In the Math Resource class we have covered the following topics:
1. percent, fractions, decimals
2. algebra--linear expressions
3. multiplication and division fact review--particularly 10, 11, 5, 6, and 7
4. understanding and reading a windchill chart and related math skills
5. word problems in conjunction with 1 and 2 above
6. computer activities with all the topics above
This week we will use information and terms studied during our discussions of
windchill to review integers, the number line, positive numbers, negative
numbers, and absolute value. We will solve algebraic expressions related
to absolute value.
In the coming weeks we will cover:
1. addition and subtraction of fractions with common and uncommon denominators
2. multiplication of fractions
3. division of fractions
4. understanding and reporting information from graphs
5. estimation
6. measurement
7. geometry—comparing characteristics of 2 and 3 dimensional figures
9. algebra—proportions
A variety of activities will be used in the classroom to present the topics. Computers are used in skill development and for reinforcement. Students are graded using formative and summative assessments. Citizenship is also marked on a daily, weekly, and trimester marking period basis.
