'News and Noteworthy'
I will be posting assignments on Monday through the "Announcements" tab in Canvas. The assignment(s) can be done throughout the week as is best for you and your family. Please note more specific directions below depending on the math class you are in.
I have embedded my newsletter into the Canvas homepage and you can reach out to me for help via my email address as noted below OR through Canvas, Monday - Friday, 8 am - 4 pm. I will be checking both of those periodically throughout the day.
Please stay home if at all possible and be safe.

General Math
I have posted problems in Prodigy. You should try to play a minimum of one hour during the week. The problems are embedded in the program as you play. Remember, there is a great deal of data being collected as you play that allows me to know your strengths and weaknesses. One of the reports also tells me which days you are playing. Good luck, enjoy, and stay safe.
Please continue to reach out to me for help via Canvas or directly emailing me at kmcqueen@paulding.k12.ga.us
Accelerated Math
Homework for this week is posted in Canvas announcements.
Some students did not complete the quizizz.com assignment from last week and have contacted me wanting to complete it. I have reassigned it. Use the following code once you log onto joinmyquiz.com....196241.
*Remember, I attached a cheat sheet on integer operations to last weeks announcements for you to reference, if needed.
NEW assignments this week...ONLY play Prodigy. I know that breaks your heart. I have embedded additional 7th grade problems so you have practice on proportions and proportional relationships.
