Finals!
Our class will be taking the Final Exam on Friday, June 14, the last day of school.
To prepare:
If you have questions, email Moylan, go to tutoring, ask your peers, watch Youtube videos, but do something! Don’t just sit there and say that you don’t know how to do it.
Both parts of the review will be turned in to Moylan before the final on Friday. Make sure that they are 100% done!
Students will also be provided with a 1/2 sheet of paper, which they can fill with information that might help on the exam. You are welcome to write down formulas, hints, reminders, and step-by-step walkthroughs for types of problems. However, you cannot include specific problems/worked-out examples.
These 1/2 sheets will be turned in at the end of the hour on Tuesday and will be given back after the exam begins on Friday.

Students are spending Thursday’s class in small groups based on their previous performance on assessments so that we can make sure we’re not going into the retake without practicing first.

New Semester, New Start
With our new semester finally under way, students were given a chance to reflect on the positive changes they can make for success.
We then passed out and discussed the Class Syllabus, including our new expectations regarding phones going in the holder at the start of each class (we also practiced this together so that we would know exactly what to do when we returned on Monday). Please make sure that you and someone at home fill out the last page of the syllabus and return it to Moylan by Thursday, January 31st.
We spent the rest of the hour today working on some logic and problem solving skills with teammates by completing a series of logic puzzles which got progressively more difficult.
Make sure that you bring your interactive notebook to class on Monday, we will begin using them!
Final Exam Expectations:
Our class final is coming up quickly! Please make sure that you are prepared for it!
Our test is on Friday (starting at 9:00 since it’s a half day) and we will be turning in our review guide at that time, so please make sure that it’s 100% done!
Do not bring any smart devices (phones/watches/etc.) into the classroom, leave them in your locker if they must be at school with you!
The final is worth 10% of your total grade in class, making it the most important grade all semester since it is asking you to demonstrate mastery of all concepts we’ve covered.
Students get to use a calculator and a 1/2 sheet of paper (provided by Moylan in class) as supports for the test.
Final Exam Review
Remember, our final will be on Friday, 01/18.
Systems of Equations Test Tomorrow!
Students got their Unit Review yesterday.
We went over it today during class.
It will be turned in tomorrow before the test.
