Thank you students and parents.

Honors BM unit 7 on Block 3.6

We postponed the Bm until this week. Take it as a gift and use the extra time to study. This is quite possibly the hardest test of the year! Study! Study! Study!

Shadow A Grizzly Day! Tues 3.4

Parents please accompany your children to their classes on Tuesday. Come participate in the daily events and work. Experience the stampede that is the halls. Experience the lockout room...okay, not seriously. Experience the texting phenomena. Hope to see you there!

Honors 7-1 Quiz on Block 2.14

Happy Valentines Day. I got you a quiz! It will be on everything that we have done so far:
1. Pythagorean Theorem
2. Pythagorean Inequality [what type of triangle is it?]
3. Pythagorean Triple
4. 45-45-90 Triangles
5. 30-60-90 Triangles
Thats it. We will be practicing for the first 40 minutes, then take the quiz.
If studied, then got inclass practice....you should be good to go!

Honors BM 6 on Block 2.7

The benchmark will be started on this day! We might spend about 20 minutes on Friday finishing it, if necessary.
It is the toughest exam for 2008, so far! Okay, its the only one, but it is tough. There are a lot of formulas and theorems to remember. We will review for the first hour and test the second hour. Your graphic organizer from last Tuesday is an excellent study tool, so use it. Its the one with the pictures of the shapes and their characteristics.
Good luck and happy studying!

Honors Benchmark - Block Day 2.7

Unit 6 Benchmark is on the 7th - block day. Monday will be finishing up Similarity review, with a Benchmark review for homework. You will grade the hw in class Tuesday and learn from your mistakes. You will work on a second BM review in class with peers that will be graded on Block. Then Exam will be the second half of block, or whenever we are ready to go [after questions]. Last note of advice: Study. This semester the course has A LOT more to be memorized. We had about 7 figures to know and their two or three theorems that accompanied them. Its a lot in comparison to last semester, so get studying, get memorizing. Go over previous worksheets and practices. Print out more for the honors site and do them again. It'll be good practice.

Honors Quiz on Friday 2.1

The last quiz before the benchmark next week. It will encompass all of ch 6 Polygons and ch 8 similar triangles stuff! This includes concepts from this week and last semester!

Honors Quiz on Friday 1.25

This should be the easier of the two we have taken yet! Mostly based upon practice D, yet it might have some previous concepts from the last quiz.

Absence Tuesday Jan 22

I will not be in class on Tuesday. I will be locked in a room writing tests all day. Expect some semester 1 review and some current stuff. If I get a bad review from the sub, then pop quiz on Block day, but I know that wont be an issue. See you on Block day!

Honors Quiz on Friday Jan 18

Study Practice A, Practice B, and the HW [especially p.274]. Its pretty tough so be ready!
