**UPDATE** Here is the Study Guide Ans Key. Test will be on Friday!
**UPDATE** Here is the End of Mod 2 Study Guide. We will be testing at the end of this week. Hello! We are quickly nearing the end of Module 2 with just a few more lessons to go before our next test. Much of this upcoming test will utilize skills students needed for the last test (basic operations with rational numbers, understanding long division and the Integer Card game). New skills that we have been practicing in class that students will need to demonstrate on this next test include: *Completing a transaction register with withdrawals and deposits (similar to balancing a check book) - Click here for a video on Lesson 20 Problem Set #2 *Understanding how to represent profit and expenses in an expression *Writing and evaluating equivalent expressions - Click here for a video on Lesson 19 Problem Set #2 This week students will also have the opportunity to re-take the first notebook quiz (on their own time) if they so choose. Going forward, re-takes will not generally be offered for quizzes. If you received your test back on Friday and are working on corrections, please ensure it is turned in no later than Friday! Last Friday we began the first of many where we will be discussing Growth Mindset. For those not familiar with Growth Mindset, there are lots of resources on the topic and I even have it as a link in my website (here). It is so important for students to understand that it is ok to make mistakes, as long as they do not give up and keep trying! That is how our brains grow! There are some famous failures we talk about such as Michael Jordan, J.K. Rowling, Albert Einstein etc. who all had their own struggles in life, but overcame these to go on to achieve great things! Last week we watched this short video (the first in a series of 5) and had a brief discussion on how our brain can grow by doing challenging things. Upcoming Events... N.U.T. Day - Friday 10/5 No School for Students - Mon 10/8 Picture Day - Friday 10/12 Have a great week everyone! |
