7th grade, Wed - Friday, 12/9 through 12/11

forgot to blog yesterday -- we distributed study guides for the test -- test is on Friday
Thursday we reviewed these study guides, using the class votes as our priorities for topics to focus on. Friday is the test. Students may use their study guides / notes to help on the test. They may not use calculators for the first 3 pages, then they turn these in and pick up a calculator which they may use for the rest of the test. There will be a page of extra credit on the test. Next week we will have opportunities to improve our math grade, including our test grade.

Answers to the study guide follow and I will be at school early on Friday morning for any students who would like a last-minute study session.
