Notice to Geometry Students

Starting Monday, March 16, each school day I will post some math practice problems from the current chapter and from previous chapters.  I will be your responsibility to work on these problems to keep sharp with the material we’ve been covering.  Just like bellwork, I will include the answers.

I will also occasionally include some PSAT/SAT math practice.

I will be available to answer questions via email.

I hope that everybody stays well and we’ll see you in a month!
