!SUPER STUDY SKILLS!

We hope thet these super study skills will help you with testing.
1.It is best to review the material right after class when it's still fresh in your memory.

2.Don't try to do all your studying the night before the test, instead space out your studying, review class materials at least several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time.

3.Have all of your study material in front of you: lecture notes, course textbooks, study guides and any other materials.

4.Start out by studying the most important facts.

5.Take notes and write down the summary of the important ideas as you read through your study material.

6.Take short breaks frequently, your memory retains the information that you study at the beging and the end than what you study in the middle.

7.Don't study later than you usually go to sleep. You may fall asleep or be tempted to go to sleep, instead try studying in the early afternoon or early evening.If you are a morning person try studying in the morning.

We hope these SUPER STUDY SKILLS help you on testing or any other things.

Word Problems


This year in Mrs. Waites' class we have talked about WORD PROBLEMS.Word problems are like problems written out that deal with math. Some word problems spell out numbers. Some are predictions, like how many jelly beans do you think are in the candy jar? Hey let's look at two word problems and let you answer them!

If Drake bought twelve toys and got eight more toys as a gift, how many toys does he have in all?

If Meg has twenty stamps and she gave eight to Jessica, how many would she have left?

Can you answer these questions more than one way? Can you use different types of math methods? Name some.
GA GPS- M3P1 Students will solve problems.
