8th graders are busy working in Chaptert 4, Real Numbers. After spending time working with prime & composite numbers, prime factorization, GCF, LCM, writing decimals as fractions & fractions as decimals; 8th graders are adding, subtracting, multiplying, & dividing fractions. The fractions are not just ordinary fractions, but both positive and negative fractions! It makes it more challenging, especially when they have to "borrow". They quizzed over it today, Dec 2. We will continue working in Chapter 4 and finish the chapter before Christmas break.
It was wonderful to see and talk with so many of you at conferences. I will continue to keep communication open after the Christmas break as the 8th graders take the Dowling Placement test and register for classes next year.
