Math 6/7

This afternoon we began with a quiet reading break and then worked to get through the bugs in our use of the XtraMath website.  Some students were more successful than others and we had our share of hardware issues (for example, laptops with charged batteries were suddenly shutting down).  This caused me some frustration, so I created a shortcut on each laptop to our class lists on the XtraMath site and then identified the four offending laptops and forwarded a memo to see about getting them serviced.  We also had a brief lesson on some key vocabulary terms in arithmetic and I reviewed the necessity for precision and accuracy in forming numerals when competing math exercises.  Tomorrow we'll try our first split instruction session.

There is no homework today, but students are always encouraged to practice their math facts. PLEASE REMEMBER THE BAND INSTRUMENT RENTAL SESSION TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL, STARTING AT 4 P.M..
