In Second Period Math Six today, students continued to develop their understanding of division by working with dividends that had decimals. Lesson 2.8: Division with Decimals again required us to estimate quotients and then check our estimations by using a division algorithm.

Fourth Period Math Six worked on scientific notation using Khan.
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...

1. estimate quotients for division problems.  (Second Period)
2. check accuracy of an estimate by dividing numbers with a decimal in the dividend.  (Second Period)
3. convert numbers from standard notation into scientific notation and from scientific to standard.  (Fourth Period)
4. work on some additional Khan skills for review:
• Decimal Challenge
• Dividing Decimals I

For Weekend Practice, it is suggested that students...

1. correct their mistakes on the Unit Two Formative Pretest.
2. complete any of the Khan Skills that you did not finish during our time in the computer lab.  (Fourth Period)
• Decimal Challenge
• Dividing Decimals I
