Mitten weather has arrived!
We have accomplished so much today. Think we both need to take a deep breath and let our brains rest. I'm so glad you brought up the COMPASS program at MATC. We will definitely bump this goal up to #1. Two and a half weeks is not much time to prepare for these important exams. Good for you for setting such high goals for yourself!
Here's the homework for next week.
1. Here is a pretest for Math/PreAlgebra. http://www.businessbookmall.com/Test-Prep%20Mathematics%20Pretest.htm More links are available on the blog.

3. Side by Side, Book 2, read page 8 and answer questions 1-9 on page 9. Also, read and answer questions on page 10c (handout).
