After the bellwork we went over Hwk #34, which is also review for the Topic 6 Test.  We then looked back at the Topic 6 Quiz students took on Tuesday.  This was also review for Monday’s Test.

With the time remaining in the period we looked ahead at Topic 9 – Rational Expressions and Functions.  We previewed some of the skills students need to remember from prior years when working with fractions.

No homework assignment today.
