Week of May 3 - 6

We are continuing Chapter 6, Equalities. At the moment, we are working on photocopied worksheets to give students time to master balancing equations, working with variables, polynomials, integers and exponents.

Sheet 5 of the first set is due today.

In the new set of mastering the concepts, Sheets 1 - 4 are due May 5th.
Sheets 5 - 7 are due May 6th.

Those who do not complete their work will be in after school on Monday, May 9th.
