Pre-Algebra: Final Exam will be on Thursday, June 5th. In addition to our in-class review, students should be preparing at home by looking through previous assignments/in-class work, ISN pages, notes, old tests and quizzes, Daily Math pages, and review packets. Do NOT wait until the night before the final to start preparing. Please come to class with questions! Homework: Tonight students need to be sure their Final Exam Review packet is complete. In addition to completing the problems, students need to label each problem with a red, yellow or green dot (denoting the difficulty). This strategy will help students prioritize which concepts they need to focus on when studying.
