Whew! I'm back! Unfortunately, I was out sick yesterday. But, I am feeling better today, and back at school.
Monday, with the Algebra students, our Americorp Member, Karyn, taught the students about factoring out a monomial - which is the distributive property in reverse. The students had a lot of practice, and were given a homework assignment on it, which is on the Algebra Homework page.
On Tuesday, Geometry students took their Unit 2 test, which was about polygons. I gave them about 10 minutes of study time before the test, and they seemed confident about their skills and ready to succeed. I am anxious to grade the tests and see how well they did. I will be giving back scores on Friday.
