Tuesday's (Belated) Teaser

Of course you can do it. One step at a time, there's nothing needed to solve this that we have not done.



Each correct teaser is worth 5 additional points (two correct = a 70% instead of a 60% on a test, for example).
Since this teaser was given late, answers, with work showing, can be submitted or emailed before the end of school on Monday, November 2.

Class Summary: October 26, 2015

It's not the best day to be you, as the test results were somewhat disappointing. The solution is to practice more and share more which is why you will be doing all of the warm up exercises at the board, and not me.




Class Work 1.5, our final exam review part I is given today and is due on Wednesday, October 28th.  That work can be found here.
