Week 27

Pre-Algebra

This week, we will press “pause” on our study of Systems of Linear Equations. We will resume this study when we return to in-class learning. In the meantime, we will be studying Data and Scatter Plots. The assignments and lesson support (videos, tutorials, notes, etc) will become available on Google Classroom daily. Please remember that your learning is still important!

Algebra

This week, we will begin studying Quadratic Functions. Our focus for the next 2 weeks will be on how to graph these functions. After that, we will turn our focus to solving them. The assignments and lesson support (videos, tutorials, notes, etc) will become available on Google Classroom daily. Please remember that your learning is still important! Please also make sure you check your email- I have sent an emails regarding your Exponential Functions and Polynomials test. The Polynomials Test will take place this coming Friday (3/19) online. Thanks for all you do, guys!

Moving Forward

Hello all,

I know that circumstances right now are less than ideal, but we will continue to make the best of it and come together as a community.
