Due December 18th!
The Number Devil
Fourth Night
Answer the following questions in essay form. Use the information given to guide your responses. Be sure to show the responses to each part even if it is a mathematical answer.
Start your essay with an introduction. What are the main points? Talk about one or two main points briefly.
® Convert the following fractions to decimal form.
1 2 3 4 5
5 5 5 5 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
6 6 6 6 6 6
® Does the numerator or the denominator have a greater effect on determining whether the decimal form of the fraction will be repeating or terminating? Why do you think this is the case?
® Using a calculator, determine if the following terminate or repeat when in decimal form:
1 1 1 1 3 1 11 2 4 5 1 1 6
128 8 16 45 10 100 1000 5 13 12 7 55 11
® Choose ten of your own fractions (you can make them up) and predict whether they will terminate or repeat. Make sure to use reasonable numbers (numbers that aren’t too big) and a good variety of fractions. Don’t just choose similar numbers! (like 1/7, 2/7, 3/7, etc)
® Explain how you made your predictions.
® Find the prime factorization of the denominators of each of your fractions. What do you notice about the prime factorization of those denominators of fractions that terminate and those that repeat?
® Write a rule to describe how you can tell just by looking at a fraction that the number will repeat or terminate in decimal form.
End your essay with a conclusion. Briefly summarize a FEW main points. You do not have to restate everything you already talked about!

Course Overview
Math 7

Math 7: In this class we will begin to work with such pre-algebra concepts as the language of algebra, solving one and two-step equations, and graphing equations and inequalities. In addition, we will be continuing work with integers, fractions, rational numbers, inequalities, proportions and percents, statistics, and probability.
Expectations: I expect every student to walk into the classroom each day ready to do his or her best. I expect that you will be successful because you will be working hard. If you have a goal grade in mind, let me know early on so we can work together towards this for you.
Homework: Homework will be assigned and checked daily. Homework grades of 3, 2, 1, and 0 (3 being the highest, 0 the lowest) will be given daily when I check over it in class. After your first “0” on a homework, every successive “0” will result in an academic conditional. Homework is about looking back on what we have learned in the past few days and at least trying EVERY problem. You can still receive a “3” even if every problem is not correct, as long as the work is neat and shown for each problem. Do not skip questions just because you don’t know how to do them, go back, look at your notes, and write out what you do know. About once a week, I will assign problems we have already done for homework to be turned into me and graded. These problems all need to be re-copied onto one sheet of paper and corrected before they are handed in to me.
Course Grade Breakdown:
Homework 30%
Quizzes 20%
Tests 30%
Projects, Writing Assignments, Etc. 20%
Materials:
Closing Thought: Please contact or come see me BEFORE problems arise with your work in this class. We can work together on bringing your grade up if you come to me far enough before the end of the quarter. This means as soon as you receive a few grades you don’t like, come talk to me. Do not wait until the week before grades close to ask me if there is any extra credit you can do! Part of middle school is learning responsibility and I expect each of you to take charge of this part of your life. I am willing to help you out if you put in the extra effort, but it has to be done in a responsible manner.
