7A Update

By the end of this weekend you should have finished The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread. Hopefully the ending and style of writing satisfied your reading preferences. There will be an in-class open-book test this week. It is not possible to study for (unless you have yet to complete the novel). In fact, we will examine how to study and prepare for a language test when the question is provided (how to make a good outline to prepare for a test). This will all be in class work, you will not be able to do this at home (sweet no homework!)

Math:

Remember that the Algebra test is on the 23rd in the afternoon. Tomorrow during the 5 core periods throughout the day we will look at various possibilities of questions, take up any concerns based on worksheets, textbook, and practice test questions.

Practice Questions:

331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. How many students were in each bus?

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 48. What are the smallest of these numbers?




Maria bought seven boxes. A week later half of all her boxes were destroyed in a fire. There are now only 22 boxes left. With how many did she start?






Sumalee won 40 super bouncy balls playing horseshoes at her school's game night. Later, she gave two to each of her friends. She only has 8 remaining. How many friends does she have?
