The AMC is a 25-question, multiple-choice test. The related  high school contest is part of the series of competitions that leads to  the IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad.)</p>
<p>At assembly on January 4, Mrs. Haseltine announced the results. In  third place we have a tie between seventh-grader Paul and eighth-grader  Gwyneth. Seventh-grader Ian placed second and the school winner is  eighth-grader Hannah, who received a school winner pin and whose name is  now on the school AMC plaque.</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who participated for their excellent effort and achievement!</p>

The class composed these scripts in groups using both dialogue and stage directions. Some groups even created additional characters, and wrote them into their scenes. </span></p>
<p><span>In the novel, Tom and Huck witness the murder of Dr. Robinson; however, Muff Potter was not the murderer! The entire town, including Potter, believe he is at fault, but the truth is that he was framed. The seventh grade had interesting interpretations of the text and enjoyed writing their scenes in class.</span></div>

This app takes advantage of the iPad gestures: drag terms to rearrange them, pinch to combine terms or reduce fractions, stretch an expression to apply the distributive law. The app only allows for permitted manipulations of the algebraic terms, so you can only create equivalent expressions. There are model problems but you can also type in your own problems. While this was a worthwhile activity, it is not a reason to purchase an iPad, regardless of what your children might say!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://unquowa.org/classrooms/grade-7/files/2011/11/img_1243.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-3269];player=img; attachment wp-att-3275"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3275 alignright" src="http://unquowa.org/classrooms/grade-7/files/2011/11/img_1243-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Half of the students in eighth grade led the sixth, seventh, and  remaining eighth graders on   tours of The Aldrich Contemporary Art  Museum after completing their four   weeks of docent training in  October. The Student Docents asked questions of their   peers while  viewing the museum&#8217;s current exhibitions including Chelpa Ferro, Kate  Eric, Jessica Stockholder, Type A, and Judi Werthein. Additionally, the  students worked on a group hands-on  activity in the education center.  As the current theme of the museum  is related to collaboration, the  students were asked to work on a group piece by each contributing to  each other&#8217;s drawings. The tours were once again a great success, and it  is always  a pleasure  to be involved in one of the Student Docent&#8217;s  conversations  about the  art. We are looking forward to the Spring,  when the other eighth graders will train to be docents and give tours of  the museum to the fourth and fifth graders.
