As we begin our TABE testing, let's use this post to help each other. Think about EVERYTHING we've learned this year in math and English.
1) Create one (1) post stating and thoroughly explaining one concept or strategy we learned this year in math or English.
2) Engage in conversations with your classmates about their advice and posts. Ask for clarification on anything you may be unsure of. Use this forum to your benefit and check back periodically to answer and pose questions. I know everyone has been working so hard and will perform very well on your exams.
We have begun to learn about ratios and proportions and their applications in math. Create a post and respond to the following:
1) What is a ratio?
2) What is a proportion?
3) How are the two related?
Use your notes to help you respond. Feel free to include a hyperlink you think may be helpful for your classmates to view.
We have learned that when reading fiction, characters and their attributes, or traits are important to notice. A character's traits can be both physical(external), emotional (internal), or told to the reader through symbolic naming.
- Choose two (2) characters from the book that you are reading and describe both their internal and external traits based on the story.
- Comment and add to two (2) of your classmates' posts.
Over the past week, we have learned how to solve addition and subtraction word problems. We made charts that explained the math words associated with each operation. We also learned how to mark our word problems in order to better evaluate them.
- Create a post in which you create either an addition or a subtraction word problem.
- Try to solve two (2) of your classmates word problems. What are the math words that you would box?
We have learned that while reading, you may see questions centered around the reading strand word meaning and choice. These questions sometimes require the reader to find synonyms. Create one (1) post on the blog and respond to two (2) peers.
- How can you use synonyms to help you answer questions?
- What are some pairs of synonyms that you have learned?
We began analyzing how the Base 10 Number System uses place value to assign digits a value name within a number. Create one (1) post sharing what you know about place value and respond to two (2) of your classmates. ( Hint: use the red vocabulary words to help you begin writing.)
As we begin our year together, we all have goals, aspirations, and various personal reasons for coming to class.
Introduce yourself to the class and describe your goals.
Create one (1) post and respond to three (3) of your classmates.
