Practice, practice, practice….

The past few days we’ve been practicing our math skills on paper in testing format. Here are the main points:

* write out all information

* use your strategies (Giant G, 3 rule, multiplication helps, etc.)

* while reading the word problems…”get the movie going in your head”…

* put on your “blinders” to distractions

* use your Math Chart

* THINK

It sound simple, but just following these simple steps will help you when testing.

Tomorrow we’ll be in the computer lab learning something new. Wednesday we’ll review our benchmark 1 and 2. Then Thursday is our LAST MATH BENCHMARK. I’m excited to see what all you’ve learned from the last benchmark. The next step will be the official TAKS math test. We’re almost there!
