Chapter 1 Test

Greetings Parents,
 Today we handed back Chapter 1 tests.  You will notice that there are two grades on the test, one for each standard.  First, we have Number Sense (NS).  This was from the whole number division problems on the test.  Also, you will see Expressions and Equations (EE).  Your child should be bringing home their test today to show you. 
  I graded each concept separately. 
            1. Division     
            2. Exponents
            3. Order of Operations
   Also included were some mental math problems and estimating.  If he or she had too many wrong in any area I assigned practice problems and am doing reteaching through Friday.  On Friday we are doing a quick retake on just the sections that were a struggle and that grade will replace or remain the same as the test grade. 

This week we are continuing on starting some algebra concepts.  If you are following the online book with your child's password and username it is Chapter 2.  WEBSITE: my.hrw.com

Wednesday: Chapter 2-1
Thursday: Chapter 2-2
Friday: Chapter 2-3

Please encourage them to watch the online videos to help understand the concepts even before we start them in class.  Enjoy your week!
