Reflection Component:

6th Graders did much better on adding/subtracting decimals. But not so well on multiplying and dividing them. We will be hitting those concepts more in the bell ringers and spiraling back with worksheets. 8th Graders will continue to spiral back over the various integer operations. They need more practice on integer rules, comparing integers, and working with absolute value.
