Hello fellow mathematicians,
We've been powering through (pun intended) exponents and raising numbers, variables and combinations thereof to different powers. All these skills help us to find the most efficient ways to simplify expressions, a skill which will prove extremely useful next year in high school. We've also begun taking more frequent, short quizzes at the beginning of class to hone these skills and get faster in their application. This will undoubtedly also help as we prepare for our Chapter 10 test next week.
In other news, please remember your student will need to obtain a copy of Painless Geometry by Lynette Long. Next week, after our Chapter 10 test, we will begin an intensive geometry unit. Books can be purchased both new and used from Amazon.com for under $10, or alternately, check the library and reserve a copy.
