Wednesday April 16

Today, I gave back the tests that were written on Monday. Generally, I was very disappointed with the results. One notable exception was Jeffrey, who received the highest mark in the class. Congratulations, Jeffrey!

Students were once again encouraged to complete their homework assignments, because the test results show little evidence of such work.

I checked to see whether any students had attended the after school Math Clinic on Tuesday. No one from the class had gone.

In the textbook, I assigned Questions #6 to #11 on Pages 236 to 238. These questions deal with similar triangles, and I had forgotten to assign them before we started working on SOHCAHTOA. Students need practice with similar triangles, because there are many situations in real life that make use of them. It was encouraging to see groups of students working on the problems, and staying on task. There were a few questions, and I hope that I answered them all!

Please work on completing the homework questions, and bring any remaining problems to class tomorrow, where we will take them up.

Have a good day,
Mr. P.
