To begin, I'd like to remind all parents/guardians and students that ALL tests and quizzes must be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to school. Thank you!
With that said, we recently completed our second unit in math which covered equations and inequalities. Pop quiz! Translate the following sentence into an inequality:
I will miss no more than 2 homework assignments per trimester.
H < 2
In exactly one month from today, our first trimester will come to a close. Finish strong and get every assignment in on time, complete quiz corrections for every quiz, and study for each test or quiz!
In math, we are moving on to fractions and decimals. We will begin this unit by learning about divisibility rules, factors and multiples, prime factorization, and determining least common multiples and greatest common factors. Once we have mastered these skills, we will be able to work more efficiently with fractions. We will discover patterns among fractions and decimals. To do this we will create equivalent fractions, compare fractions, estimate with fractions, measure with decimals, and compare and order decimals. With those skills mastered we will then attempt to estimate equivalent fractions and decimals, change decimals to fractions, chance fractions to decimals, and finally discover the patterns between them. Please watch some of the videos below to help with some of the skills required in this unit.
