They have explored different shapes than can be made by creating cross-sections of prisms, cones, spheres, cylinders, and pyramids by making three dimensional shapes from play dough and then cutting them and observing the cut side\u2019s shape. Using this information they will build a mathematical representation of volume in the coming week.<\/p>\n<p><b>Foundations for Algebra<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Students completed a Knowledge Check assessing their ability to represent linear relationships with graphs, equations, and tables. Interpreting slope and the vertical intercept in the context of the situation was the major takeaway. Now we take that and further investigate slope and solving for unknown values in these situations.<\/p>\n<p><b>Algebra I<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The focus this week has been on exponential decay and growth. Students began with a paper folding lab, where they made observations about both the number of sections created with new folds as well as the area in relationship to the starting area when folded. With this knowledge they were able to develop equations for exponential growth and decay. They then expanded and applied this knowledge to situations involving percent growth and decay via a series of word problems in Desmos. They will continue working with exponential equations into next week.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4831 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/2024\/01\/26\/middle-school-mathematics-35\/img_5036-2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5036-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5036-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5036-700x700.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/2024\/01\/26\/middle-school-mathematics-35\/img_5030\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5030-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5030-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5030-700x700.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/2024\/01\/26\/middle-school-mathematics-35\/img_5037-2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5037-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5037-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thesummitprep.org\/middleschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/sites\/44\/2024\/01\/IMG_5037-700x700.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math Fundamentals Sixth grade mathematicians are living in the world of algebra.
