Pre-Algebra: 4.2 - Today we looked at how we can use different methods of factoring to find the Greatest Common Factors of numbers or whether to tell whether numbers are relatively prime. We also practiced finding the GCF of given monomials. HW: 4.2 (odd) ** Please take a moment to look at missing assignments on Family Access. Many students have missing assignments or absent work that should be turned in as soon as possible. If you need copies of the assignments, please see me.
