Math 8D and 8E

Students have completed the Chapter 2 test and it will be going home with them tomorrow. Please review the test with your child and see what areas they may still need to work on.

We have been working on squares and square roots. Most students have passed in their project and should now be studying for their square root quiz on Monday. Squares and square roots from 1 - 200.
