have to take and for the sentences just make new one on paper with the vocab words?
Yup
Thanx
Hi mr.P its lauren im still sick im still confused by the language arts we got yesterday. am i apost to use the word given in bold or the words for its definition?
mr.p its scott for the math chapter review do we work it out in our note books because its multiple choice? and do we have to do the revew test on line?
do i
Just take each of the 20 words. Read the sentences that are given for each word. Then, write your own sentences for each word
You do not have to do the online test. You may use it to enter and check your answers. You should show work in your notebooks for the problems that need work.
oh ok thanks Mr.P
my b-day is Sunday do i have to do the berthday0.
homework
You may choose not too. However, that would not be wise because the review will help prepare you for the test Tuesday. I’ll give you a homework passMonday rhat you can use any other day.
mr.p its lauren i know its late but what did you say before about my doors opening and closing paragraph again i forgot. on the paper you wrote “relate to doors opening and closing to doors”? and do i have to give it to you tomorrow?
You don’t have to have it tomorrow. Try to explain your “opportunities” using doors closing and opening.
ok thanks lot
mr.p do i have to do my paragrphs in pen at school during 7th period or……?
for the final copy
You can do the final copy in pen whenever!
hi mr.p you didnt put todays notes do you think you can do that now?
Website has been updated! Thanks.
back at ya
one more thing for the packet on the side where you have to tell wether the sentence is declarative, interrogative, ect for 7-10 can we just do one kind of sentence or do we have to do two of each?
Just follow the directions.
When is the Language Arts test Wed or Thurs? Can anyone tell me?
Hi Mr.P its Lauren for problem 17 in math i dont get how i’m a post to do it because it doesn’t give me a number for letter H can you help?
hi its cassie im having problems with problems with numbers 9 to 16 idk wat they want me 2 do
hey mr.Pcan u explain number one on the math home work for me???
Lauren,
use the table beneath problem 17 and fill in 1,2,and 3 for h. For example 5+ 2(1)is 7 and 5+2(2) is 9. This means that for 1 hour the cost is $7 and for 2 hours the cost is $9.
Jes, for problem one just draw 3 rectangles for 3X and 5 small squares for +5
Cassie, simply substitute 8 for x in each problem then perform the order of operations to simplify it. For example problem 11 would be 2(8)-3 which becomes 16-3 which is 13.
i got problem one
oh your talking to them i didnt refresh my page ok thanks mr.p
thank you sooooo much ( my mom dint get it ether ) !!!
so for #2 would you draw 3 rectangles only?
Problem 2 would be one rectangle for the variable and 3 small squares for the 3
im sry i hate to be a bother but when are you keeping people after school again
hi mr.p its lauren again for questiong one for Manica magee what does it mean “describe dinner at the Pickwell’s house”

hey mrp do we have to write out the puncuation paragraphs on another paper or can we correct it on the paper from scott prior
Just make the corrections on the paper.
Hi Mr.P for math for problems 6-21 do we just write down like EX: n=? we dont have to estimatem for it or just do that (n=?)
You are estimating the value of the variable
so like if the problem was EX: 4n=12 the variable would be n= about 3 ?
Something like that.
ok thanks that helped alot
sorry to bother you again but i dont get problems 25-27
