SPRING BACKGROUND

Sunday, December 13, 2009

Please check your student's grades. There are several students missing a lot of work. I have given them their missing work, but I need your help to have them get it done. I give plenty of time to finish assignments in classs, but not all students are finishing their work. If it is not finished in class, it is homework and needs to be completed. We are also missing several calculators. If one of those have accidentally found their way home, will you please return them ASAP. Thanks for all your support.

Remember to use your divisibilty rules

Divisibility Tests Example
A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. 168 is divisible by 2 since the last digit is 8.
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. 168 is divisible by 3 since the sum of the digits is 15 (1+6+8=15), and 15 is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4. 316 is divisible by 4 since 16 is divisible by 4.
A number is divisible by 5 if the last digit is either 0 or 5. 195 is divisible by 5 since the last digit is 5.
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 AND it is divisible by 3. 168 is divisible by 6 since it is divisible by 2 AND it is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8. 7,120 is divisible by 8 since 120 is divisible by 8.
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9. 549 is divisible by 9 since the sum of the digits is 18 (5+4+9=18), and 18 is divisible by 9.
A number is divisible by 10 if the last digit is 0. 1,470 is divisible by 10 since the last digit is 0.
