Week of 9/12

I have been able to grade most of the Course 2 Tests and the students are doing a fantastic job with Chapter 1. We will be able to cruise into chapter 2 starting on Monday.

In Pre-Algebra we are wrapping up chapter 1 and our chapter test will be on Wednesday 9/14. The students are working on Halloween Ordered Pair Pictures and I am excited to see the final presentations.

Here are some helpful hints to the Course 2 Perimeter and Area Worksheet:

Start with the back side- it is easier.

Find Perimeter first!

Use P= Add All Sides for perimeter not the formulas we used in class.

Remember when finding area break the shapes into different rectangles that you can work with.

Come in and ask questions Monday morning. I will be in early to help!
