Week of November 26th and December 3rd
Welcome back after what was, hopefully, a relaxing holiday.
Here’s our news for the week in Math class.
We are starting to work in our next Unit, Number Systems. This unit includes revisiting past skills and introducing new ones involving:
- division of fractions (which reviews multiplication of fractions)
- division of mixed numbers and fractions (reviews converting mixed to improper and vice-versa)
- addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of decimals
- multi-digit long division
- an introduction to integers and absolute value
- plotting and finding distances on the coordinate plane
- finding common factors and multiples
– We will have a quiz on December 6th on Lessons 6-8.
– Please remember to check Parent Connect weekly (Tuesday is the best day) and have your child share their planners with you from time to time.
– By now, all parents should have read and confirmed seeing the letter regarding Khan Academy posted on Google Classroom and shared with you by students. That letter is also here on the blog in my “pages”.
– Finally, here’s a link to a survey for parents put out by the “Dearborn Shines” Project which Mrs. Jebril asked with share with parents. We’d appreciate it if you took a moment to take the survey and thanks in advance for doing so. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/dshines
Have a great few weeks, everyone!
