All of the preceding problems are drawn from chapter 3 and are part of our ongoing effort to re-familiarize ourselves with content in anticipation of our course final exam in June.

ALSO

Early next week you will have a quiz on lessons 10-4 to 10-6 covering the Pythagorean Theorem, Distance Formula and Similar Triangles. Be advised that a good source of potential questions are your class notes, in particular the PTP questions I asked for each lesson. Later in the week we will have a summative assessment on all of chapter 10.

NOTE:

It is uncertain whether or not we will actually have math class on Thursday or Friday because we are administering the Science MCAS. Regardless of whether we meet or not, all students are responsible for dropping off this home nugget on Friday.


Furthermore, students should expect a quiz early next week on:
The Pythagorean Theorem
The Distance Formula
Similar Triangles
(lessons 10-4 to 10-6)

Later in the week, we will likely have a summative assessment on all of chapter 10.
