All math students will take the third and final Scantron Math test on April 8 and 9. We are hoping that students will demonstrate their mathematical growth over the year on this final test.
Pre-Algebra 6 students have begun to study about the circumference and area of circles. In addition, they are review important pieces of fractions, decimals, and percents that will help prepare them for seventh grade.
Pre-Algebra 7 students have started to study three-dimensional shapes, as well as review pre-algebra concepts in preparation for starting algebra next year.
Algebra 1A students are finishing their study of proportional concepts in Chapter 5. After the Scantron test, they will begin to study systems of equations in the final chapter of the algebra book.
