Wow, we are already in the second week of Freshman Connection!  Here is a listing of the objectives that we have covered each day:

Wednesday, July 7th--Objectives:  perform one-operation computations with whole numbers and decimals, use decimals to compute cost, calculate the average of a list of positive whole numbers, perform common conversions (hours to minutes), and perform calculations using a table

Also, students who missed the first day took the pre-test.

Thursday, July 8th--Objectives:   perform computations with whole numbers and decimals, use decimals to compute cost, perform common conversions (hours to minutes), calculate the average of a list of positive whole numbers, and perform conversions using a formula (grams to ounces)

On Thursday, students attended the White Sox game against the Los Angeles Angels.  It was a very hot day at the ballpark.  But, we had a nice time.

Monday, July 12th--Objectives:   recognize equivalent fractions and fractions in lowest terms, perform computations using fractions, convert between decimals and percents, perform conversions using a formula (grams to ounces), and perform common conversions (feet to inches)

On Tuesday afternoon, students will tour Elmhurst College.
