Week of January 12th

Last week we began unit 4 (ratios, rates, and proportions). The study guide and I Can Statements have been posted for you to see. Students will receive a hard copy of the study guide this week. It will take us approximately 4 weeks to complete this unit, so please help to monitor your child closely to make sure they are completing their study guide as topics are covered in class. A quiz is planned for Tuesday or Wednesday of this week depending on whether or not students complete the Scavenger Hunt activity on Monday. In order to prepare for the quiz, students should be able to complete problems similar to Part A on the study guide. This week we are also learning how to identify and solve proportions. During A squared we will review and learn how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percents.
