Book Talk Art

RPFF

This is the film being shown this Saturday at the RPFF, this Saturday morning.  If there are still tickets available, I would encourage you to attend.


Here is a group shot from the Daniels Spectrum lobby, where the screenings took place:


ETT: Parent/Guardian info


Math:  jellybeans and Math problems

We will wrap up this Measurement unit soon and then close out the theme of working with decimals by a refresher on rounding decimals and multiplying by powers of ten.  This will happen after this week's test.  


I had forgotten to post 2 sample questions from the Homework sheet.  I posted them yesterday and walked through the answers.  These particular ones were not assigned.


Here is another homework question, which a number of students found difficult to begin.  It was number 6.  I think the language was tricky, so I broke down the phrase how many times for them.  The main thing to understand is that Milly wanted more than the 100g, which sells for $2.49.  I used this price, based on the licorice question, but thought it would make more sense if we used a "real life" scenario.)
