Brain Teaser of the month:
Some people believe that January 1, 2000 is the first day of the 21st century. Other people believe that the honor belongs to January 1, 2001. But everyone should agree that January 1, 2002 is the first "sum-day" of the new century- when you write out that date in standard notation, it becomes 01/01/02, and 1+1=2. More generally, a sum-day is a date in which the day and month add up to the year. With that in mind:
A) What is the last sum-day of the 21st century?
B) How many sum-days are there in the 21st century?
A) What is the last sum-day of the 21st century?

6th Grade Pre-Algebra
We're off to a good start in Pre-Algebra this year. Its always a little rough on the transition from elementary school to middle school, especially with a challenging course, but the students are trying hard and developing some great skills.
Keep working on those adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing facts. It will help out greatly.

7th/8th Grade Algebra
students are doing a great job of using what they learned last year to help them this year.
I love hearing a 7th grader who struggled last year say, "This is so easy. " Its because they have developed a strong foundation to build on.
7th and 8th grade continue to work on Mathcounts as well as their regular curriculm. See Class Announcements for more information.
