It seems as if we've been working with percents and decimals for such a long, long time! I guess we have, if you consider that before Christmas is when we started. :) They are such an important topic though, and worthy of the time spent on them.
This week, however, we draw to a close these two large units. After reading our story yesterday on Evariste Galois, today we began reviewing our decimal and percent skills using two practice tests -- one on decimals and the other on percents. The kids worked hard in our longer period today to finish the decimals practice test (for which they will earn stickers!) - and I'd like them to finish this work and have that done for Thursday's class (no class tomorrow). They also got a percent practice test that we started working on together in class. On that, I'd like them to finish solving #s 8-13 (the percent equation problems).
On Thursday, we'll have our review day and then Friday... test time! Check out the class docs for copies of both the decimals and percents practice tests.
