In Math Six today, students previewed some of the material that will be presented on tomorrow's Unit Four formative pretest.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be introduced to...

1. performing fraction computations.
2. estimating reasonable solutions to problems involving fractions.
3. determining the percent of a number and solve related problems.

For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...

1. use Khan Academy to help with front-loading material for tomorrow's Unit Four formative pretest.
• Comparing fractions

In Pre-Algebra today, students worked with Lesson 4.6: Misleading Graphs and Statistics.  Students analyzed various graphical representations of data for traits that could misguide the reader's interpretation of the data.  The students were also informed that the Chapter Four summative posttest will occur on Wednesday, November 28th.  

Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

1. identify misleading graphs and statistics.
2. develop solutions/corrections to help better represent graphical representations.  

For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...

1. correct the first three columns of Chapter Four formative pretest.
2. review material from lessons 4.1 through 4.4 in preparation of Wednesday's assessment.
