Strand Number Sense and Numeration: Factors and Exponents.
Test: Friday, November 29th, 2019
If you choose Test A: you will need to complete Test B, before Winter Break. If you choose Test C, you do not need to do Test B at all. You will have a conference with me to choose the best test for your learning.
Who is Test A for? Students who need some more time and support understanding concepts and skills.
Who is Test B for? Students who are ready and can use the unit skills and concepts with good explanation and consistency.
Who is Test C for? Students who have displayed consistent work in excellent quiz results, can teach the concepts with great accuracy and are ready for a challenge.
What’s on the test? Test B?
