9 Pre-Algebra II (Concrete, Period 2): 

Only 4 students passed the homework quiz, which is based on entering the correct answer to various homework problems over the last several weeks.  The fact that I have keys for every assignment make this a sure-fire "A" grade for anyone who attempts to organize themselves.  

Based on the fact that the majority of the class failed the homework quiz, the students who earned D or F scores (71% & below) will have the the opportunity to organize themselves during lunch from anywhere from 1-4 days of "lunch organization help" depending on the level of need. Check dashboard to see what your child scored on the HW quiz.

Scales as follows:

0-25% on HW quiz = 4 days

26-50% on HW quiz = 3 days

51-62% on HW quiz = 2 days

63-71% on HW quiz = 1 day 

NO Concrete Pre-Alg. II vodcast due to HW quiz

Pre-Algebra II (Traditional, Period 1,6,7,8)): 

Complete WS 13-6 (1-8) on solving and graphing inequalities (also include the set of numbers that match the solution)

Example: X < 2

Set: {1,0,-1, ... neg. infinity}

Example: X > -3

Set: {-3,-2,-1,0,... infinity}

Each class had multiple students whom failed the homework quiz, which is based on entering the correct answer to various homework problems over the last several weeks.  The fact that I have keys for every assignment make this a sure-fire "A" grade for anyone who attempts to organize themselves.  

Based on the fact that a few members of the class failed the homework quiz, the students who earned D or F scores (71% & below) will have the the opportunity to organize themselves during lunch from anywhere from 1-4 days of "lunch organization help" depending on the level of need.
