Math 6: Students are working to model and solve division problems with fractions & will show us what they know on their quick check on Friday! This week we will jump into our work with algebra tiles and use our understanding of order of operations to evaluate Algebraic Expressions.
Math Map Testing is Tuesday!
ACE 6/7: Students are using their proportional reasoning to examine the relationship between graphs, tables, equations, and situations as well as to solve percent problems and work with similar figures. They should be doing a couple CYU Classkick slides each night per the pacing on our grade level launchpad. Their unit 8 assessment will be coming up soon! Math Map Testing is Tuesday, 1/30!

ELA: Students are working hard to develop an essay in which they analyze how a common theme shows up in two short stories. This will be great practice for the Ohio State Test this spring! Looking ahead, students will soon be starting the Outsiders Unit, so please be on the lookout for an email from your ELA teacher reminding families to provide the Outsiders book for this unit. We have some extras if needed!
