Math News
Two weeks ago, we wrapped up Unit 4 - our study of Probability. Most students showed a lot of success during Unit 4. This past week, we began Unit 5 - our study of GEOMETRY! While students usually show success in Unit 4, Unit 5 often seems to be more difficult. We will continue to use homework assignments to reteach/reassess student learning. Students should expect to receive a homework assignment on Tuesday and the assignment will be due on Thursday. Students can also expect to be given their first Unit 5 Quiz on Friday.
Our week will look as follows:
Monday: Measuring Angles
Tuesday: Design Challenge
Wednesday: Angle Sums of Polygons
Thursday: Ins and Outs of Polygons
Friday: Unit 5 Quiz 1

As always, please feel free to email your child's respective math teacher if you have any questions.

 On Thursday 3/8, they will have a quiz over these environmental issues, and Friday will be a credit recovery day.
