Tackling Problem Solving in 5th Grade

While refreshing double-digit multiplication skills, the 5th graders are powering through problem solving by learning to define the problem, identify the knowns, set up the equation and solve.  Remember the units!

Let's be Rational!

8th grade has been challenged to think 'rationally'.   This involves more than thinking clearly!  Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as fractions.  We'll be perfecting fraction operations in Ch. 2.

8th grade Math off to a good start

8th grade Math students are reviewing evaluation of algebraic expressions and writing algebraic expressions.  We'll continue to review number properties and integers next week.

Welcome Back Students

I bet you all had some fun summer adventures. It will be good for all of us to get back into a learning routine. Make sure to get your rest, drink lots of water and eat well. Summer Math Packets are due the first day of school.

Let's stoke the fire!
