Technology Lab -- 20 minutes of typing, 30-40 minutes of preparing for the Chapter 10 test tomorrow, doing a little research about Christmas in the colonies and finally two short movies on WWII & Pear Harbor. After technology we returned to class and prepped some more for tomorrow’s math test. The biggest areas that were stumping about 30% of the class (i.e. I know the % thanks to the response devices) were the number line and converting fractions into decimals and back.
Homework tonight: The version A of the multiple choice test.
Here is the test on-line with all of the math resources from this year:
