After 5 long days of testing, we will be back to a normal routine tomorrow.  We have been studying probability in math this week with dice rolling.  We will be learning about graphing ordered pairs and direct variation the rest of this week.  I will be giving a 3 part final exam.  Part One will be given next Tuesday.  A study guide will go home in the next couple of days.  This will be a cumulative exam of what we have covered this year and what we have been reviewing in order to prepare for CRCT.  Each part will be about 10-15 questions.  No homework tonight!!

Most of us have completed our circle graphs today.  I will allow time in class on Monday to complete them with added creativity.  No need to do that over the weekend.  I have kept most of them in class with me today.  Weekend homework does consist of CRCT #2 Review questions.  Those of you that did not complete last nights homework which was collected for a grade can and SHOULD complete CRCT #1  over the weekend as well.  Parents please assist as necessary.

We completed a review activity on Surface Area.  Tonight's homework is to complete the study guide for the quiz tomorrow.  I will be having a morning help session at 8:25.  You may enter the study session with a completed study guide.  Too many students are routinely coming to class unprepared without necessary materials and homework.  This effects how a student performs on assessments.  I am happy to hold study sessions as long I know that the students are also studying at home: )

We have been working on find the surface area of a cylinder.  Students may use calculators to complete tonights surface area worksheet. Use the T-charts that I have given you to show your work.  Find the area of the 2 circles and the area of the rectangle and add them together for the total surface area.  Remember to see if you have a radius or a diameter first!!
