Entry Task & Class Notes:
Homework:
- Finish Word Problems from 13.6 Handout
**Special Announcement!
The first trimester is half over and for Pre-Calculus, that means midterms! It's roughly 100 points and four pages long spread over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mr. Radcliffe's Tips for Success:
- Know your mechanics! Make sure your algebra skills are solid, that you know your formulas, and you understand the course material--no matter how long ago it was.
- Leave time for Word Problems! Allow yourself extra time to read and reread word problems so you're better able to solve them. This tip goes for most tricky problems--if you find yourself stuck on something, don't dwell on it; continue with the test and come back to it later. Don't waste precious time.
- Control Stress. It's not a cougar, right? Try closing your eyes and taking 5 deep breaths. It's only as bad as you make it. Doing your best is all you can do. So if your best is an 80%--awesome!! Study, review, eat well, get good sleep--if you don't do well, you know what to improve on next time. You wouldn't be in this class if you couldn't do it.
Good luck!
Fail. Fail Again. Fail better.
