A math test?!? How exciting!

The first math test of the year is finally here (I can hear all of you cheering through the screens because you're so excited about it!) As you're preparing for this test, here's a reminder of the different things we've talked about during this chapter which could appear on the test:

- Line plots and mystery line plots
- Landmarks (mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range)
-Line graphs
-Bar graphs
-Circle graphs
-Step graphs
-Persuasive graphs
-Area and perimeter


I'm often asked about the best way to study for a math test. It's different than studying for a history or a science test, where you can review facts. The best way to study for a math test is to find old problems that we've done together, write them again on a separate piece of paper, and see if you can do them again on your own. You can also ask mom, dad, a friend, or an older brother or sister to make up new problems for you (after you show them what you're working on, of course!) The best way to learn math is by doing it!
