Today we took our final exam. Your grades are posted on the portal.

Please take a few moments and reflect back on this year and try to figure out what you did well (and continue to do that in the future), and what you could improve on (and try to improve on that in the future).

Please have a very good, very safe summer, and I'll see you in August. Thanks for your work this year.

Today's lesson (pdf) was the second half of our review over second semester (#6, 10, 18-28, 30-37, 45 key).

Your homework for Monday is:

1. Prepare for the final (ours is first final on Monday). Make a plan for when, where and how you are going to study for the Algebra final exam. Be specific and write down your plan (people who do this are much, much, much more successful than those that don't.)
   
   
2. Bring pencils, an eraser, your calculator, a notecard (if you wish), and your textbook to the final exam. Also bring materials to study for your next final as many of you are likely to finish early.
