Our SAGE Benchmark Test this week for 6th graders is Ratio and Proportions A. 3rd – 5th is Number and Operations Fractions A. The tests contain 10 to 12 questions and are meant to be practice for our students. The benchmark tests are also a great way for our teachers to gather data that will help them know where students need extra help for future tests. Once students have completed the test they will be moving on the typing.com. This week students will also be taking a one minute typing assessment.
