Week of October 9th

This will be a fast week of school since there is no school on Monday, due to the holiday. Students did a good job on their Scientific Notation poster and now have basic knowledge of how the notation show look. We will be focussing on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing using the notations in Lesson 7. POW #3 is due on Wednesday and there will be a quiz over Lessons 6 and7 on Thursday.
