Math Class

We ended the first month of school with a test on Chapter 1. Most of the  students did very well on the test. We all need to remember that the important part is not the grade but what the student has learned. Mistakes made on tests are not a reason to be upset, but an opportunity to see where the student needs extra reinforcement, or sometimes just  a reminder that the student needs to read directions, compute carefully, and check their work over.

At the end of the week, students planned a party and had to compute expenses involved. This was a calculator activity, and also a reality check for most students of how much money it actually costs to make a party! Included in the project was the skills on how to figure out how much of each item they would need for amount of people invited to their party.
This coming week we will be taking Math assessments to be used to plan the curriculum to meet each student's level. Students do not need to study for these assessments, however, it would be  beneficial if students went to sleep on time, so that they are well rested.
