TEST TOMORROW FOR CHALLENGE!!!

Challenge students reviewed their study guides today in class and tried to figure out how many hotdogs it takes to make curtains...hmm...that was pretty funny, huh?!? :-) Regular math kiddos worked hard to write rules and equations to figure out the best deals when visiting Wild World Amusement Park (Lesson 3.2). I tell ya, these sure are some savvy kiddos...they know how to recognize a GREAT deal when they calculate it! :-)

Reminders:

Don't forget on Monday, October 1st, all Red Robin locations will donate 50 cents from each burger ordered during lunch or dinner to Zachary Solomon (to help raise money for his $830,000 transplant surgery). Come and bring some friends for YUMMY food and a WONDERFUL cause! Let's help save Zach!!!

Students need to be sure to come to class prepared (every day) with their graph paper, pencil, book, and binder (and any homework or papers that need to be turned in). If students continue to arrive unprepared, a phone call will be made home and students will be issued a detention.

Today's homework:
Challenge: STUDY!!!
**Challenge's Test on Variables & Patterns is TOMORROW**
-Study Guides were handed out Wednesday, September 19th-

Regular: p. 56-58 #4-7 & #20 (NO SENTENCES)
**Test, Wednesday, October 3rd**
-Study Guides were handed out today and need to be finished by Monday-


Also: remember to...
~Redo any assignments necessary (you have one week to redo work in math)
~KEEP STUDYING THOSE MATH FACTS...you could have another timed test any day now :-) :-) :-)


Question of the Day: The thighbone or femur is the longest bone in the body. About 1/4 of a person's height is the length of the femur. If a person's femur measures 18 inches, about how many feet tall is the person?

Good luck my savvy students!!! Remember, the first student to answer the Question of the Day correctly will get a small prize from me the next day! :-)

Hi Mrs. Kohr! Its Nicole from 3rd hour. The answer for todays question is 6 feet tall.


18 x 4 = 72
72 divided by 12 = 6ft.

the answer to the question of the day is 72ft
i found this by taking 18 times 4
because 18 is 1/4 so you multply it by 4
