Week 18 & 19

January 19, 2015

Sorry about not posting last week!  I'm working hard to ensure students have outlines and materials to review for their test next week!

Math 9 

We had a test last week and some students are doing really well with the material while some are struggling.  I will be holding tutoring sessions on Tuesday and Thursday at noon this week to ask any questions about the material.

I have created study guides with each chapter of material we have covered:
Chapter 2: Exponents (FRIDAY, January 16)
Chapter 3:  Rational Numbers (MONDAY, January 19)
Chapter 1:  Square Roots (TUESDAY, January 20)
Chapter 5:  Polynomials (WEDNESDAY, January 21)
Chapter 4/6:  Linear equations and inequalities (THURSDAY, January 22)

Study guides includes review of the main points in each chapter and an assignment with questions that will be on exam.  For example, exponents will be page 1, rational numbers will be page 2,.. etc

If students are having trouble with any concept youtube videos can be found online.  I am available from 8am-start of school on a daily basis and tutoring sessions on Tuesday and Thursday at NOON HOUR this week.  I will also be available Wednesday after school for an hour.

Science 8

I have given the students an outline of the material required for the exam, we will use the rest of classtime this week to complete their own review of the material and ask questions.  The test will ONLY cover the light and optics unit, since it is only a 1 hour exam.
