*We realize that the answers are multiple choice, but you will not receive credit if you do not have the "proof" as to how you came up with that solution. If it doesn't match, it won't count.
*Bring your questions to prep for the retest.

Trans Math: Negative Division WS
*Using negatives in more complex division problems.
*Be sure to notice the value of your total when determining the median and mean of the application problems at the bottom of the worksheet.
*Due Friday.
Pre-Algebra: Check Teacherease; your test scores have been posted.
*Tomorrow we will be doing test corrections in class ... you need to take these corrections seriously. My take is that "dropping a negative" here and there is something most of you aren't worried enough about ... or drawing a graph backwards ... or remembering to flip the inequality when you are multiplying or dividing by a negative number, but ONLY by a negative number ... you get the idea.
*Please be prepared to REVIEW all next week.
*RETESTS will be in class next Thursday.
*Our RETEST policy will be altered for this test: You may retake any section of the test for FULL credit, but you will keep your NEW score for that section regardless of which score is better. So be prepared!
*It wasn't all bad, by the way, in spite of how the scores look overall. Most of you missed the details on page two and they added up quickly ...
Sleep well. This test is over and now you can focus on learning the material and doing better next time. Yes?

*Pre-algebra level adding with negatives!
*Apply the rules you know from the "easy" problems ...
*Due Friday
Pre-Algebra: pg. 151, 10 - 22
*******ALERT!!!!*******
*In spite of our problem-solving in class today, we wrote the inequality wrong to the problem we solved (#32: n/-3 is less than -6; solved in that n is greater than -18)
WHEN you are multiplying or dividing by a negative integer, if you MOVE it to the other side, the inequality flips as well. (Just like Tyler's dad said, so we're not firing him)
In fact, this is the solution we came to, then we still wrote the inequality incorrectly. Remember? We determined that positive 33 worked, but -33 did not ... and +33 is definitely larger than -18, yes?
Sorry about the confusion ...we will go over this in class on Friday. Period 4 addressed this today when I caught the mistake.
*ANYWAY - Due Friday!
