Pre-test for Chapter 6 on Monday

Circles and Area pretest on Monday.  I'll be using that information to form smaller learning groups and teach the concepts to about ten students at a time, through a rotation, rather than whole group instruction.  It's a model called "math workshop" that some students have already done in elementary school. 

So, the schedule for the week looks like this:
Monday - Pretest and explain rotations
Tuesday - Dry run of rotations and teaching games for the games station
Wednesday -> Friday - Starting the chapter and rolling on

Also, if your child had a 1 on either standard on the test I will be giving them an opportunity to show their knowledge of the content through some practice sheets and also a small quiz when they complete those.  That one is not permanent, but they need to do the work to show mastery of the skill(s). 

Email me if you have questions.  Thanks.
