Linguishtik Worksheets

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope everyone had a restful winter break.

Linguishtik worksheets are linked at the right. There are seperate packets for Elementary and Middle students. Students receive a point on their Friday tournament scores for each page they complete up to a maximum of 20 points. Worksheets will be due before the February tournament (Feb. 6). Returning 8th graders can receive credit for only the Clause and Phrase worksheets.
If you are having difficulty printing out the worksheets, let me know, and I will print a copy out.

Also, please note that our next Saturday tournament is this coming weekend at Jackson Northeast Elementary School. Students should be there no later than 8:30 am.

On-Sets Worksheets

On-Sets Worksheets are linked at the left. This packet is smaller than the Equations worksheets, and students can only get a maximum of ten points toward their Friday tournament scores by completing these worksheets. As with the Equations worksheets, students get a point for every page they complete, regardless of the number of correct answers they get. All students can get points for these worksheets, there is no limitation on the 8th graders.

These worksheets are due before we leave for winter break. We will have some time to work on them at practice, so we do encourage students to bring them with them to practice.

Congratulations to all of the students who participated in the tournament.Our next saturday tournament will be December 12 at Amerman Elementary School in Northville. Please note that this is a change in location from what was announced at the start of the year.

Students need to attend at least three saturday tournaments to be eligible for the State tournament in March.

Equations Worksheets

Equations worksheets are linked on the right. There is a packet for Elementary players (6th graders) and one for Middle players (7th and 8th grade). We will not be printing out the worksheets this year, so it is up to each student to print them out on their own. Worksheets are due before Thanksgiving break. For every page completed, students will get one point added to their Friday tournament score, regardless of the number of problems they get correct. The idea is to reward effort. Students are encourage to bring their worksheet packet with them to all practices, as we will often have times when they can work on them with other students. 6th and 7th grade students can get a maximum of 20 points from the worksheets, while 8th grade students can get points for the worksheets that deal with variations that are new this year (exponent, AB+, number of factors, percent, decimal point)
