Practice Test FAQ

Practice Test FAQ

This will grow through out the day as people have questions and is a VERY good resource for studying because it's everyone's questions. Please comment with any questions that come up. I will be checking in all weekend.

How do I do the picometers/micrometers problems ?



How do I do the fractions/what is the definition of powers?



#40!

This is like the bonus question on the test.

What is a good way to remember Scientific Notation? The Power Rules?

This pdf has one:“Registered Nurses Love Patients,” or RN, LP, which stands for right --- negative, left --- positive.
Thanks to Ms Magdaleno, the best Math chairperson in the world, I have songs for you.

Videos for 2/11

I am not sure what happened to my post. I will get it back up asap. in the mean time, here's a couple videos about what we covered.


Short one with a silly teacher

Big hand with an example JUST like one of the homework problems


I have a group on the site those are from. I posted the code on Instagram and gave it out in class. Ask me or a classmate for it if you want to join. I just learned about the site this weekend so I don't have official lessons there but I would love to try it out with you guys so I can get some ideas about how to use it better.

Instagram

Several student have said Instagram would be an easier method of helping so I set one up. My username is misslowerycabot. I am new to Instagram so I will need help using it. The blog is still a faster way to get me since I don't have a phone that has Instagram because the blog texts me.

Snow Day Calculator

As of 12:50ish we had a 25% chance Thursday and a 19% chance Friday with a note that this was likely an early dismissal. Both are in the slim to none range so DO YOUR HOMEWORK and GO TO BED ON TIME just in case. A snow day is better when you are rested and don't have homework anway.
