We will begin this week with our second interactive notebook quiz. If students have their notebooks up-to-date, they should score a 100%. Since we had RTI benchmark testing on Thursday 11/9, we were not able to get through all the lessons originally planned. Most classes are ready to begin Lesson 8 this week which involves applying the properties of operations to add and subtract rational numbers. As we progress into more use of fractions and decimals, I've encouraged students who need it to use a number line. I found a great website that has number lines (among other items) that can be customized to represent various fractions (i.e. halves, fourths etc.). Click here for link.
This week we will also begin our discussion of multiplication and division of rational numbers. Just a reminder - my new after school help sessions will only be on Tuesdays due to tutoring on Thursdays. REMINDER - Test corrections are due Thursday 11/ 16! |
