Most of you did SO WELL on the mid-chapter test! Review a little bit each day between now and the day of the test, and you should do very well again! It's fun watching so many of you work hard and be so successful with fractions!!! :)

Thunder Homework

Team Thunder... your homework is what I assigned in class today and not what I posted yesterday with Columbia's homework - slightly different...

The Smiley Face =)

I'm grading math tests right now, and they're looking good so far!!!
Speaking of that, I'm looking for some more smiley face ideas for future tests... Please post any good ones in the comments section... You know you'd love to see one of your smiley faces during a test!

Thunder Homework

Woops...

My mistake... I wrote some of the wrong problems for Friday's homework. It should be #63-65 and not #61-63. Sorry about that! #61-63 were more difficult problems - if you did those, you do not need to do #63-65! Teachers make mistakes, too... My apologies.

Remember that I will be using ZAP beginning with this homework assignment. If I check/correct your homework and you don't get a passing grade (3 or above), you will go to ZAP - an opportunity for you to make sure you understand the material by doing the homework correctly. Avoid ZAP by doing it correctly the first time :) (Use hotmath and/or come in for help, if necessary.)

***Test 2.1 - 2.4 on Sept 23/26

Hotmath

We looked at hotmath.com in class today... USE IT!!! It's a great resource that will walk you through any odd problem in the book. Look at the right side of this blog (under passwords) for help locating our book in hotmath. I'm curious to see whether or not you all find it helpful. If you wouldn't mind, leave a comment below letting me know... Thanks! :)

Adding Integers - Extra Credit!!! :)

I know I've said it over and over again, but it is crucial that you know how to add and subtract integers. Here's an easy way to practice adding integers... and get some extra credit at the same time! Be responsible for your own learning. If you know that you struggle in this area, keep playing these games until you've mastered the concept! If you practice enough, you WILL get it!

Click here and then choose either Test, Scatter, or Space Race. Leave a comment below with your name, period, the game/activity you chose, and your time/score (time for Scatter, or score for Test or Space Race). This extra credit opportunity is good through next Thursday 9/22... (You don't have to post your very first time/score; you're most likely going to improve with practice. Wait until you're happy with your result - then post!)

***Comments do not get posted immediately - I have to approve them first... Depending on when I get to my computer, it may take some time for the comment to appear

Have fun! :)
