MATH STUDY GUIDE

This is the study guide - your child will have examples and explanations written on the copy they are bringing home.

The test is the is same exact sheet the new problems written in for the students to work out.

These fractions are key to the next step in our study - word problems. Students need to know how to do these things in isolation very well, so they may do them in context with multi-step problems in the very near future.

Please email me any questions or concerns.
