6th grade project due Friday January 18th, 2013

In order for us to review what we learned during our first semester, we are going to complete a project which will be due the following Friday (January 18th).

The project:

• You will have 30 exercises in total (the first 10 exercises you will find them in this post).
• You must work on white paper.
• Remember to work with PENCIL.
• Do not print the exercises, you must write them down. (We always copy instructions)
• I will be grading how neat, clean, organized your project is, along with your work (process and answers)
• You may use colors to underline ONLY the number of the exercise.

I'm confident you will all do great :)
