We are finishing Unit 4: Proportional Relationships and Percentages. Students have completed a few lessons using an online tool called Jamboard involving real life situations with percentages. Students also completed a review day in preparation for the unit test. We will be having our end of Unit Test on Monday 2/6.

After completing this test next week, we will move onto our next unit which is Unit 5: Operations with Positive and Negative Numbers.
