Room 15 math students have done a great job conquering their State Math Tests.  After three weeks of doing state test prep and calculator practice, we moved on last week to a unit on measurement. We quickly explored standard measure–then tossed it all out in favor of a more complete study of metric measure. I know, I know . . . they’ve been saying we’ll soon be using nothing but metrics for decades. I remember hearing that way back when I was in elementary school 35 years ago! None-the-less, our work this week will all be in the area of metric measure, and when we return from vacation, we’ll be applying our measuring skills to a unit on geometry. Here’s the homework for this week: Tuesday, March 16; Wednesday, March 17; Thursday, March 18.
