collected by student MS0708
What is the S.R.I test?
Well the S.R.I test stands for Student Reading Inventory. This test tells you what class you're going to be in. If .W.you score high on the S.R.I test like an 1056, you're an 9.0 student like me.
Here are the best tips and tricks:
*Don't give up on yourself or the test. Also don't pressure yourself.
*When you make a mistake try to figure it out. DON'T get confused.
*Use the hamburger method to solve complicated S.R.I problems.
*Don't sit by your friends so you won't get distracted.
*Do brain gyms before the S.R.I test.
*Believe in yourself. Stay focus.
*Use the Answer Checking Strategies.
*Also use Problem Solving Strategies to figure out the problem.
*Read it twice, check your and reread and check again.
*Choose a test topic you're interested in, instead of choosing a topic you don't understand.
*Use steps for taking S.R.I test.
1. Read the question.
2. Read the passage.
3. Read the question again.
4. Read all of the answers.
5. Choose the best answer.
6. Read the passage again.
7. Read the question again.
8. Check your answer.
Clearly, I have told you everything. I gave you eight steps. I gave you details. I told you the topic. Use this tips and get the highest score you can on your next SRI test.

Unit 4 Math Test
Here are the GLCE's (What are GLCE's?) for our Every Day Math Unit 4 on Division. Use these as a guide to study for our test on Wed 12/19 (see We Have a Class Calendar for other test). Remember if you find a good online resources (game, video, or website) post in the comments to share with other classmates.
N.MR.05.02 Relate division of whole numbers with remainders to the form a = bq + r, e.g., 34 ÷ 5 =6 r 4, so 5 * 6 + 4 = 30; note remainder 4 is less than divisor.
M.MR.05.03 Write mathematical statements involving division for given situation.
N.MR.05.05 Solve applied problems involving multiplication and division of whole numbers
N.FL.05.06 Divide fluently up to a four-digit number by a two-digit number.
N.ME.05.10 Understand a fraction as a statement of division, e.g., 2 ÷ 3 = 2/3, represent simple
fractions with pictures.

Unit 3 Math Test
Here are the GLCE's (What are GLCE's?) for our Every Day Math Unit 3 Geometry Unit. Use these as a guide to study for our test on Tues 12/4 (see We Have a Class Calendar for other test). Remember if you find a good online resources (game, video, or website) post in the comments to share with other classmates.
G.GS.05.02 Measure angles with a protractor and classify them as acute, right, obtuse or straight.
G.GS.05.03 Identify and name angles on a straight line and vertical angles.
G.GS.05.04 Find unknown angles in problems involving angles on a straight line, angles surrounding a point and vertical angles.
G.GS.05.05 Know that angles on a straight line add up to 180° and angles surrounding a point add up to 360°; justify informally by “surrounding” a point with angles.
G.GS.05.06 Understand why the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180° and the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°, and use these properties to solve problems.
G.GS.05.07 Find unknown angles and sides using the properties of: triangles, including right,
isosceles, equilateral triangles; parallelograms, including rectangles and rhombuses; and
trapezoids.

Student Paper: How To Use The Hamburger Method
If, you ever get stuck on a math problem, I got some news for you. My advice is called The Hamburger Method. I’m hungry just thinking about it. If you want an A+ listen up. This is going to be great! Here’s a sample problem I can use to show you how. Let’s Sam has 10 apples and 5 buckets. How many how many apples go in each bucket equally?
First, what comes on top of every good burger? That’s right the top bun. This bun means "What do I need to find?” When that question is asked you should highlight, underline, circle or box keywords. Example: How many apples go in each bucket? (I underline many, apples, and each.)
Second, is that crunchy and green lettuce, Mmmm. “Reread and find the givens” is what that’s all about. Figure out what do I already know? Look at the sample problem and see what it tells you. Example: Sam has 10 apples and 5 buckets is what I know.
Third, is that red skinny tomato. That red tomato means “Plan and strategize.” Choose a problem solving strategy. The strategies are look for a pattern, make a chart, draw a picture, guess and check, work backwards, solve a simpler problem, or act it out. Example: I have to choose a strategy. It will be draw a picture.
Next, is the best part of a hamburger, that juicy burger. The burger is solve and check. Here we do the math and use answer checking strategies like estimate reasonableness, plug in original equation, and fact triangle check. Example: Draw 5 buckets, split all the apples into each bucket. To check your answer you can do 5*2=10.
Lastly on that bottom bun. This holds the burger together. Now you “Restate” your answer, in a complete sentence. Example: Only 2 apples will fit in each bucket equally.
In conclusion, I have told you that tasty Hamburger Method. I explained every step. The steps were the top bun, the lettuce, the tomato, the burger and the bottom bun. This is a great method and easy to remember. Use the Hamburger Method for an A+.

Student Paper: A New Kid In A New School
This paper was written by TW0708 and edited by TD0708
After my first day of school I was all right but my first day of school was a challenge. I thought people were going to call me a geek because of my glasses. I was hoping other kids would have glasses too. I didn't want to be the only one with glasses.
First when I got in the classes. I saw people who were wearing glasses other than me. I was happy to see that. The day was starting off well. I knew that the class would not call me a geek. Then I said who is my teacher. It was Mr.Ambrose the most funniest teacher a kid could ever have. He makes us laugh,he plays math games. The games are fun too, they are the funniest games ever. I think I'm going to like this school year.
Mr.Ambrose is a great teacher, he teaches great lessons on math ,prime numbers ,arrays ,and reading too. He teaches better lessons then my old school. I have some friends in this class and they are funny,that makes the classfun. The teacher is my friend and so is the class. They are fun to learn with. One more thing the class is the best class ever. They help each other with school work and to help each other with work we need help with. My teacher Mr.Ambrose is the best teacher ever and a very,very, good person.

Student Paper: Why Should You Use the Writing Process
This piece was written by student MP0708 in school and was published in order to share tips on how to write a prompt for the MEAP.
Whenever I do a prompt, I use the steps of the writing process. It may take long but its all worth it at the end because I have a great paper. You will have to follow these steps.
Whenever I do a prompt, I use the steps of the writing process. It may take long but its all worth it at the end because I have a great paper. You will have to follow these steps.
To begin, I would like to tell you why you would want to use the writing process. It helps you understand what you are writing about. It also help you answer the question in your writing prompt. Another reason you won't get off of topic. These are the reasons you would want to use the writing process.
First you would want read the prompt. You would want to know what your writing about. Then you should do fatp f stand for form, a means audience t stand for topic,and p stand for purpose. If you have one read the checklist make one if you don't have one or ask your teacher to make one for you. Alway set goals like focus correction errors.
Next you always need to brainstorm because you can get all your idea's out. You can always do five w's and one h which stands for who,what,when,where,why,and how. After do a web it can be very helpful it gives a little information so you can write on your draft. Also do an outline to show how to set it up.
Third is your draft you can make mistakes but not on your final copy. It is alway important to revise and edit it is mostly good to let a friend or partner to do it for you because you may not notice your mistakes. Also you have your final copy. Don't forget starter,transition,and conclusion words.
Truly now you see how the writing process works. Now your paper will turn out perfect. If you want a perfect paper follow these steps. It will help you through all your writing prompts.
