The final exam is TOMORROW. Please do not be absent or late. Students will not be admitted to the exam late, and absences will only be accepted as non-failure when accompanied by a doctor's excuse and permission from the Principal.



Algebra I: Check out the yellow pages at the end of each chapter -- standardized test practice. These should be a good final review for the exam.

Algebra II:
Simplify exponents (cubed root) ***
Domain/range cubed root and square root functions **
probability *****
interpreting scatter plots *
combinations/permutations ***
composition functions***
exponential growth/decay***
Mean/median/mode/range/IQR ****
inverse functions ***

Algebra I:P. 454-455 (3, 9)
We're almost there!!!! Be sure to study systems and graphing linear inequalities tonight for the open-ended section of the final.
Here is a resource to look at regarding inequality graphs (part of the open ended) if the link doesn't work use http://ultrashare.net/hosting/fl/5dc5693cce/Inequalities

Here is practice with a system of equations.


Algebra II: Study circles and regressions for the final pt.1 tomorrow. Good luck.

Algebra I: P. 447 (3, 9, 17)

Algebra 1 Benchmark Assessment 4
Relate slope to perpendicularity and/or parallelism (limit to linear algebraic expressions; slope formula provided on the reference sheet).
Identify or graph functions, linear equations or linear inequalities on a coordinate plane.
Write, solve and/or apply a linear equation (including problem situations).
Write and/or solve systems of equations using graphing, substitution and/or elimination (limit systems to 2 equations).
Given the graph of the line, 2 points on the line, or the slope and a point on a line, write or identify the linear equation in point-slope, standard and/or slope-intercept form.
Compute the slope and/or y-intercept represented by a linear equation or graph.
Match the graph of a given function to its table or equation.
Draw, find and/or write an equation for a line of best fit for a scatter plot.
Make predictions using the equations or graphs of best-fit lines of scatter plots.








Algebra II: Tests look pretty good, be sure you have your unit 9 materials complete and have them ready to turn in tomorrow (circles, kennywood, parabolas tasks)


Algebra 2 Benchmark Assessment 4

Simplify square roots. (e.g., sqrt(24) = 2 * sqrt(6) )
Identify the domain, range or inverse of a relation (may be presented as ordered pairs or a table).
Add, subtract and/or multiply polynomial expressions (express answers in simplest form – nothing larger than a binomial multiplied by a trinomial).
Match the graph of a given function to its table or equation.
Analyze data and/or answer questions based on displayed data (box-and-whisker plots, stem-and-leaf plots or scatter plots).
Calculate or select the appropriate measure of central tendency (mean, mode or median) of a set of data given or represented on a table, line plot or stem-and-leaf plot.
Describe how outliers affect measures of central tendency.
Find probabilities for independent, dependent or compound events and represent as a fraction, decimal or percent).
Find, convert and/or compare the probability and/or odds of a simple event.
Determine the number of permutations and/or combinations or apply the fundamental counting principle. (Formula provided on the reference sheet).
