Sorry that I did not give you and update last week. Lets chalk it up to the snow days and say we gave the blog a snow week too.
Last week we finished up our work on Fractions and took a quiz that we will complete the first day of this week. This week we will revisit Integers. Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, & Division will all be covered. While this may seem a real step back the goal of this week is to improve our sense of numbers, which will only help down the road with other concepts. As time allows we will expand our previous discussion of reducing fraction to talk about scaling and scale factors. Along with our Math work we will look at how notes are taken and used in class. These should be valuable tools for each of you, but if you do not know how to use them they have no worth. So we will look at wasy to get and keep your math folder organized.
Congratulations to all of you who are seeing the value of the homework. Great Job!
Please remember to submit all assignments timely to ensure the highest level of credit.
