5.1.1-3 Quiz Corrections

Quizzes from yesterday were returned to students today.  Because this was the first quiz of the year, students were allowed to do corrections to get half credit back on any questions they missed.  If students did not complete their corrections in class, they need to be turned in on Tuesday.  We have completed our review of the basic operations and will be starting decimals next week.  On Tuesday, students will be getting their logins for their textbook and will be expected to attempt to login at home.

5.1.1-3 Review

Today we reviewed the first three sections of our unit.  It includes addition, subtracting, multiplication, and division.  Students will be taking a quiz tomorrow.  The quiz will be very similar to the review assignment that students worked on in class today and is due tomorrow.  Below is a link to the review assignment:

Expectations and Binders

Today we went over the expectations for a middle school math class.  We then put our binders together.    We labeled the dividers with the following categories: bell work, notes, homework, timed tests, quizzes, and tests.  Then we worked on mental math by completing some 24 cards.

Introduction

Today we got to know each other.  I told students about myself and began the process of learning their names.  I introduced students to this website and showed them how to answer the problem of the day.  Today's homework is for students to take home the Million Words "assignment."  I would like parents to tell me about their child in a million words or less.  Also, students need to bring their binder, tabs/dividers, and loose leaf paper to class tomorrow as we will be setting up our binders.  Below is a link to the Million Words assignment:
