I was at the district office today, but in my absence you were working in MATHia. Many of you missed class today for Pioneer Day activities; make sure to make up the MATHia time on your own so you can meet your goals by the end of next week.

Tomorrow we'll complete the first half of Lesson 11.1. Those that are going to be out tomorrow, make sure to complete that lesson on your own prior to Thursday. You'll need to have the first half (Problem 1) complete to be able to do the second half with us. If you haven't torn your textbook pages out yet, here is a blank copy of 11.1 so you can stay caught-up at home.

Homework: MATHia practice

Monday HW Solutions: Chapter 11 Pre-Test answer key

Today's scheduled Pioneer Day activities were postponed until tomorrow - which impacted our plan quite a bit.

We took our Chapter 10 test today instead of tomorrow to ensure everyone had an opportunity to take it in class. Tomorrow will be a MATHia day. If you end up missing our scheduled class time for Pioneer Day activities, be sure to make up that computer time on your own.

Homework: Chapter 11 Pre-Test
