Individuals are called upon every day to use their ability to make quick mental calculations to make decisions. The development of such abilities should be an integral part of the math curriculum. Concepts covered include, but are not limited to: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, proportions, and use of mathematic notation. Students will be given a 10-minute, fill-in-the-blank test which they must complete without doing calculations on paper or on a calculator. Erasures and mark-outs are not permitted. After practicing for seven weeks, three students from each grade level will be chosen to represent Deep Wood at our Learning Community Meet.Â
This team will practice each Tuesday starting the week of November 18th through the week of January 27th from 3:00 - 4:00 pm.
