Intercession Was A Big SUCCESS!!!!!!!

Well, we finished the Fall Intercession today. I think that the students who attended got a lot out of it. Many of them commented that they now understood things such as Elapsed Time, Multiplication, Division, Mean, Mode, Median, and Range. GOOD JOB!!!!!!!
Be ready when you come back to start on some NEW STUFF!!!!!! I'm proud of all of you ESPECIALLY those who came to Intercession every single day! We had some fun too in Math playing PIG, MUGGINS, CROSS OUT REPEATERS, MATH MAGIC, etc. See, Math CAN be fun!!!!! Have a GREAT Fall Break and be safe!!! Happy Halloween to all of you who will be out Trick-or-Treating next week!

Do YOU Know Your Equivalent Decimals and Fractions????

A LOT of students do not know these. They will be one of the questions on the Problem of the Day EVERY week until everyone memorizes them! We have put them in our notes AND in our Math Journals. Make it easy on yourself and learn them now. They will help you out!!!!
.10 = 1/10

.20 = 1/5

.50 = 1/2

.25 = 1/4

.125 = 1/8

You should know them the other way around too. For example, if I ask you what is 1/8 equal to in decimal form, you would say ".125". This will make it easier on the SOL test if you have to put numbers in order and they give you some in fractions and some in decimals. You would simply change the fractions to decimals and put them all in order. If they give you 3/4 then you already know that 1/4 is equal to .25 so three of those would be equal to .75. LEARN THEM AND MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF.
