Extra Practice Website Added

I have added a link to the right above the online textbook link.  This website (Math-Aids) is a great resource for finding extra practice problems from home (I often use these for my extra practice available in the back of the room).  You can click on any skill, and the website will generate different worksheets with answers included.  Enjoy!

Test Alert!

There will be a 50 point test on fractions on Friday, October 4th.  A study guide will be given the day before.
