Tuesday Students will be grouped today based on the quiz scores from last Friday.  Students will be grouped into 3 groups: Simplifying Expressions, Solving Equations, Word Problems.  Students will review the areas that they didn't receive mastery. Students will be able to retest on Wednesday.

Homework will depend on which group your child is working on.

Wednesday- Students will work on matching equations and word problems together. Many students struggle with creating an equation so this will be our focus today.

Edmodo

When we come back from Fall Break, I plan on utilizing the website www.edmodo.com for in and out of class assignments. If you do not have an account, then go create one for yourself. It is very similar to Facebook so most students should be able to figure it out. Put in the code for your class to join.
