May 14, 2013

This week and next Monday is all about reviewing this year content, and practicing what we have learned for the EOG. Please look for math preps that have “released” labeled on each page for official questions from the EOG makers (#’s1-44). Text book practice EOG’s are labeled “Practice A, B, & C).

This week’s Math agenda:
I have altered the schedule a bit, and I have omitted the last test from Mr. Kim on measurement as I want to prepare all students for the End of Grade tests. During class we will be preparing by reviewing & playing EOG prep games.
5/13 – EOG Prep 3 Check; Start EOG Practice A #’s 1-29 (this is to be completed with all work shown using a problem solving strategy such as “PISA”)
5/14 – EOG Practice A Check; HW: Practice A 3 #’s 30-59 (this is to be completed with all of their work shown using a problem solving strategy such as “PISA”)

Students should have EOG Prep Practices to use as study guides! Please make sure students are showing their work!
