Welcome Speedy Pencils,

2/7/2009

Here are some possibilities for studying for the proportions quiz. 

There are activities on ratios and proportions below.  There is also an activity on conversions.

The Math Continuum has a link to prepare for this quiz.  The last topic has game you can play.  If you can bring in a screen grab of a score greater than 500.  I'll give you bonus points on the quiz.

AAA Math gives you hundreds of problems to try and it will correct them on the spot.  The link below is directed towards ratios, but you can use it to find conversions as well.  It is good drill practice.  You can use the calculator on the computer if you left yours in school.

The Math Game Show doesn't address this quiz.  It still has useful skills on it though.

There are lots of different possibilities to review for this quiz.  Also there are the tutorials on the "computer links" page if you have missed something.  Don't be unprepared for this quiz.

Sincerely,
Mr. Sweeney
