Today in math we had shortened class periods, due to the 1st half of the MCA Reading Test. 

In all classes I showed the students how to do two of the problems on the MCA REVIEW – Number and Operations packet and then we corrected.  See those problems: MCA REVIEW – Numbers and Operations Problems 19 & 14

During the rest of the class time, if any, the students had time to start on the MCA REVIEW 2011 – Algebra packet that is due on Thursday.
