Fri 8 Oct

GPS:  M6N1--Fraction/decimal/percent operations
WotD:   tax
HW:  Enjoy your vacation!!

Today we will take a unit test covering the past three weeks' material.

Brain juice--Here is a very typical proportion problem like we will be working on in the near future--We want to measure the height of the flagpole in front of KRMS, but we don't want to climb up the pole.  We know that it casts a shadow that is 8 feet long.  We also know that at the same time, Briana, who is 50 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 20 inches long.  How tall is the flagpole?
