Math (Grade Level and Accelerated)
We are entering the homestretch for the end of the semester.
In Grade level, we will be having a unit test over solving equations, distributive property, and combining like terms. This test will be given on 15 December. You will notice a lot of review problems in their HW utilizing rational operations with decimals and fractions. This is deliberate, as these skills, learned primarily in prior grades, form the foundation for the rest of the year. In Advanced, we continue to work with Exponential Growth and Decay. Our last evaluation of the year should occur on 16 December. In both classes we will take two additional essential skills tests in December, on the 2nd and the 9th. The fastest way for a student to raise their average is to complete the review packets for the essential skills quizzes and retest. Also, all HW and assessments can be corrected and resubmitted for credit. As stated above, the 11th will be the last day that I will accept late HW for credit. I plan on giving only graded classwork during the final week so student's can focus on their other classes.
