Benchmark Test on Friday
concepts covered will be:
integers: adding and subtracting
multiplication of decimals. Know how to estimate and find exact answer.
Geometry: line, ray, perpendicular lines This is on page 454 and 455 of your textbook
Finding the percent of a number. Know how to use number strings like we did in class.
homework
Vocabulary: page 105 unit 12
Math: Please use your 100 grids to find the fractions 1/6 and 1/9 . You will need to divide some of the squares into fractions.
Then write about the relationships you see. For example you might say : I know that 1/8 is half of 1/4. Since 1/4 is 25% I know that 1/8 is going to be 12.5% because 25% divided by 2 is 12.5.
This could be one example.
For those of you out of town: use the graph paper from my website to make 100 grids. This is an extension of Friday's lesson where we used the grids to find 1/8 and 3/8. Remember you will not to cut some of the squares into pieces. Remember how the to find 1/8 of the 100 grid we had to cut some squares in half.
