8th graders are completing Chapter 4, Real Numbers, next week with a 2 day chapter test. This chapter covered a lot of different concepts--everything from prime factorization to addition, subtraction, multiplication, & division of fractions to the Pythagorean Theorem. By taking the test over 2 days, students have to time to work carefully and are not rushed to finish. 8th graders will be able to leave next Wednesday and enjoy the Christmas break with no Math to worry about. Even with some many concepts the 8th graders have been doing a good job understanding and mastering the problems.
After Christmas break 8th graders will begin Chapter 5, Application of Proportions. You and they can look forward to rates, ratios, and proportions in the new year.
Have a blessed Christmas season and enjoy family and friends.
