If you are one of the students within 1% of the next letter grade, I'm extending the deadline. Read the post below and post your answer by 2:00 on Sunday, March 18... :)

LAST CHANCE (for a few of you)!!!

As you know, tomorrow is the end of the quarter... Overall, it was a good quarter - there are a lot of very good grades :) Some of you, though, are probably a little disappointed because you're SOOOOOOO close to the next letter grade. Well, here's your final opportunity to give your grade that little boost it may need.

This will only apply to a small percentage of you... Check your class grade in IC.

Periods 1, 3, and 4: unless you have any absent work that you're turning in tomorrow, the posted grades are up-t0-date.

Periods 5 and 6: I am collecting your homework tomorrow and will need to input those scores. Other than that, your grades are up-to-date.

If your grade is within 1% of the next letter grade (so if you have 89.00 - 89.99%, 79.00-79.99%, etc.), then this opportunity is for you. Periods 5 and 6 - if you think your grade might be within one of these ranges after I input your Bellwork tomorrow, then this is for you.

Here's your assignment... Look at problem #42 on page 347... Read it, think about it, draw the graph for it (the graph isn't part of the answer but will probably help you answer it), and think about it some more. Post your explanation (try to not make it too wordy, but make sure it's thorough) along with your name and period. If you are correct and your explanation makes sense, I will bump your grade up to the next letter grade :)

Remember - this opportunity only applies to those of you who are within 1% of the next letter grade.

This is due by 2:00 tomorrow - Friday, March 16. Good luck! (I will not be posting any of your comments until after 2:00 tomorrow...)

Extra Credit - Team Thunder :)

This extra credit opportunity expires Tuesday (March 13) night!

As you all know, Quarter 3 ends this Friday. Grades are updated, and the only thing that still needs to be added to your grade (besides HW assignments for the coming week) is your benchmark. Some of you are on the border between two grades. I want to make sure you're all aware of where you currently stand in the class. I am reposting the same extra opportunity from a few weeks ago...

I want to make sure you're all aware of where you stand in the class. You can earn a point of extra credit by simply checking your current grade. Please log on to Infinite Campus and look at your homework, test/quiz, and class averages for math. For privacy reasons, do NOT post your grades. Just post the digits after the decimal point. That will show me that you know your grade, but nobody else will know the actual grades. Somebody might post 28 - this could mean 98.28% or 52.28% - they both have the same digits after the decimal, but nobody will be able to tell the difference.

Pretend these are a student's grades:
Homework average: 64.38%; Text/quiz average: 92.60%; Class average: 84.14%. This is what I want you to post as a comment:

Michelle (remember to NOT post your last name)
Period 2
Homework: 38
Test/quiz: 60
Class: 14
