 Assignment: Fraction Vocabulary Quizizz!  (online only)

Due: Thursday, December 18

While I do not test vocabulary for math, I do let them know that I expect them to be familiar with the terms we go over in class. Ideally, they have these written into their Notes Book in their own definitions (which we create together in class) and can refer to them as needed. 

This assignment is a quick check of their fraction vocabulary. When I ask them to simplify a fraction, do they know what that means? It's a basic check of basic terms we use every day, but here is the rub: their chromebooks can only log on once, they may not change away from the tab (it will warn them, as have I) or they will not be able to continue. They should have no other references open and may not ask you for any assistance like, "So what does this mean?" 

It's the honor system. 

So what CAN you do?

Not much! ;-)

Make sure they are seated in a comfortable, uninterrupted space. There are only 10 questions, all multiple choice, so make sure they have time to complete this; it absolutely should not take 10 minutes. They may reference their Notes Book, but only their Notes Book, and afterwards they should write any terms they missed into their Notes Book for future reference, with your assistance if needed.

So what else you CAN do is go over it with them after they are done and make sure they do not have any questions about the vocabulary. We will not be adding or subtracting until after winter break, but we will get started immediately after!

And prompt them to get in all of their math assignments before break so they can have a stress-free vacation! No Kyle, no Sven, just time for them to appreciate all that they have done and being caught up in math. It's a goal worth reaching.
