We began with the Exponent Properties Involving Quotients Assessment (key, pdf).

Today's lesson (pdf) reviewed a little bit about Zero and Negative Exponents and Scientific Notation.

Your homework for tonight is:

1. Check the portal for the results of your assessment, fill out your student checklist with your results, and make a plan for retake (if necessary), including making an appointment.
   
   
2. Finish the last problem on page 3 of the lesson (pdf).
   
   
3. Complete the Scientific Notation Online Pre-Assessment.
   
   
4. Prepare for the Zero and Negative Exponents assessment on Thursday. There are a variety of ways to do that including, but not limited to: review the online pre-assessment; review your notebook and/or the openers and lessons posted on the blog; review the video, work some practice problems in your textbook or that you find online. You can, of course, also get help from me, another math teacher, a teacher in the Study Center, a peer tutor in the Study Center, or a parent, sibling or friend. Do whatever works best for you, but make sure you're prepared. The expectation is that you should all be able to do very well on this assessment.
