Pre-Algebra (December 14 - 18)
*Real Number Unit Test --> December 16 or December 17 (depends on which day 
you have Pre-Algebra)

This week we will assess the students on their knowledge of converting, 
ordering, comparing, and graphing rational numbers (focus on fractions and 
decimals).  We will also be preparing for the upcoming test on the REAL 
NUMBERS UNIT.  Students can expect to see a study guide as well as a practice 
ORQ to prepare for the test.

Accelerated Pre-Algebra (December 14 - December 18)

This week we will assess the student's understanding of the laws of exponents 
and scientific notation.  A pre-assessment will be given on Monday to see 
what topics students are proficient with and what topics need to be covered 
more thoroughly.  Students will have homework due on Wednesday. This homework 
includes practice problems relating to the laws of exponents and scientific 
notation.  If students are already proficient on either of these two topics 
they will be given an alternate assignment that extends or applies the laws 
of exponents or scientific notation.  A learning check/practic quiz will be 
given on Friday to assess where students stand on these topics.  

**QUIZ:  EXPONENTS and SCIENTIC NOTATION on Tuesday Jan. 5th
