There will be a test over Applied Math concepts of circles and time on Friday this week. Studnets will be able to use a 3x5 note card for the test.
I am very proud of my Applied Math 1 students for your effort on your Pre-Algebra Test. This really helped me see what we need to recover and things that you are currently doing a good job with. A little hint - a final exam for this class will look very similar to what you saw today.
All the Math Redo's have been put in the gradebook - so grade is current as of today. Some of you need to make sure that you study hard for the final as it is make or break for you.
I am proud of the students that did redos over break. I will be giving those that did redo's 100% for the assignment if you redid the entire assignment, so yeah for you.
With the winter break coming to an end and the start of 2011 I just want to take a moment to remind my APPLIED MATH students to bring with them all the redo work they completed over break so that they can turn in on Monday and get credit. I will not accept them late, unless you miss class on Monday.
Also remember this is your last 3 weeks to get your grades up for the semester - so work hard. Again as I have told the students for the entire week I expect them to redo all the assignments they have done for this semester and return them when they come back on Mon Jan 3rd. I will then grade the work and change grades - all of them have to ability to get a 100% on all assignments if they put in the time and effort during break. I will be checking out books to students on a first serve basis as there are not enough for everyone. I will not make copies of worksheets - this will teach student to keep graded papers like I have told them since Sept.
The students will have the opportunity to hear lecture material now from their computers once I get the headphones over break. Which will allow them to go at their own speed, and allow me to help those who need one on one assistance more. In Applied 1 today the students worked out of the book and will finish that in class tomorrow. Applied 2 was to take the book home and complete as much as they could before class tomorrow.
If a student will be gone on Friday they will need to take their test over this chapter on Thursday, then do the worksheets over break and return on Monday the 3rd of Jan. Well I got the first set of Lecture Notes for Applied Math download to the site you will find them under the Applied Math Files - yeah yeah yeah. So now there is no reason to say that you didn't understand because you can get online and hear the lecture from home.
The factoring test scores were not so good, so we are going to do a Review on Factoring tomorrow in class, and then students will be required to come in and make up the test. Reminder Applied Math 2 - you have to pass all the tests this semester with a B if you want to earn a B for the class, if you want an A all tests must have a 90% or better. Time is running out to retake those tests.
Students seem to have a pretty good understanding on Factors and from the work they did in class from the book I will see if they understand after the lecture. The Applied 1 group will finish their book work tomorrow at the start of class. Test for Factoring will be on FRIDAY
