Math
Complete and correct math booklet on units of length. Some students are still having difficulty changing from one unit to another. Remember:

x 10 (add one zero or move decimal one to the right)
x 100 (add two zeros or move decimal two to the right)
x 1000 (add three zeros or move decimal three to the right)

÷ 10 (take away one zero or move decimal one to the left)
÷ 100 (take away two zeros or move decimal two to the left)
÷ 1000 (take away two zeros or move decimal two to the left)

Solving problems by drawing diagrams or using tables also needs reviewing. 
Example 1:
If you walked 5 blocks east, two blocks north, 8 blocks west, then two blocks south, where would you be relative to where you started?

If a bullet train travels 431 km / h, how far would it travel in two and half hours?
