Finished Pretest and on to Long Division

Today we submitted the pretest and will check back later on to see how much progress we make throughout the year.  Tomorrow we begin whole number operations.  If you want a head start or to review here is a video from math antics that does a pretty good job explaining.  You could consider this your "homework" since we don't have an assignment yet.

First math problems and some games if you are interested

Today we did a quick overview of some math problems.  Some were challenging and some were easier.  Hopefully you have a feel of getting back into working with numbers to find solutions.  :)

So, if you finished and you want to relax a bit here are two games you can try out.  You might like one more than the other.

1. A game called Basketballs from hoodamath. You get to make baskets and knock over refs using arcs and angles.

2. A game from think fun called rush hour.  Some of you have seen this before.  Your goal is the drive the red car out of the exit by moving other cars around. There are three levels if the first one is too easy.

See you tomorrow when we'll get started with the bigideasmath site.
