Day 16: Topic One Test Review - Challenge Day

Today in Math 6 students received their Topic One Posttest back from Mr. Giomini. Time was spent on analyzing common mistakes as well as celebrating successes. Once that was completed, Mr. Giomini shared a Google Form with the students that they are to complete regarding their performance on the posttest.

Quizlet Live was introduced to the students to help with Topic Two: Integers and Rational Numbers vocabulary. During this topic, two vocabulary quizzes are going to be administered; today was just a way to introduce the new terms and get an idea of what prior knowledge students have with the terms.
