Some typos in the Winter Break Packet...

Hi everyone,

Don't worry about problems 7 and 13 in the Winter Break packet, they each have typos that make solving them impossible.

Sorry about that, see you next week!

Have a wonderful break and a Happy New Year!

Enjoy your break!

If you've misplaced your Math Winter Break packet, you can print out another one here.

See you all in 2016!

Work for this week

Hello everyone,

This week we have been reviewing decimals and fractions. Test corrections for the Percents Unit Exam are due on Friday. We don't have homework on Wednesday because we are taking an interim assessment quiz, but Thursday's homework is here. (You only need to do the first page!)

If you need more practice with fractions and decimals, play some of the games linked on the right side of the page, or try one of these games from our Olympiad in class:

Homework for this week

Hi everyone,

For tonight's homework, scholars need to complete problems 51-58 in their percents packet. (The page is here in case they don't have the packet at home.) They received their quizzes back, and corrections are due next Tuesday.

We will have the final exam for the percents unit on Thursday. On Wednesday, the only homework will be to study for the exam.

Let me know if you have any questions!
