TESTS
We will be having timed math facts test each Friday for the rest of the year, except on Friday's during short weeks and/or ITBS testing week. The test of the week is provided in the homework pack and should be used as a practice test during the week. The goal is to complete at least 24 of the 25 math facts in 2 minutes. All students will have the opportunity to retest on math fact test if they wish to get their name on the Mastery board. If your child has not made a Mastery yet, they will. I know they can.
