All students have been given their user names and passwords as of today.
8th graders can practice on F.13 , F.14 and D.1 for additional help for our current topics
7th graders can practice on D.3 and D.4 for additional help.

Be sure you are logged into your correct grade level.

You can also check out order of operations, evaluating expressions and work with decimals

8th graders State Assessment Practice:

Today, the 8th graders in my 3rd hour class were given a list of practice topics to help prepare them for the state assessment.  They are being asked to do 50 problems per week for the next 11 weeks.  The points they accumulate will be recorded as a test result in the 4th quarter.  I have already checked online and am excited to see that many of my students have already tackled some of the problems and even MASTERED some concepts.  WAY TO GO!!!!  I will be watching!
