We are currently in unit 1 (Number Sense Fluency). In this unit we cover:
- operations with decimals
- factors/multiples
- GCF/LCM
- Distributive property
- Dividing Fractions (modeling&
algorithm) - Converting fractions to decimals
The students were given their study guides for unit 1 on Monday. This is to be completed over the course of unit 1 (approx. 3 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 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 incase your child loses theirs and needs to print another one.
Homework is now being assigned, so check your child’s agenda nightly to help ensure that they are prepared for class the next day.
This week we are reviewing operations with decimals, and the first quiz is planned for Friday, the 8th. 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 sit
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. We also have a team weebly site that can be accessed for further information.
