The week of Oct.17th - Oct. 21th, 2011


Math IA

Scatter plots and number types are the big topics this week.  I am predicting that we will spend most of our time multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers.  In my experience, this is often one of the most challenging topics for algebra students.  But, hopefully, if we prepare a good foundation now then later, when we introduce variables with fractional coefficients, they are more likely to be successful.   I am planning to give a large exam at the end of this week.  Any time you can spend practicing with your son or daughter would be helpful.
