Today we will begin Unit 3 focusing on decimals. Our first lesson will deal with Representing, Comparing, and Ordering decimals. This unit will follow the text book more than the previous units have, so if your child has not yet checked out a text book CD to help at home, please remind them to do so. I have a limited supply so CDs need to be checked out and returned to me.
The scores from the pre-test were higher overall for this unit, which means we will spend less time taking notes and more time applying what they know in activities, word problems, or possibly a project. I am looking forward to high scores on the upcoming homework and quizzes!
