Practice your multiplication facts, use fractions; for example in cooking, double the recipe! Go shopping, estimate how much you are spending and how much change you should get back, measurement; figure out the family's car gas mileage for the week, the month the year...take a walk in your neighborhoood how many yards is it around the block, remember 1 giant step equals 1 yard, how many feet is that.Do these activities and do a little write up , hand in for extra credit!

Attention all math students

Homework is due on the due date not a day later. You get full credit for doing your homework. So what happens if you don't understand it? First look at your notes, then look in your textbook , look at the examples. work through the example problems then try the assigned problem. Still don't get it? Ask your parents. If you still can't get it bring in what you have tried and then ask me the next morning when you get to school. Show me what you did, ask me to re explain or re teach you. I want to know that you tried. You won't be penalized for this, but to come in with nothing that equals no credit!!!
