Test Corrections

ALL CLASSES:
Because of Parent Teacher Conferences this week, I do not have time to do test retakes. However, it is very important to make sure that you understand these concepts so I will allow for test corrections. Test Corrections are done on a seperate sheet of paper and then stapled to your test and turned in. The test corrections include for each problem that was wrong:
  • what you did wrong
  • a description of the correct way to do the problem
  • the problem done correctly, with the correct answer and work shown

YOU MUST DO THE TEST CORRECTIONS THIS WAY OR YOU WILL NOT GET CREDIT! These test corrections are due by Thursday, October 8

Math Books

FYI: Right now Pre-Algebra has a classroom set of books and they are supposed to be able to go online for online access to the books but someone misplaced the code that will give both me and the students access to this. I'm so sorry! So we're waiting to recieve the code again and as soon as we do, I will show the students how to access the website. I will try posting a sheet of notes and explanations with each homework assignment daily for reference. I'm so sorry! Hopefully we'll be getting that code soon!

Mathematics and the Arts

But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched with the same madness and genius.
~Harold Marston Morse
