Week of 8/24/26

Hello 8th Grade Families!
 
This week in 8th grade math, we're going to be continuing our work with sequences of rigid transformations in the coordinate plane. Homework will be assigned in class on Monday, and will be due at the beginning of class on Friday, 8/28.
 
Students were notified, but please remind them that their "Unit 1 - Geometric Figures Part 1" Test is on Thursday, 8/27 - it will cover the entirety of Unit 1 (everything we've done up until this point). Students will be given the entire class period to complete their test. A study guide will be sent home in the homework packet: this is optional, but highly encouraged. If the study guide is completed, students can earn up to 5 points of extra credit on their test!
 
On Friday, we will begin "Unit 2 - Geometric Figures Part 2" with Dilations & Similarity. 
 
Quiz #1 corrections are due by Monday, 8/31 for half-credit back.
Test #1 corrections will be due by Tuesday, 9/8 for half-credit back.
 
If you'd like to know more about what your student will be learning in math this year, make sure to RSVP to our Parent Info Night, happening on Tuesday, 8/25 from 5:15-6:15pm in the 7/8 POD! 
 
I hope you have a great week, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Week of 8/17/26

Hello 8th Grade Families!
 
I apologize for my lack of posting last week - still trying to get all of this Edlio stuff figured out :) This week in 8th grade math, we're going to be continuing to focus on rigid transformations in the coordinate plane. Homework will be assigned in class on Monday, and will be due at the beginning of class next Monday, 8/24, due to an alternate schedule on Friday.
 
Students were notified, but please remind them that their first mid-unit quiz is going to be on Wednesday, 8/19 - it will cover lessons 1 and 2 only. Students will be given the first 15 minutes of class to review notes, then the remainder of class to take their quiz. 
 
MAPS testing is also coming up this week on Thursday and Friday! As a new-to-Westgate teacher, I'm super excited to see where students' Fall MAPS starting scores are!! I hope you have a great week, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
