Thursday's Plan

Math II (period 1)

Head to Big Ideas and try the practice test.  This will be kind of difficult, so help each other out.  Maybe partners or even with the people in front or behind you. 

Just a practice test, not graded for standards, but if you do this the test on Friday will be much easier.

Note: USE PAPER TO WRITE THINGS DOWN!  HONESTLY, DO IT!

Math I (periods 4, 5, 6)

All right, so yesterday we started working on some algebra stuff.  Today we practice!  Woo Hoo! 

On Big Ideas there is a fairly substantial assignment.  Quite a few problems, but they aren't that bad if you followed along yesterday.  Work with your partner.  Do your best.  The goal is 75% or better.  You have check answers and calculator available. 

Note: USE PAPER TO WRITE THINGS DOWN!  HONESTLY, DO IT!

Yes, I say that all of the time, it's that important!
