Friday December 2, 2011

Today I have planned an activity for students to practice what we have covered the last 2 days in class. Students will work in pairs to solve percent to decimal and multiplication problems. They will use their answers to find corresponding letters which they will then use to fill in the blanks in a quote that I have chosen for them. Below are the problems they will be working on in class.

Also, next week students will be taking a benchmark test. It is similar to an EOG type test to measure where students are at this point in the year. I have looked through the questions and some cover concepts we have not yet studied, so I do not expect perfect scores. It is simply a way to collect data for comparisons in the future. This is not a test that they need to study for and it will all be completed during class.
