IXL After Completion of Test

Once you have completed your test, you may work on IXL FF14 (6th grade). You will show your work on a lined paper using the following steps:

V=lwh

V= (substitute)

V= (multiply)

V= (answer in cubic units)

For some of the IXL, you will need to use the “work backwards” and “guess and check” strategies.

Work backwards—> Start with the total volume instead of starting with the dimensions

Guess and check–> Guess what the missing dimension is and multiply. Then, try another guess to get closer and closer to the correct missing dimension.

Wayne County Regional Enhancement Education Millage Proposal

 

School districts in Wayne County have placed a proposal on the November 8th ballot to provide added funding for our schools. It is the “Regional Enhancement Millage Proposal.”

If approved by the entire county, the 2 mil proposal will generate approximately $6.2 million from Dearborn but the District will receive $7.8 million in additional funding for our schools.  Money would go to local schools starting this year and the millage expires after six years.  Continue reading Wayne County Regional Enhancement Education Millage Proposal
