Tuesday October 25, 2011

Today I will check for completion of last night's homework (page 17 of math work book).

We will then take quick notes on estimating decimals. Students are all quite familiar with rounding and estimating, so we will move quickly through this section.

Over the next three days, I am going to allow 8 students each day to use the computers in my classroom for practice using decimals. There are some really good websites that allow students to play a quick game or activity every time they answer the question correctly. If they answer incorrectly, they must move on to the next question. I will remind the students that using the computers is a privilege that can be revoked for inappropriate behavior, disrespect, or being disruptive during class.

Here is the link to the website which we will be using in class.
