I know we've been working hard lately in preparation for the test. Now that the test is behind us, we will go back to normal schedule. This does not let you off the hook for math class. We do have new things to learn and we will cover new topics. These will be previews of math you will be expected to be better at next year. Unfortunately, the State standards we've been trying to meet are changing, and requiring yet more of you, so next year will be somewhat difficult. If you were ok this year, you should be ok next year, too.
We will be covering some more detailed volume ideas, something called surface area, and we will graph lines. If we have time, we may briefly touch on Pythagorean Theorem. We will also discuss math's role in your everyday lives, (or perhaps the lives of your parents), with regards to taxes, commission sales, leaving tips, shipping, and mark-up/discount. We will also calculate interest and learn a bit more about why interest can be really bad, as well as really good.
So keep heading onward!
