Week of 11/8

This week we will be taking our Trimester 1 test on Monday. This is another way that I can assess the students to see how far they have come from the beginning of the year.

We will the be starting chapter 5- Fractions! Remember Fractions are your friends and we will be seeing a lot of them for the rest of the year. There are some great practice games/quizzes on Classzone.com

In Pre-Algebra the students are finishing up chapter 4 by working on a project. They will be surveying other 7th graders and creating their own data displays. This project is due on Wednesday 11/10.
