Math Fraction Review

Before Wednesday, February 22nd, please complete the following fraction review quiz here.

Please post the number of the question that you felt was the most challenging and explain why it was tricky.  What was one idea that you learned from taking this test?

Remember, there's no school for students on Monday or Tuesday, so think about what that means for you: when are you going to do this, so that it is completed before Wednesday at 8:30?  Hmmm.  Personal organization, accountability, and self discipline.
