Week of 4/25

The college cost projects were a major hit! They turned out really great and the students had fun doing them.

This week Course 2 will be starting chapter 10. This is a very quick chapter on geometric figures and we will wrap it up on May 5th.

In Pre-Algebra we will be diving into chapter 11. In chapter 11 the students will learn all the different ways to graph a line. This again is Algebra content and the students will be asked to step up to the challenge!
