Math Update

This week brings the end of Unit 7:  Exponents and Negative Numbers.  While we covered many skills in this unit, the two we focused heavily on were to write and interpret numerical expressions and use and evaluate parentheses in expressions.  There was also an introduction to adding and subtracting with positive and negative numbers, which to be honest, is always a little sketchy in 5th grade!  The kiddos had a positive attitude and worked hard! We begin Unit 8 on Monday of next week as we return to fractions.
