Mrs. Hara – 7th/8th Grade Math

In order to build higher-level thinking skills, it is important to ask questions that require more than a yes/no reply or one and only one possible answer.  Begin to ask your child more open-ended questions.  These are questions that could have multiple answers.  For example, rather than ask your child, “What is 7 x 8?”, ask them, “What are all the ways to make 56?”.  Another example could be, “How are 575 and 850 alike and different?”  Try it out!

Our MAP testing window will begin on Thursday, January 13th and continue until Friday, January 28th.  Students in grades K and 1 will be given 2 Math and 2 Reading tests.  Students in grades 2-5 will be administered 3 tests – Math, Language and Reading. 

Parents – Please see your child’s teacher for the exact dates that your child will be tested.  Make sure your child:  1)  Goes to bed early; 2) Eats a good breakfast; 3) Comes to school on time.  Be positive and remind your child to do their BEST!
