Day 42: Concept Two Posttest / Solving Inequalities / Concept Two Test Breakdown

Today in Math 6 - 1 & 3°, students were administered their Concept Two: Integers and Rational Numbers posttest.   

During Math 6 - 2°, students first began a Quick Check dealing with Lesson 2.6: Write Inequalities. Students then worked with solving inequalities.  Mr. Giomini modeled some for the students.  

Students in Math 6+ received their Concept Two posttest back in class today.  Mr. Giomini showed the students the box-and-whisker plot below and discussed how to read the class's results based on the graphical representation.  Questions that caused a great deal of difficulty were modeled.  

New Khan Skills for Concept Three: Operations with Rational Numbers were shared with students and time was allotted for students to begin working on them in class.

Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities. (2°)
2. solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all non-negative rational numbers.  (1 & 3°)
3. understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.  (1 & 3°)
4. fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers using the standard algorithm for each operation. (all classes)

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to complete:

1. Math 6 - 1 & 3: Enjoy the night off
2. Math 6 - 2°:  Page 123 in enVision wkbk
3. Math 6+: Attempt a question Mr. Giomini posted to his Twitter account
4. All Classes: m > 10 minutes meaningful practice at Khan Academy
