Welcome to Spring Semester 2009

I will be co-teaching with Mrs. Chronister for Informal Algebra II this year and I will also be co-teaching with Mr. Rinehimer for Math I.

Please visit their blogs which are highlighted above for information about the class or any assignments. Both Mrs. Chronister and Mr. Rinehimer are available for extra help in the mornings and right afterschool. Please have your child come by if they are needing extra help.

Please remember that all Juniors will be taking the Georgia High School Exit Exams in March. One of these tests will be in the area of Math. EXTRA help is available for this as well as web sites.

Informal Algebra II

We are learning how to solve systems of equations by using several different methods. Next week we will also be solding word problems involving systems of equations. On Thursday Oct. 23 a quiz is scheduled over the four methods we have learned on solving systems. The chapter 4 test is scheduled for Thursday Nov. 6th at the present time.

Please remind your student that extra help is available before and after school. Also, the extra help sessions are still being held during their lunch period to review for the Exit Exam that will be taken in the spring.

We are still learning ways to divide polynomials. Also, this week each student was shown a printout of their current grade at the half way mark of the first semester. They were told about all the extra help that is available here at school for no charge. They were informed that they must have an average of 70 in order to pass a class in high school.
