On Thursday we started Unit 7. The two big ideas for this unit are exponents and using positive and negative numbers. This week we focused on exponents--exponential notation and powers of 10 were introduced. We also played a game called Exponent Ball--I am sending home a hard copy of the game sheet so that your child can play at home; it's especially a hit with the boys as the rules are similar to those of football. Next week we will be focusing on order of operations.
