Assignments and Mathematical Musings from Mr. Kirk

Study for your midterm.  What does this look like?

• Redo the Midterm Review Packet.  Use the Midterm Review Packet ANSWERS for answers (but it’s only the answers, not the solutions).
• Read over your notes that you have taken from the course, especially the review notes we took the last few days.
• Work on review sheets from past units.  You can find them below.
• Work on the review sections in your textbook at the end of each chapter.  We’ve pretty much gone through the book in order, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find extra practice problems.
• Come to the All-Day Midterm Review-a-palooza in H112 on Tuesday, January 24.  Come prepared with specific questions. Don’t just come to work on your review packet; it’s a waste of time to do that here because you can do that at home.
• The night before the test – Get a good night’s sleep.  Don’t stay up late texting or facebooking.
• The day of the test – Eat a good breakfast and lunch before coming in to the test.  Bring 2 pencils, 2 pens, and your calculator.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not bring your calculator to the test, you will be given a scientific, non-graphing calculator to use in its place.  So bring your calculator.

Collection of old review sheets…

Finally, I’ve taken the post with links to all the Algebra 1 Videos off the main page, but if you still want to look them up you can find them here.

Finish the Midterm Review Packet (Unit 5 – Systems)!  I will post answers tomorrow.
