In EDM, students practiced skills that have been introduced both this week and last.
- Simplifying fractions
- Calculating sums with like denominators
- Calculating differences with like denominators
- Calculating sums and differences for mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
- Converting fractions to decimals.
Practice these skills over the weekend as well. The more you practice, the easier these tasks are going to become for you. View the videos as well to help refresh your memory.
- In Class:

- Use the links about to continue your practice over the weekend for the four skills above and any other skill that you desire.
In Pre-Algebra, students closed out Chapter Four by completing their Chapter Four Summative Assessment. Skills assessed were:
- identifying populations, samples, and sampling methods
- evaluating whether a sample was biased
- demonstrating an understanding
for the measures of central tendency - constructing appropriate graphical representations for various data sets
- arguing reasons to support that a graphical representation is misleading
- communicating using mathematical language/terms
Check GBW during the weekend to see how students performed on the assessment.
- In Class:
