Homework for Tuesday, 2/23
Trans Math: didn't see you today, but ...
*Homework is one of two worksheets that Ms. Flynn passed out in class.
***FRACTIONS TEST***
This Thursday, we will be taking the fraction unit test. We will be reviewing application problems in class on Wednesday with a Sven application homework.
The plan is to allow you to take the test and pass any sections you have mastered, then study specifically for the sections you want to retest next Wednesday, March 3. Obviously, there will be much less stress in your future if you pass many or all of the sections the first time, but I also don't want you to burn yourselves out in preparation.
HOWEVER ... please use Quizlet as a way to practice & prepare. There are many fraction sets that you can use. The link is at the right and you've all been there ... it's there for you!
Pre-Algebra: ws 3.6, evens only
*This is a review of multiplicative inverses (yikes!), but they are difficult in name only.
*No, I have no copies to upload, so I hope you didn't lose it ...
Remember: Just flip it!
