MAP Exercises and Homework

Good Morning Class,
Here are a couple of websites for you.  The links take you to a collection of reading and math activities that have been arranged by RIT scores.  Your instructions are to take your beginning of the year RIT score for reading and math and add ten points to that score.  That is the RIT range that I would like for you to experiment with.  Your homework is to complete activities at your +10 RIT level in reading for twenty minutes and in math for twenty minutes every night through next week.  We will be taking our MAP Tests sometime next week, so it is good to refresh your memories and take a look at some of the content that you may see on the MAP.

I will be absent tomorrow.  You have two periods of math and two periods of language arts tomorrow.  I would like for you to work on these exercises for two periods (one for math and one for ELA).  You will be assigned additional activities by the substitute for the other two periods.

As you work through these exercises, be sure to vary the activities nightly.  You can adjust the challenge level up or down depending on how you feel.  If the activities are too easy, try the next RIT level.  If they are too difficult you can always try a level down.  Make note of some activities that you enjoy.  We can talk about these when I return on Friday.

Here are the links:

Thank you and have a nice day!
