Pre-Algebra Announcements
Last Friday, we took our first unit test on integers and rational numbers.

Below are some brief statistics by class period.

Additionally, we had 3 students earn 100% (JP Bowersox, Cameron Hoppe, & Aadarsh Mahra), and 4 students miss just one question (Darrick Hattix, Leonardo Hernandez-Duenas, Leah Peterson, & Jaylene Potter).

Students can earn half credit points back if they complete their test corrections, which we started in class on Monday.  Below are the requirements:
  • Test corrections must be completed on binder paper.
  • The original question must be copied onto the binder paper.
  • Work for each step must be shown.
  • The correct answer must be boxed.
  • Test corrections must be turned in to the Work Submission tray in class.
This week, we will extend the learning we did with one-step equations in the first unit to multi-step equations and inequalities in unit 2.  Homework for the week is as follows:
