Hi everyone,
7th grade math study guides went home yesterday. Please let me know if you have any questions about the study guide or exam. The exam is an identical format of the study guide format, and is about half the length of the study guide. I have changed the first due date, originally set for Friday, 12/4, to Monday 12/7. Both part I and part II are now due Monday 12/7. I made this change due to Louisiana Day tomorrow. Also, students will have the opportunity to work on their math study guides during math class on Friday morning before the speaker comes. The last spiral of the nine weeks is due on Tuesday 12/8.
6th graders received their quizzes yesterday. They took these quizzes on Thursday before Thanksgiving break, and I marked wrong answers and returned them (ungraded) on Friday for them to correct any errors. I went over three common mistakes on the test: renaming fractions to subtract, renaming mixed numbers with improper fractions, and naming fractions such as 4/4 = 1. Each item on the quiz was worth 3 points for a total of 36 points. The students were given classtime on Friday to rework any missed problems, and were provided with the correct answers. If the students correctly worked a missed problem, I deducted 1.5 points instead of 3 points. If they did not rework the missed problem correctly they missed the full 3 points. All quizzes must be signed and returned by Friday. Students may not work test corrections for extra credit for this quiz as they were already given an opportunity to improve their scores.
Have a great rest of the week and weekend!
Mrs. Serpas
