7th and 8th Math - February 25, 2010

For those who follow the blog, I apologize that I did not get the assignments posted yesterday - no good excuse, I just forgot. Sorry!
7th Math: 2nd hour and 4th hour students took notes yesterday. Then we finished today and worked on the assignment: Page 150: 9-39 (show work!) and #44 for extra credit. 5th hour did not have class on Wednesday because of an assembly so they are a day behind. In that class we took notes today and will finish and have the assignment tomorrow. Also - don't forget that the weekly worksheet is due.
Algebra: We will have a quiz on Friday. I gave a practice worksheet today to help review for the quiz. We will grade it tomorrow, go over questions, and have the quiz.
8th Math: Today we reviewed for the quiz on Friday - so study notes. We will also grade the weekly worksheet.
