Math 6

-Students were given their math text today.  They are to have it covered by Monday.  Students are responsible for their text this year and they may take them home to complete homework and work with a tutor.

-Today students did a math review sheet.  This sheet does not count for marks, but is intended to identify where review is needed.  Basic math skills from elementary are assessed on the sheet.  Students need to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide without the use of a calculator.   During this week we will be doing mini lessons in class to review skills from previous grades.   Mr. Walsh will be in the class so that we can both assist students who may need a review.  I encourage students to be regularly reviewing their multiplication tables at home with their parents.   The work sheet is in the students’ binder.

-Today students worked on page 68 Q 5, 6 and 10.  This was not assigned for homework.  We will continue with these questions tomorrow in class.
