Week of August 20th

Hi everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the weekend in spite of the dreary weather. 

Both sections will have a major test this week, study sheets were passed out last week. I pass out these sheets before every major test, and they are super important! Students often feel that they don't know how to study for math tests. A key to preparing/studying for a math test is to WORK PROBLEMS.

Refer to these sheets and examples to work problems from these sections. You can always work odd problems and check the answers in the back of the book.

6th grade: Spiral due this Tuesday at the beginning of class. You will not have time to complete it during class. Make sure you have written your first and last name as well as your math number. 

Test Wednesday, refer to handout.

Don't forget that homework is due tomorrow, this was assigned Friday.

7th grade: Spiral due Tuesday at the beginning of class. You will not have time to complete it during class. Make sure you have circled your class hour (typed in upper left hand corner of spiral), written first and last name and your math number.

Test Friday, refer to handout.

Have a great week everyone!
