7th Graders: How to Study for the Unit 2 Test

Good Morning Parents and Students,

I have decided to start a blog for the class to help the parents that are struggling with Edline. My goal is to use this blog as a one-stop spot to get a better idea of what we are doing in class and how you can support your child. I want my classroom to be transparent as if you were sitting in the classroom with your child. If I make grammatical errors or misspell words, it is more than likely due to me rushing.

How to Study for the Unit 2 Test:

1. Review your notes from your math notebook.

2. Work extra practice problems like the ones found here (multiplying and dividing integers), and here (lots of worksheets with answers to check) On the second link, you can also click dividing fractions and decimals or any of the links on the side that is fractions and decimals.

3. Watch tutorial videos online and work through the problems with them:

Multiplying Fractions: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-seventh-grade-math/cc-7th-fractions-decimals/cc-7th-mult-div-frac/v/multiplying-negative-and-positive-fractions

Multiplying Mixed Numbers: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/fractions-pre-alg/mixed-number-mult-div-pre-alg/v/multiplying-mixed-numbers

Dividing Fractions: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-seventh-grade-math/cc-7th-fractions-decimals/cc-7th-mult-div-frac/v/examples-of-dividing-negative-fractions

Multiplying Decimal WP: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-arithmetic-operations/cc-6th-multiplying-decimals/v/mulitplyling-decimals-3

Great Resource for Extra Practice: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-arithmetic-operations

Reminder: We are only looking at rational numbers (no exponents).

As you can tell I used Khan Academy for all of these. Khan Academy is a great resource to give students the ability to practice problems with a saftey net (the hints).

4. Come in for a last minute study session Monday morning at 7:30.

The students have been working really hard on this unit. If they take their time and remember the rules, they will do great on this test.


Have a Great Day,
Mrs. Gilliam
