February 22 to 26

"These plans are based on the best prediction of what we hope to accomplish for this week. Please note, that these plans will vary from time to time because of various interruptions (fire drills, assemblies, etc.) and that we want to make sure students master material, before we move on to new concepts."

Note: I have created a survival skills review with the use of a math generator. The skills that are on it relate to relative skills for RIT levels below 210. The values can be changed at a moments notice. Therefore, we will practice with it until most have mastered the skills. A new set of RIT level skills will then be created. The first of these is referred to as P1.
