AGENDA 9/14 - 9/18

This week we are still going to be working on our basic skills. We will do interventions with those students that did poorly on the reference sheet test. We also took a pre-test on adding and subtracting integers using a number line, and another pre-test on real-world rational number application. These pre-tests are not for a grade. It is just to get baseline data on the students.

Tuesday: Review of basic math facts ~ Open House from 6:30pm - 8pm
Wednesday: Review of basic math facts, H/W: study for test tomorrow

Remember~ You should be doing flashcards every night until you master your facts! Our goal is to use a calculator as little as possible!
