Period B - Today we reviewed a problem solving model and comleted our skills assessment.  Please remember to hand it in tomorrow if you haven't done so already. NO HOMEWORK otherwise.

Period E - Today we started by completing our "picture problem" and reviewing a problem solving strategy.  We then started Unit 1 - Rational Numbers. Today's assignement was a two-sided worksheet which reviewed converting fractions to decimals.  Tomorrow we will start on comparing and ordering rational numbers.  Here is the link to a video with some helpful strategies and vocabulary that you can review before we get started.   His trick for comparing fractions may be useful for some of you.
