Matthew's Away!

Hey all!

I'm going to be away Wednesday-Friday of this week and I wanted to let you know (1) there won't be any blog posts or phone call posts and (2) give you an idea of what your kiddos will be doing.

On Monday we practiced writing mathematical expressions from words to get them ready for these next few days.

On Wednesday the kids will be working on step-by-step one- and two-step word problems.  You may see these come home that night.

Thursday will be spent practicing writing expressions from word problems--not actually solving them, just writing out the expression.

Friday will be the kicker--uniform motion word problems and percent word problems from the Algebra text.  They aren't the hardest, but they aren't easy either!

Look for the next post (from me) on Monday!  The kids should still continue to make posts :)
