Math Test(s) Tomorrow!

In Math we reviewed our story problems for the test. Since 76% of the test are word problems, we worked through 7 problems in class looking for key words to find clues about what to do. of = multiply, each = division, equally usually means division, remaining means we need to subtract for the whole. When confused draw a bar model. I gave dozens of practice problems to prepare for the test tomorrow. Good luck to all!

• I think our/these two characters might be different because....
• Have you found the same thing with the character in your story?
