It's been a while!

Hello again :)

I hope you have all had a WONDERFUL Spring Break and you return rejuvenated and ready to take on the last marking period of your 6th grade year. Time is quickly passing by!

We'll be continuing with the Data About Us unit when we return. We'll explore in detail the summary statistics we use to analyze data sets. Before break, we started collecting some data about YOU and soon we'll be able to determine what's "typical" in 6th grade!

See you soon!

* A hard copy was also passed out in class last week.

In addition to the review in class, you can use the resources in your binder to prepare for the assessment. Daily PODs and past assessments are a great question bank!
