We will continue in unit 2 this week by learning the basics of integers and absolute value. Students will also learn how to compare and order rational numbers. Students will have notes on these topics in their math spirals for support at home.
Midterms are scheduled for Thursday, October 1st and Friday, October 2nd. Language Arts and Science will be on Thursday and Math and Social Studies will be on Friday. For 6th grade, these tests will just be chapter/unit tests. For math, the test will cover the first part of unit 2 as well as some concepts from unit 1. Students can use their study guides, old quizzes, and old tests to prepare for the exam. The "I Can Statements", under the extra practice tab, are always a good source of extra practice.
