TOMORROW is our first Quiz. It covers sections 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 and
1-5. Be sure and "review" by practicing the Review Problems we covered in class as well as problems in each section of the textbook. Remember that the answers to the odd #s are in the back of the book. If you need assistance w/ these, remember to use the HotMath.com website since it explains these odd #ed problems. THE BEST WAY TO "STUDY" for a Math quiz/test IS TO "PRACTICE." Repetition is the only way to get anything "down-pat." I'm sure you've heard: "Practice makes perfect and perfect practice makes permanent!!"
We, also, checked (and I collected) last night's WB pg. 5 assignment, which was to be done on notebook paper.
