Today was a busy day in math class. First I handed back the Chapter 2 test that the kids took on Friday. For those who scored lower than a 70%, I am HIGHLY recommending that you retake the test. In order to retake, you must study with Ms. Traviss or Mr. Gaultney tomorrow during Inspire. You can then retake the test on Wednesday during Inspire or Thursday during Inspire (if you are in choir). Retakes will take place in my room. Report to your Inspire teacher first then come to my room to retake the test.
We also started Chapter 3 which deals with fractions. The first lesson we talked about estimating sums, differences, products, and quotients using benchmarks, rounding, and compatible numbers
In the next week and a half, we will review adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions. For some kids, the thought of fractions causes panic. To help students who struggle with fractions or just want to work on their math homework, I am offering math help for the next few weeks. Math help will take place after school this week Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30. After this week, math help will be held on Tuesdays. Here are the dates: November 4, November 9, November 16, and November 30. If you are interested in staying after, please talk with Mrs. Slot.
That is a lot of information. Any questions, please e-mail me kslot@nvps.net or talk to me during class.
