Math Tasks and Project Timeline: READ ME

As we move towards the end of term one and throughout the end of the year, we will be expecting more and more independent thought and work from our students. Today, all MST students were given a packet with ten tasks that will be completed over the course of the next three weeks. The tasks require students to use their knowledge of decimals, percents, and fractions to solve problems. In their packet, the students were given a checklist for each task and a rubric explaining the level of thought and quality expected for their completed task. We expect that the students not only arrive at an appropriate solution to each task using mathematical models and problem solving strategies, but that they are also able to defend and justify their thought process and solution.

Some students who felt confident in their prior knowledge of decimals, fractions, and percents began task one today. Mrs. Cannon gave a mimi-lesson on decimals, fractions, and percents for those students who did not feel comfortable with task one. They will begin task one on Thursday or Friday of this week depending on their level of comfort.

If you want to review how to represent fractions, decimals, and percents on a number line, please review the following links:

Check your knowledge. Do you get it?


Homework tonight is aid memory. You can just tell me something that you learned from one of the above links or tell me something that you learned about your time period!

Reminder: Project Timeline is due on FRIDAY. You will have about 45 minutes on Thursday to complete your project with your partner. Make sure you are ready!
