Put your notes away and work 10 problems in your Math Challenge Notebook using these links.  As you work through these problems, mark your answers correct or incorrect.  If an answer is incorrect, analyze it and correct it.  After completing 10 problems, give yourself a score (+____ out of 10).  Go back and study and practice with the previous links, if you need to.

*Continue studying and practicing until you are ready to practice ratios in an Accelerated Math Exercise and/or Practice.  When you are ready, sign your name and this math skill on our Math Challenge Mastery Sheet to let me know you are ready to practice this math skill in A.M. 

Congratulations on your excellent learning, personal responsibility and motivation.  I am proud of you!  Keep up the good work!
