Skill of the Week: Equation Manipulation

The review just means we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Today  we continued our 3 week review for the final exam.  Each day in class after our warm-up, we have a brief lecture review and then work our assignment in class.  If your student doesn't seem to have much homework, do not fear.  They are working many math problems each day in class.  To see a copy of the review (with all assignments) that I handed the kids, click HERE.  Students will be turning in these assignments daily.

Homework: D: Equivalent Rational Numbers  P. 661 #5-28. E. Page 662  #3-51, multiples of 3.

Our Comprehensive, 2-Hour Final Exam will be on Wednesday, May 28th! 

Students will need to have 30 mastered objectives in Accelerated Math by the end of the third trimester.   This trimester, we will not be having the "three cut-offs."  It is very important to pace yourself and not get behind!!!  At this pace, the goal is to have:

24 mastered objective by Friday, May 9th!   No PE on Thursday or Friday for students with less than 20 mastered objectives!
