TAKS Prep

As you know we are on that downhill slide to our state testing. The Math TAKS test is on April 4th which is only 7 days away!

Yesterday we spent time going over the benchmark that we took last week in class after I asked the students to let me know what items they were still struggling with. With those items, I created a bar graph of what items students were asking about and the highest ones were:

1. Slope and Y-Intercept
2. Fractions
3. Proportions
4. Pythagorean Theorem
5. Ratios
6. Equations
7. Dilations and Scale Factor
8. Percent Increase and Decrease
9. Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying and Dividing with Positive and Negative Numbers
10. Probability

This gives me input on what we still need to focus on in class (although all of this has been covered again since originally introduced). If you would please have your child work on these at home as well I know that they will have the best chance possible.

The last dates for TAKS tutoring are:
March 24th (with Mrs. Forman or Mrs. Batten as I will be at a funeral)
March 29th and
March 31st
