I was not there today, but in my absence you finished Chapter 2 with Mr. Simpson. Together, you took a look at non-linear functions with Lesson 2.7. This completes our introduction to functions, and brings us to the Chapter 2 test.

Math 8 teachers will be available in The Community tonight from 7:30 to 8:30 to answer any questions you have about Chapter 2. All you have to do is log on and post a question, and we'll get right back to you!

Be sure to study tonight, review the key concepts with the Chapter 2 Summary, and carefully study the Chapter 2 Pre-Test. We want everyone to be successful, so please do your part. Come fully prepared!

We continued our conquest of the islands of MATHia today in class. Our second MATHia grading period ends on Friday. Have you met your goals yet? If not, what will it take to get there by the end of the week?

We'll be finishing Chapter 2 tomorrow and taking our test on Wednesday. Please begin your studying right away so you'll be fully prepared to demonstrate mastery on Wednesday's test. The Chapter 2 Pre-Test that you got a couple weeks ago is THE BEST study guide. The textbook chapter summaries, old class work, and old homework make excellent study tools as well.

Homework: MATHia practice

Friday 9/18

Week 6 is in the books and Chapter 2 is now almost complete. That means our Chapter 2 test is right around the corner! Have you been studying and reviewing your homework and class work each day?

Also, are you on track to meet your MATHia goals? You can check your progress in the toolbar above.

We finished Lesson 2.6 today, which now completes our analysis of linear functions. We should now be able to tell all the scenarios when U.S. Shirts is the better buy, and when Hot Shirts is the better buy (and be able to defend our reasoning to our boss!).

If there's anything from today's class work that didn't get finished in class or needs to be improved, please fix it up at home and feel free to check your answers with the link above. Get into the routine of checking your work at home daily and you'll find studying for tests and doing your homework is much easier!
