Math
Next week we will be learning how to add and subtract decimals visually and symbolically. To make this concept authentic, students will participate in a checkbook activity where they need to write checks and balance their register to gain clues. They will use these clues to crack a code! In addition, they will be 'purchasing' items, calculating their bill, and figuring out the change they would receive.
