Begin with the main page, then check out the supplies needed for this year! There are quite a few tidbits of information on this site. You will need to bookmark this as I will refer to the information on it all year.

I am looking forward to a terrific year with all of you, and remember the goal of this year is to build your math confidence and provide you with many fun, challenging, and unique activites.

Our focus for the first semester will cover the following standards which I have summed up for you. (Refer to the link on the MAIN page for more details on the Standards):

Add subtract multiply and divide whole numbers decimals and fractions

Become familiar with measures of central tendency (averaging) and use graphing techniques to determine mean median and mode.

Use written explanations to communicate mathematically in problems of the week, math journals, and group work (see POW link)

Use mathematical vocabulary correctly (see vocab link)

Use manipulatives to explore the above concepts so that mathematics is modeled in a concrete form.

Continue through the tabs and you will find supplies, grading policies, homework policies, and all kinds of great links to make this year with me a positive learning experience with worthwhile tasks and interesting strategies.

THANKS,

Mrs. Green
