This week is Ratios and Proportions Common Assessment Week! Because the common assessment is quite long, I thought it would be less stressful if we did it in parts. Please use the study guides at home as well as ISN pages for a review.
Here is the schedule:
Monday: Review for Part 1/Study Guide
Tuesday: Part 1 Test/Study Guide for Part 2
Wednesday: Part 2 Test
Thursday: Study Guide for Part 3/In Class Practice
Friday: Part 3 Test
At the right there is a link for Khan Academy and NWEA. If you log in or register for Khan Academy, which is free, you can view tutorial videos for your NWEA score range. These videos are very helpful, and you can then practice those skills on ixl.com. Any grade level is available for you on ixl.com.
For those students who would like an extra credit opportunity, here is a list of ixl.com topics that they can complete during the vacation. They should have their user names and passwords with them at home to log in.

*These categories will help you prepare for the NWEA test and the M-Step test later in May.
