3/22 Ch. 6 Test Prep

1.  Grab a computer and log-on to Google Classroom to access the Ch. 6 Test Prep

2.  Chapter 6 Test Prep & mini-groups

Areas to study:

• Writing and graphing inequalities (using < , > symbols)
• Solving equations and checking solutions
• Writing algebraic (variable) expressions and equations
• Solving real-world problems (either 5-D, algebraically, or hybrid)

3.  Early finishers:  Work on Puzzle Investigator #09 for extra credit.  Anyone can solve this PIP problem for extra credit.  Make sure your work is neat and easy to read.

Your homework this week is to prepare yourself for the test.  Make some time to see Mr. Robinett if there are any concepts you are still struggling with.
