Today is the last day of our Business Math block and then we are off for a much-needed week off for parent conferences and Thanksgiving.
I love giving block tests, not only because it helps to build my reputation as a strict, hard teacher, but also because I think block tests create a really valuable exercise. I think it is so healthy for students to have a chance to look back over the work of the block and see what they have learned and accomplished. I try to create tests that will inspire this positive experience, so the problems are not too challenging.
I thought it might be interesting for my readers to see what a typical block test looks like, so I’ve attached one to the link below. Enjoy.

Your block on Business Maths sounds wonderful.
