Week of April 20-24

This week we will be finishing up our work in Shapes of Algebra and get ready for the unit test next Wednesday April 29th and Thursday April 30th. Honors students will be taking the Algebra I Placement exam this Wednesday and Thursday. Students who pass this test with a 77% or higher will be placed into Geometry their freshman year. Please encourage your student to get lots of rest and eat a good breakfast both days of the test. We will be doing review activities Monday and Tuesday to help prepare them for the test.

Monday April 20:
Regular: Investigation 4.4. In this investigation students will develop a new strategy for solving systems of equations: combination.
HW: Pg 60 #15, 17, 21, 22
