SIXTH GRADE MATH

On Friday, class was shortened because of House and a fire drill. The class turned in their homework and homework policy forms. We didn't have time to take the next timed test. There is no homework!

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

We continued the lesson from Thursday. The class learned how to use compatible numbers in division. The homework assignment is to finish the lesson - #18-32 All. To use compatible numbers, you have to change the numbers in the division problem to "friendly" numbers. For example, if your problem was 50 divided by 7, you could estimate that by changing the 50 to 49 and dividing 49 by 7. The estimate would be 7. If your problem was 37.72 divided by 6.48, you could change the 37.72 to 36 and the 6.48 to 6 and divide 36 by 6. Your estimate would then be 6.
