We have just two more weeks until Christmas break! Am I the only one counting? For 6th graders, we have just 6 more days until our final unit test for the semester. For Algebra students, we have 9 more days until the final unit test. We definitely have a lot of milestones coming up.
This week, 6th graders will be studying how to compare, order, and identify fractions, decimals, and mixed numbers on the number line. We will also be reviewing for Unit Test 3, which will be on Tuesday, December 15. I am planning to get the study guide on on Friday so that you will have the weekend to work on it for extra credit. The format of the test will be the same as usual: 25 multiple choice questions and you have to show your work on the back.
This week, Algebra students will be using their skills of solving systems of equations to solve three types of word problems: mixture problems, rate problems, and two digit number problems. We will focus on one type of problem per day and review all three on Thursday and have a quiz on Friday. Unit Test 3 for Algebra 1 will be on Thursday, December 17. Since systems of equations generally take longer to solve than the previous problems, there will be fewer problems on the test. Instead of the normal 25 multiple choice problems, there will be 15 multiple choice problems.
Homework for the week is as follows:
