Week 17

6th Accelerated (https://sjusd.app.box.com/s/4da00xgz3wfsxk92o874)
Last Thursday, the students took their Unit 3 Test.  Overall, the results were pretty solid with most students earning a 4 (At Grade Level) or 5 (Above Grade Level) on the rubric for each of the three sections.  I've included the rubric that the grade that it translates to for the gradebook below.  We went over each of the questions on Friday and in small groups and then as a class "graded" a sample of questions.  Students will receive their individual scores on Monday.  Again (as with all unit tests), students and parents are welcome to come to school between 7:30am - 7:55am or after school on Mondays from 2:42pm - 3:30pm or by appointment to see the tests.

In the next two weeks, we will be completing a unit on percents.  We'll be studying this week the meaning of percents and how they relate to fractions and decimals as well as calculating percents in real world situations such as sales tax, tip, discounts, mark ups/mark downs, commission, and more.  It's a short unit and the test is scheduled for Thursday, December 18.

This week, students will be completing their projects on Rates, Equations, and Graphs.  Last week, each student (with their group, if applicable) had worked on their rough draft and received teacher approval for completed sections.  As soon as each group is checked off for Parts 1 - 7 of the rough draft, they can check out materials to complete their poster, keynote presentation, or google presentation.  The project will be due on Thursday, December 11.  The rubric and sample presentation are available on the box.
