On Wednesday, our class time will be open for general Q&A before the test on Thursday.  The test on Thursday will consists of ~15 multiple choice questions and about ~5 free response.  Each of the ~20 questions will be worth the same number of points.  Graphing calculators will be needed for this test (i.e., for MATH-9).  You will use one of my classroom calculators w/ the memory cleared.

You are also encouraged to attend lunch tutorials on Tuesday and/or Wednesday as quite a few people did today.

By Monday

• Finish 4.4-4.5 assignment on pages 2-3 in the current packet. Check answers to the odd questions in the back of your text.
• Finish test #3 corrections if not completed on Friday.
• Try all of the sample AP questions on pages 5-9 in the current packet.  These questions will be our focus on Monday during class.  We're going to try using the new SMART Response system for you to submit your answers to these questions ...
