Math 8

-No class on Thursdays.

Math 7

-Today we reviewed the rules for modeling subtraction of integers using counters.  Students are to complete the formative worksheet for homework.  Students should also be working on their Mathletics tasks at home.  Students had part of math class and a work period today to complete work.

Math 6

-Today we did a group review of outcomes N1 and N7 for the test tomorrow.  See notes attached below for examples of questions that will be on the test.  Students were given a place value table that will help students who are struggling with place value questions.  This is an aid that students can use.  The goal would be that with practice they can begin to answer the questions without the use of the table. 

-Summative test (one that counts for report card) is tomorrow.

-Continue to use Mathletics to practice and review.  Tasks should be completed for Monday morning.  Each week new tasks will be assigned based on the student’s area of need.
