This week in math students learned how to divide decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000 and how to use long division when dividing decimals. Grade 6s also learned how to multiply by 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001, as well as how to calculate percent and use ratios. There will be a quiz next Wednesday. The quiz will cover fractions, decimals and, for grade 6s, percent and ratios.
In language and science students continued their project of creating a toy, device or product that transforms energy. They are also creating a commercial to sell their product.
