End of the first 6 weeks

The first 6 weeks is almost over.

This week we will be focusing on setting up equations and solving word problems. Students can expect another open notes quiz on Friday.

The first 6 weeks benchmark test will be held next Tuesday, September 29th. It will cover everything we have learned this year.

Friday, September 25th is the last day I will accept ANY corrections on failing daily work assignments.

As a reminder, Wednesday September 30th is an early release day.

I will also be offering an extra credit worksheet to students this week - it will add extra points to their quiz scores. I offered an extra credit worksheet last week - and only about 10 students decided to take advantage of it.
