13 days remaining until EOGs!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We did a ton of small group work this morning, trying to remember what fractions are and how they work. \u00a0From this point on, we are really buckling down and reviewing the entire year’s worth of content. \u00a0This week we will touch on everything really, and find out where\u00a0we still have gaps.<\/p>\n
The students have two worksheets to do tonight. \u00a0One is a simple list of concepts they should understand and equation problems for each concept. \u00a0The other is a worksheet that is STRANGELY SIMILAR to the first worksheet, and just might have the same exact concepts expressed as word problems. \u00a0Odds that anyone comes in tomorrow having noticed this? \u00a0I’m hoping high!<\/p>\n
