This Friday, December 12 is the last day to submit the U3T4 Knowledge Application.

Next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, we will be having our First Semester Final Exam.

The purpose of a final exam in my class is to provide one last opportunity for a student to show understanding of one or more of the first semester's essential standards. This is a cumulative assessment. Each of the essential standards will be assessed -- the goals listed in PowerSchool. The final exam can only help a student's grade (i.e. it gives them a chance to "check a box" in PowerSchool for one or more of a their first semester goals)

2. Make sure that you have notes in your math notebook (things to remember)

3. If you get stuck, choose to persevere: review your thinking, try another approach, ask for help, search
