Hello everyone,
This week, we are continuing our study of positive and negative numbers by learning how to multiply and divide with them. Here are the lessons for the week:
Monday: Lesson 2.3, homework is here.
Tuesday: Lesson 2.4, homework is on the second page of Monday's homework.
Wednesday: Review for Integers Test, homework is to study for the test
Thursday: Integers Test, no homework
Friday: Test corrections, homework is to complete test corrections (due next Friday)
Scholars need to bring their new Ready! textbooks to class every day from now on, along with their Integer Packets. Their integer packets are just photocopies of the Math In Focus textbook pages for lessons 2.3-2.4, so that they can take notes directly onto the pages. If you misplace your packet, you can get a copy here.
Because scholars will not have access to calculators on Thursday's test, it's very important to work on mental math: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing are all important skills. I recommend going to http://www.hoodamath.com/ and clicking on "math subject," then selecting the skill (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division) that you would like to work on.
There are also some great free apps available for smartphones and tablets. Any game that focuses on the four basic operations will be a great help!
As always, let me know if you have any questions.
