Math Week 9-19-16

Hello all,

We have lots of announcements, so here goes...


1. OPEN HOUSE!! This coming Thursday (9-22-16) from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

2. Please make sure your student is signed up for Khan Academy-- link above-- and has added Mr. Albrecht as his/her coach. We have a graded goal of 6,000 points per week!

3. 7th graders will start a large unit on Proportional Reasoning: they will learn this week about ratios, rates, and unit rates. Students should practice operations with fractions on Khan Academy to build fluency for solving proportions tasks.

4. 8th graders will investigate the differences between rational and irrational numbers. Students will also learn about why a repeating decimal is rational and how to convert repeating decimals to fractions. Students should practice converting between decimals and fractions on Khan Academy to build fluency for solving tasks about rational and irrational numbers.
