TUESDAY: Quadratics Unit Test (methods to solve)----be there for the attendance bonus! Today is the LAST day to earn points for your team!
WEDNESDAY: I hope to review the test results with you and discuss errors as long as everyone has taken the test. I also hope to announce the 1st and 2nd place winners of the team challenge. Finally, we will revisit solving systems of equations using graphing and substitution. You will work on a partner activity that you will finish IN CLASS tomorrow. The second set of problems will be graded.
THURSDAY: a quick STEM warm up activity will be followed by you and your partner completing the systems partner activity. As long as you finish that, you will NOT have homework. If you finish early, you and your partner can work on the CSI bonus point activity.
FRIDAY: You will receive an end of the course review packet as we have already started a periodic review for your final exam. That's what the partner activity this week was all about.
