BUDDY PICTURES!  If you would like to be in a buddy picture, they will be taken Feb. 2nd in room 731.  You can only be in a maximum of 2 groups.  Groups may only be up to 5 students of the same grade level.  (You may take a picture with your sister or brother from LMMS if you want as one of your pictures.) Each person in the picture must pay $10.  You must sign up for buddy pictures Jan. 25th - Feb. 1st in the 7th grade commons between 8:40-9:10.  Order forms are coming next week.

If you would still like to be a part of the LMMS International Night in February, please see Ms. Sommers in 7th grade, Room 726.

Our 20th Anniversary and Curriculum Night will be Feb. 2nd.  This is a great time to come and see what our students have learned so far this year!

Math: Today we reviewed regular polygons and their lines of symmetry.  We also reviewed vocabulary from this unit.  Please study your keeper notes #30 and 31 and chapter 8 lessons 10 and 11.

We checked our study guide and our line symmetry assignment from yesterday.

Our focus today was rotational symmetry.  We had to determine if a figure, design or letter had rotational symmetry and what the degree or angle of rotation would be.  A figure has rotational symmetry if it can be rotated less than 360 degrees and look like its original.  To determine the angle of rotation, you would divide 360 by how many times the design repeats or the number of points it has or looking at how far you turned it until it matched the original.

HW:  Unit 5 Test on Symmetry is Friday, study your keeper and chapter 8, lessons 10 and 11, Complete HP and PS p. 74

Enrichment:  Our computation challenge skill this week is long multiplication and division of whole numbers.  Our topic today was prime and composite numbers to go with Number Theory.

HW:  Read for your log, study your vocabulary and finish the prime and composite worksheet
