I've gotten a few posts that were done incorrectly (wrong word, no last initial, wrong period, etc.). Check again to make sure that your comment posted and that your word in the gradebook changed to a score of 5. If it didn't, reread the directions and REPOST your word. This is due tomorrow for periods 2 and 3, and on Monday for periods 5 and 6. I will be collecting the paper in class. See you then!

Math 8
As I told you in class today (or as you'll find out tomorrow), you have two quizzes coming up.
This Friday/Monday: quiz on the perfect squares #1-20 and perfect cubes #1-10. This is going to be a timed quiz (you'll have 1:45); you need to have these memorized as you won't have time to do the multiplication on the quiz. You probably already know the squares for #1-15, so there really aren't that many for you to memorize. I would suggest making flashcards and practicing until you can say them without hesitating (and be sure to keep mixing up your flashcards). You can also click here for extra practice (Scatter and Space Race are good choices).
Next Tuesday/Wednesday: quiz on turning repeating decimals into fractions. Most of you did well on the Unit 1 Test. Of all the problems, though, this type is what was missed the most. You'll be given two problems just like the problems on your "Palm Tree" worksheet. If you know how to do these, great - review them again and you should get an easy A. If you're still not sure how to do them, come see me during homeroom or brunch - you don't want to miss more quiz points.

Website Activity - Math 8
Because of the holiday yesterday, I had the due dates wrong for the Web Activity. It will be due one day later than what was originally posted. The new due dates are September 6 (A) and September 9 (B).
Many of you have already posted your word. Check to make sure that it posted and that I changed your word to a 5 in the gradebook. A few of you posted incorrectly, so you need to be sure to fix it prior to the due date. You'll turn in the completed paper to me on September 6/9.
Algebra - your due date hasn't changed. Yours is still due tomorrow (Wednesday 9/4)... :)
