Quizzes

Students in both courses will take their first short quiz of the year today. There will be a quiz every Friday from here on out covering the material assigned during the week. These quizzes are very important to student grades as tests and quizzes are the "product" they produce in my class and account for 85% of their grade.

Results from the pre test were very positive. We will review just a few concepts from Ch. 1&2 dealing with functions. Following this review we will begin with section 3.3 and proceed through the text. Please note, Chapters 11 and 12 are now part of Algebra 2 current state standards. Since we will begin with a two chapter head start, I will plan to start in on Alg. 2/Geometry concepts by May.
