Today we continued reviewing for the midterm (lesson, pdf). Our midterm will be on Wednesday.

Your homework for Wednesday is:

1. Finish/study the worksheet we worked on today (lesson, pdf).
   
   
2. Identify the topics (if any) that you are struggling with and make a plan for when you will come in to get help on those on Monday and/or Tuesday. (That would be before the midterm, just to be clear.)
   
   You may also want to review the video over that topic(s). You can find those by scrolling back through the blog, or by going directly to my YouTube Channel and selecting the appropriate playlist, then finding the correct video in that playlist.
   
   You can start as early as 7:10 am if you get to class by then. You can bring a 3 by 5 notecard with things you think might help you on it.
   
   I'm hopeful you won't need to re-assess. But, if you do, plan on re-assessing on Thursday or Friday (before spring break).

We Skyped with Mollie Woodworth - nice job with the questions.

Here's today's opener (pdf).

We then talked about slope, and how various parameters affect a graph, and about parallel and perpendicular lines (lesson, pdf).

Your homework for Wednesday is:

1. Prepare for the Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Assessment. First, complete the online pre-assessment. Then there are a variety of ways to prepare 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.
   
   
2. Review for the midterm on Thursday. We'll work on this in class on Wednesday as well, but my recommendation is to start working on the review (pdf) now.
