Next TEST is on Tuesday, Sept 25

The next major assignment is TEST 1.2. 

Students should be studying all the material that has been taught this year, especially the new material.  Since our last test we have covered naming decimals, ordering decimals, and add/sub decimals.  Remember that word problems will always be part of our tests.

We usually include 3-8 questions that are a review of previous materials so students should be prepared to complete basic operations (add/sub/mult/divide), set up word problems using EPSE, and complete problems of Order of Operations (PEMDAS).

Tests & quizzes must be completed within the allotted time.  Generally quizzes are 15-20 minutes and tests are 40-50 minutes.  Students should be competent and secure in their basic operations.  Student should study before the assessment so that they can recall operations and steps quickly during the assessment.
