 Ratios & Proportions Unit Begins

This week we are starting our Ratios & Proportions Unit! 
 
Some of the concepts taught in 7th grade math have changed.
 
During this unit,  we will be "jumping" around a bit in the textbook.
 
In class, we will be using parts of Chapter 5, 6, 7 in the Pre-Algebra textbook.
 
We will also be supplementing with additional materials/resources for some concepts not covered by our Pre-Algebra textbook.  


Students NEED to BRING a CALCULATOR to class EVERYDAY!!!
