Week o f August 14th

The students were given their study guides for unit 1 last week. This is to be completed over the course of unit 1 (approx. 6 weeks). I have instructed the students to begin now and complete a few problems each night, as concepts are covered, so that it doesn’t become overwhelming.  Study guides will always be assigned at the beginning of a unit and be due the day before the unit test. I don’t have an exact date for the unit 1 test at this time, but I will let you and the students know an exact date as the time draws closer. The study guide is also located under the study guide tab in case your child loses theirs and needs to print another one. I have also posted the answers to the study guide, so students may check their understanding while working and preparing for quizzes during the course of the unit. This will also allow students the opportunity to ask me questions along the way if needed. Since answers are posted, all work must be included. 

Homework is now being assigned, so check your child’s agenda nightly to help ensure that they are prepared for class the next day. Homework is worth five points and is graded for completion. 
 
This week and last we are reviewing GCF and LCM, and the first quiz is planned for Thursday the 17th. Your child has notes and practice problems in their math spirals and binders to assist them with studying. Helpful math websites are also posted on this site. 
  
I will post updates here on a regular basis, so be sure to check weekly to stay current on what is going on in AC math
