Let me begin by saying that we have gotten off to a wonderful start in AC math this year, and a HUGE thanks to those of you who donated supplies. It is GREATLY appreciated!!! We are currently in unit 1 (Number Sense Fluency). In this unit we cover:
The students were given their study guides for unit 1 last week. This is to be completed over the course of unit 1 (approx. 5 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 we are reviewing operations with decimals, and the first quiz is planned for Thursday/ Friday (11th or 12th) depending on the readiness of the students. 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. The strategy of long division is a 6th grade standard that must be mastered while dividing decimals. If your child is struggling with this strategy, I have posted a couple of instructional videos under the videos tab.
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.
