Students on the Blue Team worked incredibly hard this week learning about percents and mastering the skill of converting fractions to percents to decimals and back again! So proud of the hard work I am seeing out my students!

Next week we will use our skills with percents to begin calculating percent of a whole number. This will be our focus of study on Monday & Tuesday.

Our 3rd Nine Weeks Benchmark Exam will be given on Thursday, March 6th. Skills for this exam will include:
– setting up ratios

– converting fractions to percents to decimals
– calculating a percentage of a whole number

Classwork today is attached below. The students worked very diligently today to convert fractions to decimals to percents. We talked out each step of these conversions to ensure understanding. Any problems not completed together in class will need to be finished for homework.

We have a big measurement conversion quiz on Friday! Study those conversion charts!

Students studied the “Dr. Pepper” method of changing decimals to percents and percents to decimals today! Ask your student to show you how to use this method of working with percents & decimals!

We are having a major quiz on Friday on Conversions…..converting inches to feet to yards, cups to pints to quarts to gallons, ounces to pounds, minutes to hours, days to years. Your student was given a Conversion Chart way back on 2-10-2014 to utilize as we worked with conversions during our PowerUps (bellringers). A pop quiz on Monday revealed students had not committed these conversions to memory, so as part of our sixth grade math curriculum, we have put much focus on these conversions this week. Hopefully our quiz on Friday will reveal that this skill has been mastered!
