Howdy, folks! I'm feeling a little under the weather, so I'm going to keep this update super quick. The kids started the week with their first big math test of the year and I was very happy with the overall results. Having all the classes average at a B for the first big test is awesome! For those who weren't as happy with their grades (even if they got a good grade and just want to improve), they can spend some of their Liberty Points to "buy" the chance to do test corrections.
The rest of the week was split between comparing and ordering real numbers and translating algebraic expressions and equations. Since the kids can use a calculator this year for all of their conversions, we could focus on all the small mistakes and misconceptions the kids have when converting, comparing, and ordering. For our work with translating, we focused on the trickiest parts of translating (things involving grouping symbols, uncommon words, and "flipping words") since the kids have been working on this topic for a few years now. The work for these two units are due tomorrow and we'll start the block with a review and going over any questions they might have had while working/reviewing over the weekend.
Well, I'm going to close things out here but as always, feel free to email if you have any questions. Hope everyone has a great week!
