We started our short unit on addition and subtraction skills today. The students have a 16 page booklet to be completed. An average of 4 pages per day need to be done. The motivation for the students to do a good, neat, thorough job on these pages is to get 80% or higher on every page. If they can maintain that average, they will not have to write a final test. I am anticipating that this unit will be completed in time to include their marks in the November report cards. This means that all work must be completed no later than Thursday, November 13th.
Students who wish to work ahead and get done sooner will not be discouraged from that. Once they are done the booklet and corrections, they will be given options of Math computer games, Math board-type games or some other acceptable "free-time" activity.
Students should have sufficient time in class to complete the required number of pages if they make very good use of that time. Otherwise, they will need to complete the work on their own time.
Have fun at the Halloween Family Dance tonight and happy "treating" on Friday. Be safe.
