WELCOME BACK!! I hope everyone enjoyed their break!
There are less than 3 weeks in the 2nd quarter! I will be reminding students that time is running out and they need to put in the effort over the next few weeks if they would like to see their grades improve. I have several students in every class that are much more capable than what they have shown so far this year, so hopefully they all work hard for the next few weeks to improve their grades.
We will be spending the next 3 weeks looking at factors, prime and composite numbers, prime factorization, greatest common factor, and least common multiple. These concepts will lead into the next unit which will be fractions. It is important that students understand the concepts in this unit before we move to fractions. Here is what this week is looking like
Tuesday - Review decimal and percents quiz then pretest on upcoming unit
Wednesday - Divisibility rules day 1
Thursday - Divisibility rules day 2
Friday - Prime and composite numbers, quiz over divisibility rules
Next week we will get into prime factorization and greatest common factor.
