Update on schedule this week

After notes and examples with my core 1 class, I realized that we are going to have to spend more time covering multiplication. Nearly every student seemed comfortable with the examples from class, but when they began their independent practice, I realized that they are struggling with some basic multiplication. Instead of moving on to dividing decimals tomorrow, we will take another day to practice multiplying decimals. We will still have a quiz on Friday (almost every student was in favor of a quiz as a last opportunity to raise their grade before the end of the grading period), but it will not have any division of decimals.

Here are some sample questions for the quiz
