8th Grade Math: Today in 8th grade math students received their graded chapter 3 tests. We practiced finding percents by having students calculate their percent score on the test. Upon completing this activity it became very clear that students were VERY weak in their long division skills. We will spend class time for the next week focusing on long division practice and we will complete a test to demonstrate proficiency in this area on Friday.
