To Parents and Students:

 HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!!

HO!, HO!, HO!…….             Homework: 

If the students scored less than 85% on the final Math test, they have received a booklet that has to be completed as homework.  The graded test was given back to the students, (on class periods 5th, 6th and 8th only).  Please ask your child to verify if they have or don’t have homework.  Every student that has to complete homework visited my classroom today and they have received the instructions and the booklet.  Some other students –even with a passing grade– took the booklet home to receive extra credit. 

Instructions:

DO NOT WRITE ON THE BOOKLET.

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS ON PART I ONLY, EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM NUMBERS: 7, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 24, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35 AND 39.

You MUST do calculations for every problem and present your work completely neat and organized.  (Identify your calculations with their respective problem number.)

This homework will be graded and it will be due on January 3rd, 2007.  –Charger Day–.

 Have a safe, well deserved and happy holidays.
