The Daily Platypus

Our math students have been working hard in preparation for round two of the State Test. This process involves immersion in the concepts appearing on the exam, discussions about test-taking strategies, and practice with test-approved calculators. During one of our practice tests last week, it became apparent that students still do not have a solid grasp on converting between fractions and decimals, so this week we’ll be reviewing those concepts heavily while also progressing with others. The kids return to the computer lab for their actual tests during the first week of March. Here’s the homework for this week: Tuesday, Feb. 23; Wednesday, Feb. 24; Thursday, Feb. 25; Friday, Feb. 26.
