Sixth grade continues to work on finding the area and perimeter of quadrilaterals and triangles. They are working toward discovering the formula on their own for both.
Students are starting the Stock Market Game this week. Students are participating in a simulation where they are given an amount of $100,000 that they must try to figure out how best to invest their money. Students are working in groups of three students. Each team is charged with researching different companies and making suggestions for purchasing stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Students will make their first investments this Friday after reviewing their research as a group. All teams have group log in.

Homework this week: Students received a packet that reviews addition of mixed numbers, problem solving and graphing coordinate pairs. Students should complete all odd numbered problems except on the last page of coordinate pairs. On this page students will do the odd numbers 1-10, but complete all problems 11-14.
