Your student will use IXL to practice two skills this week: V2: Determine the meaning of words using synonyms in context and V4: Use context to identify the meaning of a word. Some students have account already set up through their school, but IXL is free to all students during this time, so an account is not necessary. Most students should aim for a SMART score of 80 or higher, but we understand that this is not an appropriate goal for all students. Student in exceptional language arts should attempt to achieve a SMART score of 90. Students who struggle in language arts should stop after 30 minutes even if they have not achieved a score of 80. At the end of the practice session, students should take a screen shot of their final score and email it to their ELA teacher.
Student Instructions
If you have an IXL account through your school, please log in. Otherwise, you may just go to IXL.com. Click on “Learning” and then “Language Arts.” Under 6th grade, practice the following skills: V2: Determine the meaning of words using synonyms in context and V4: Use context to identify the meaning of a word. Practice each skill until you achieve a SMART score of 80 OR until you have practiced for 30 minutes. Send a screen shot of your final score to your teacher.
Learning Opportunity Objective
The student will use context clues to determine or clarify the meaning of unknown words.
Comments
IXL is able to be customized for students. Exceptional students, for example, may practice the exact same skills at the 7th or even 8th grade level. Please email your ELA teacher with specific questions. Students who need extra vocabulary practice can try any of the “V” skills in IXL.

Your child will be solving a variety of Math problems involving algebraic concepts . Please have students watch the introduction video first. Then, encourage them to work through the 5 clues on a sheet of paper or print out the sheets. Calculators are allowed at your discretion. Finally, students should check their work with the answer key provided.
Student Instructions
An alien apocalypse is among us! Aliens are trying to take over the world! It appears that the aliens use algebra to encrypt their notes on the machine and communicate with each other. The MBI believe that the math notes they found with the morphing device will help reveal what the alien’s machine has been programmed to turn us into. A great math detective with algebra skills is needed on the team against the Alien Apocalypse! Watch the video first to get familiar with the case, and then solve the five clues in order using your best algebra skills. Make sure you read the directions on each clue sheet carefully, and remember to use the clues provided after completing the work to eliminate possible transformations as you go. Solve the clues and then cross the transformation possibilities off the list until one remains! The last transformation option remaining is what the alien’s device will morph humans into! Good luck detective!
Learning Opportunity Objective
Solve algebraic expressions and equations.
Comments
Watch the video first, and then solve the 5 clues in order from 1-5. An answer key has been provided so you can see if you answered all the clues correctly and cracked the case!
