Happy New Year!
We started back at school with new math units! Periods 1, 2, 3, and 6 are starting working on fractions. We are warming up with lowest terms, improper fractions, mixed numbers. Next we will be multiplying and dividing fractions. Then it will be on to Ratios. Periods 8 and 9 are working with rational numbers, what are they and then adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing rational numbers. Do you know what a rational number is? Ask your child. It is google, google, google time too! Periodically, we will be using google classroom! We have already used it in December. Also, we are using Moby Max and Prodigy on the chromebooks. Prodigy is in demand the most! Students can use it at home to practice math by going to: www.prodigy.com/play. They should know their login and password. Also, students can use Moby Max by logging into www.clever.com and then clicking on Moby Max. The login and password for Clever is their 6 digit i.d. number. MAP testing will begin the week of 1/23/17. There are PAWS cards drawings for each class every week! Students seem to choose a late home work pass, smencil or have lunch with the teacher and a friend the most. It is always great to be working with your child seeing them grow in math!
