Math
Our study of integers has been going REALLY well! Last week's SchoolNet quiz showed a 20% jump in proficiency on the skill of adding integers using number lines! We continue that work this week as we look deeper at the patterns we see when adding different combinations of rational numbers. Check here for assignments and lessons. We are in lessons 4 thru 7 this week. Lastly, my tutoring has begun! I'm available Tuesdays from 3:45 - 4:45. Students are always welcome to drop in and get some help!.
