This Friday we will take our first chapter test. It is a unit on basic algebra concepts. Students will be given a practice test on Thursday. They will be instructed to re-read ch.1, review their workbook pages and then take the practice test. Once this is completed he/she should hand the practice test to a parent and the parent grade it using the answer key which I provided. If a student misses any he/she should go back to that lesson and re-read the notes and try it again. Never put a practice test away until you are confident you can be successful on the test. New material requires hard work and consistent effort!!! Parents should then quiz their child using the vocabulary sheet we have been working on the whole chapter. Vocabulary is 33% of the test grade.

Tuesday:
Complete p. 36-7 #11-31 odd
Correct your quizzes, write a sentence to go with each corrected problem and get it signed by a parent. Quiz corrections are due on Thursday. P. 36-7 is due tomorrow.

Wednesday:

Complete the 1-8 Area Worksheet. For credit, each problem will need to be worked out using the formula and the correct steps. Remember, we are learning a process which will take us into higher levels of math with greater success.

Thursday:Re-read Ch. 1, Review your class notes (workbook pages), study the vocab sheet, take the practice test, have a parent check it with the provided answer key and analyze your mistakes. PREPARATION IS THE KEY TO HAPPINESS. CRAMMING GIVES YOU A BELLY ACHE!
