We have been super busy in math the past few weeks. Students have been working hard on remediation from the mid year scrimmage as well as new material in their Duval math module. Students have received their mid term progress report last week. If you have not signed and returned it, please have them bring it in this week signed. Many students have received a multiplication timed facts test back to study these facts. Students' fluency in their multiplication facts not only helps them when multiplying but also in division and fractions. Students need to study these facts as well as complete nightly math homework.
Math
We are in module five now which covers fractions. Students have learned how to decompose, make equivalent fractions as well as compare fractions greater than, less than, or equal to. We are now working on adding and subtracting fractions. Look for nightly homework for students to practice what we are working on in class.
Science
We have started the chapter on the earth, the sun and the moon. Students will be working on these assignments in class.
