Accelerated Math:

This week in Accelerated Math, we reviewed decimal operation skills (add, subtract, multiply decimals). We went over dividing fractions. Next week students can expect a post-assessment over decimals and fractions. Students  also took the I-Ready Diagonistic Assessment. This will give us more information on what students know and how we can best help them through their 6th grade year.
