Unit 2 Test
Great job on the test yesterday! Many of you tried the extra credit and received either 1 or 2 bonus points. Several of you also attempted the extra credit assignment last week on the Egyptian math method. If so, you received 1-3 bonus points on the Unit 2 test.
Today you will receive your graded test, along with your self-assessment checklist, study guide, and extra credit WS. These will all be attached to your current progress report. Please show the papers to your parents and have a parent sign the progress report.
