Chapter 1 Test coming up!

Hey American Leaguers!

Make sure you are prepared for the Chapter 1 test.  Enriched math will take the test on Friday, September 11th.  Regular math will take the test on Wednesday, September 16th.  We will work on study guides in class and will play Kahoot to help us review.

If you’re asking yourself, “how do I study for math?” Here are some strategies:

1) Go back and do problems from the textbook.  Focus on the sections you had trouble with in class.  Remember, odd problems have ANSWERS in the back of the textbook!

2) Use the textbook website resources to do practice problems.  If you click on Chapter 1, in the side bar at the bottom is a link to the Chapter 1 Test.

This takes you to a multiple choice practice test!  Do your best and submit, and the website will grade your answers.  If you got the problem wrong, the website will tell you what the correct answer is and give you a hint as to what you did wrong.
