We began with the Solving Proportions and Percents Assessment (key, pdf). Make sure to check your results on the portal and, if you didn't score at least a 4.5, get help/study and schedule a re-assessment ASAP.

We then talked about the use of different measurement systems and the process of Dimensional Analysis (lesson, pdf).

Your homework for Thursday is:

1. Check the portal for your results on the Solving Proportions and Percents Assessment and write it down on your Student Checklist. If you didn't score at least a 4.5, make plans (and an appointment) to re-assess as soon as possible. Remember, you can schedule one re-assessment a day for five days if you need to.
2. On page 4 of today's lesson (pdf), do the top two problems regarding AHS track records.
3. Fill out this short survey on graphing calculators.
   
4. Invite your parents to attend Back to School Night tonight.
   
5. Don't forget you need graph paper tomorrow.
