Welcome to the Second Session of Middle School Math Basics. On this blog you you find a general summary of topics we are covering and some resources for review or to explore a topic further.  On day one of our session we got to know each other a bit and settled into some routines. We played some card games to collect data for future math problems.  On day students began work on "Skittles Math" a packet that reviews place value, fractions and percentages and students began a packet that tests how well they mastered material from the first session and/or guides placement for small group lessons if students are new to the class in this second session. Today, day 3, we began a review of division as we continued to work on the work mentioned above and took a crack at a math riddle.  LONG DIVISION MATH RIDDLE:

Order of Operations  and  Exponential Notation  and  Word Problems! A great resource for more practice:   Math-Drills Order of Operations printable worksheets ORGANIZE YOUR WORD PROBLEMS: 1) List and label all numbers 2) Write a filling blank sentence answer for each question asked in the problem. 3) Write equations to solve each question asked, using your listed numbers and the sentences you wrote as a guide to what needs to be done. 4) Fill in the blanks on each sentence you wrote to answer each question asked in the problem.
