This week, students will be taking home their textbooks. According to the Williams Act, the school district is required to supply all students with a textbook. The textbooks should stay home and be used as a possible resource if students are stuck. We also may have homework from the textbook. So, keep it at home and take care of it there!
We will also be taking the STAR test on the computer (or iPad, whatever is first available). The STAR test is a computer-adaptive test: a correct answer on a question leads to a more difficult one and an incorrect answer leads to an easier question. Additionally, if too much time is spent on a problem, a wrong answer is assumed and the student is moved on to the next question. The results estimate the grade level proficiency of the student and we use this test to track overall progress throughout the year.
Everyone needs a math journal starting this week. Please make sure that your child comes to school with a math journal (a notebook with graph paper inside).
6th Accelerated (Periods 2 and 6)
Students should have received their score from the MDTP placement test. Some student schedules may change as a result of this test. If your child's schedule is changing, you will receive a phone call from Mr. Chamberlin.
This week, we will be exploring the addition of integers and rational numbers.
On Friday, we will be taking our first quiz on Adding Integers and Rational Numbers. There is a Practice Quiz here that is due at the beginning of class on Friday.
7th Grade (Periods 1, 4, and 5)
This week we will continue practicing the addition of integers and look for patterns to help us do this quickly.
