Review today, Test tomorrow

Today is a last chance review and confidence building day.  We're going to go through fifteen questions and then come back around to do them together and make sure we're clear on what and how to do the tasks for proof of learning.

If you'd like extra practice, go to Khan Academy, find 6th grade and search for "surface area" or "volume" both will be on the test.
