CMT packet (of dooooooom!)

DISCLAIMER:  I know that this packet is big and evil and you all hate me for giving it to you!  BUT, please know I wouldn't give it to you if it wasn't worthwhile!

Your assignments for the next week and a half are as follows:

Please feel free to do more if you want.  I suggest working on strand 9 if you have extra time OR strands 10, 11, 12, 15 & 21.  Remember that everything needs to be done midweek next week, so extra effort early will pay off!

Day two of CMT Prep!

Tonight's homework is to complete strands 3 and 6.  They should go pretty well, but here are some pointers for strand three from MathIsFun:

Fractions, Decimals and Percents

Converting Decimals to Fractions

Converting Fractions to Decimals

Converting Decimals to Percents

Converting Fractions to Percents

Equivalent Fractions

Converting between Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

Good luck on tonight's HW!  Feel free to work on strands 10, 11, 12, 15 and/or 21 if you finish tonight's hw and have some time to do more work!

CMT prep!

Welcome back everyone!  Are you as tired as I am?

We started working on our CMT packets today and your homework tonight is to complete Strands 1 and 2.  Strand one is about place value and strand two covers pictorial representations of numbers.

As you already know, we've missed quite a few days of school, so we are a little bit behind in our CMT prep and I strongly encourage you to get some extra work done if you can!  Though tonight's homework is Strands 1 and 2, I encourage you to complete strands 12, 15 and 21 if you have the time to get more work done.  After that, please work on strands 10 and 11 if you can.  Otherwise, the schedule is as follows:

Mon “F” Day February 25th	Tues “A” Day February 26th	Wed “B” Day February 27th	Thurs “C” Day February 28th	Fri “D” Day March 1st
Strands 1 and 2 45 problems	Strands 3 and 6 34 problems	Strand 4 47 problems	Strand 7 46 problems	Strand 8 24 problems
Mon “E” Day March 4th	Tues “F” Day March 5th	Wed “A” Day March 6th	Thurs “B” Day March 7th	Fri “C” Day March 8th

I know that this seems like a whole lot of work, but we’ve already accomplished so much in just one day!  As I promised in class, I have planned our work so that the nights when we have a lot of homework to complete, the problems are easier.  The tougher strands and problems are on nights with less work.  Additionally, we will complete the majority of the packet THIS week since the CMTs officially start next week and I don’t want you to have too much homework that week.  J

I decided to post the homework for these two weeks because I understand that you often have busy evenings and might need to plan accordingly.  I will provide you with class time every day to help you complete these assignments, usually about 15-20 minutes.  You might feel the need to go ahead a bit and that is fine by me as long as you feel confident with the material and continue to work during our class work time.  If you fall behind because of an absence or being unable to complete the homework due to your schedule, that is okay.  However, the entire packet must be completed by the start of your math class on Friday, March 9^th.  If, for some reason (snow day, schedule change, me changing my mind, whatever) that date changes, I will let you know, but for now, assume that March 9^th is the due date!

It seemed like everyone worked well today and felt pretty good about the material.  I promise you that this won’t be as awful and scary as you think it is and you will do a great job.  Ask questions, double check your work and do your best every day!  I can’t wait to put all those 100’s in the 100’s box!!!

Keep up the great work and let’s do some incredible work!

Packet Corrected!!!

Nice job everyone!  Make sure that you fill out the green sheet tonight.  If you aren't finished with the packet yet due to being out sick (or just not doing your work  :{ ) please complete the packet tonight and see me at lunch to correct your packet.

Just an FYI:

• There were 291 problems in the packet
• The packet was 63 pages long
• There were 29 strands
• Madalyn P got a 100!  (Let me know if you did too!)

I am tremendously impressed with all of your hard work over the last two weeks!  Keep up that excellent math!
