Math 7 April 14

Students that finished the Algebra Quiz the Friday either started to make corrections with me or did an extra credit assignment.  Those that did not take or finish the Algebra Quiz finished it today.

Students were asked to turn in their Spring Packets today.  I did not collect them, each student turned in their own packet.

HW: nothing assigned

Extra Credit Assignment: textbook p 728 #35-40 all SHOW WORK; p 731 #46-56 all SHOW WORK; p 734 #17-20 all  DRAW OUT THE TABLES   (all of this is considered one assignment)

Math 6/7 April 4

Today the students continued to work on the "Want Ads Task" that they worked on yesterday.  We also discussed what are the characteristics of direct variation.  I was unable to get a CRCT review packet to them to do over Spring Break, sorry.  The students will have to be prepared to work very hard when they return so we can prepare for the CRCT.

Enjoy your Spring Break!!!
