Assignments and Information for the week of 2/25/08

Fractions, Integers and Decimals...oh my!
We have worked hard over the past four weeks now it is time to see how well we did.
After spending a day talking about Zero (How we can get there, what it is and what it is not, and the concept of absolute value) which supports our Integer work, it will be test time. We will spend one last class period reviewing the main concepts we have encountered. I will provide a review sheet that you will be able to use during your test. We will work as a group to complete as much of the review as we can and the rest will be up to you to study prior to the test. You will have two days to complete the test. My hope is with the extra time everyone will have the best opportunity to be successful. So be sure to be in class for the test and review.
Congratulations to all of you who are seeing the value of being prepared for class. Meeting this expectation really helps get the most out of our class. Thank you.
Please remember to submit all assignments timely to ensure the highest level of credit.

2/25/08 No School - Mid-winter Break

2/27/08 Test review
Remember you can use your notes, previous quizzes, classroom references and calculators (on parts) of your test. The only brain that will be available to you will be yours, so be sure you have all your questions answered (and written in notes, hopefully) and organized for the next two days.
