Updated Test info

Tomorrows test will consist of 18 multiple choice questions covering the following topics......

There will be 7 questions that are review from previous lessons. They will cover scientific notation, multiplying decimals, dividing decimals, and finding the percent of a number. There questions are relatively simple compared to what they may have seen today.

The last eleven questions will cover listing factors, lcm, gcf prime factorization (draw a factor tree!), and prime and composite numbers. All questions are multiple choice, so students will see the answer in front of them. I will remind students to use their vocabulary to eliminate bad choices in order to pick the best answer

******Here are a few examples from what they will see on the test*****
