Tuesday, 5/17/16: Preparing for Final Quiz 5-1, on Scatter Plots and Two-Way

The date of Quiz 5-1 has been pushed back to Monday, 5/23.  I am doing this because this morning some 8th graders were getting pulled for standardized test makeups.  I really want students prepared coming into this final quiz.

Students still aren't fully prepared yet, but we are about 90% there now.

No formal homework is assigned for today, but students can be studying the practice quiz that they have in their possession.

The date of Quiz 5-1 has been pushed back to Monday, 5/23.  I am doing this because this morning I learned that some 8th graders are getting pulled Tuesday for standardized test makeups, and because I really want students prepared coming into this final quiz.

Students still aren't fully prepared yet, but we are about 75% there now.  Students should be in very good shape by the end of the period Tuesday.

No formal homework is assigned for today, but students can be studying the practice quiz that they have in their possession.
