Sixth Grade Math Test – Wednesday, May 12, 2010

The test will cover:

Operations with Integers

Order of Operations

Absolute Value

Numbers: Whole, Natural, Integers, Rational, Irrational

Here is one possible answer for each of the 24 problems, there are other answers!

1.            9,   3,    2,    -6

9 – -6 = 15

15 – 3 = 12

12 x 2 = 24

2.            -8,   4,   6,   -6

-6 x -8 = 48

6 – 4 = 2

48 ÷ 2 = 24

3.            4,   3,   7,   -7

3 x -7 = 21

7 – 4 = 3

3 – – 21 = 24

4.            5,   -9,   -1   -5

-5 – – 9 = 4

5 – – 1 = 6

6 x 4 = 24

5.            2,   -2,   8,   9

2 x 9 = 18

8 + -2 = 6

18 + 6 = 24

6.         2,   -2,   4,   -8

-2 x -8 = 16

2 x 4 = 8

16 + 8 = 24

Today we played with integers.  We learned order of operations, and continued to review whole numbers, natural numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and integers.

We will continue to practice using 24 game cards and worksheets.

Try the 24 problems below!

1.            9,   3,    2,    -6

2.            -8,   4,   6,   -6

3.            4,   3,   7,   -7

4.            5,   -9,   -1   -5

5.            2,   -2,   8,   9

6.         2,   -2,   4,   -8

Hello Sixth Graders!

I am posting again!

Today we had a test on integers and absolute value.  Most of you have a good clear understanding of the concepts involved with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers as well as using absolute value, CONGRATULATIONS!  If you are still feeling uncomfortable take out some of the old worksheets and practice!  I will return the tests on Friday!

We will work more on Order of Operations and sets of numbers on Thursday and Friday.

For homework tonight you have a worksheet using word problems with integers.  Please complete it and bring it to class with you the next time we meet.

6th Practice Set 13

Here is the first practice set of the final quarter!

You can begin it over the break if you are bored!

Have a great vacation!  I will see you on the sixth!
