Pre-Calculus:
Due on Monday, April 22nd is your fake-cation Journal assignment. If you are in school over the break, then we'll work on it in class. If you are not in school, you are expected to finish this independently.

Algebra 1A:
Due on Monday, April 22nd is the packet on MCAS Open Response questions. If you're in the 8th Grade this year, or if you took the 8th Grade ELA MCAS this year (even if you don't think you're an 8th Grader), please complete the 8th Grade Practice MCAS. All other students should work on the 10th Grade Practice MCAS.

Please remember the following:

• You will likely see problems, or parts of problems, that you don't understand. That's normal, so don't panic! Answer everything you can answer, and guess on everything else.
• If you have a calculator accommodation on the MCAS (not just for classwork!), then use a calculator for the entire thing (I spoke to you in class on Friday if this is the case). Otherwise, follow the guidelines in the packet about calculator use. (There will be calculator-free sections of the MCAS, so I want you to be prepared.)
• Every question has something that you can answer! Even getting 1 point is better than getting 0 points, so try each part of each question.

Every year, many students miss passing the MCAS on the first try by only 2 points, usually because they don't bother answering the Open Response questions. Let's work together on getting good at Open Response questions, so you don't have to take MCAS more than once!
