Math Contest Information

Hello Jackie

I am helping organize a free online math contest for Front Range schools.

Would you be able to forward the information below to K-8 teachers in your district?

—

Last year, students in Front Range answered 11471 math questions in a week-long competition hosted by Sumdog.com.

Another exciting contest is due to start on Friday November 8th. It's completely free to take part and there are prizes to be won!

Students compete by playing the free math games on the Sumdog website.

To join in the fun, visit: http://www.sumdog.com/regions?ci=a

Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

Many thanks for your help!

Best wishes

From Stacy Winsberg: Grading CMP on 5th Grade Report Card

If you are using this 6th grade report card for your fifth grade students, can you answer a few questions for me?  Do you still put grades on the 5th grade report card?  If we can't input grades in IC, then there would be no grades in the system for math. Also, what areas under Number Sense would you grade from using Prime Time?  It doesn't seem to fit into the 3 categories on the 6th grade report card.

Thank you in advance!

Stacy
