Post Test and Comments

Everyone seems to have an understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem.  If you have not tried the practice activity in my previous post, then please do so as a quick review before the post test.  Study guides for the post test will be distributed on Monday.  The post test will be administered on Wednesday, November 3, 2010.  I am asking all of my students to sign up as a follower of McMichael's 8th Grade Math and leave a comment.  Everyone who successfully completes this task will receive 5 extra credit points on their post test.  To post a comment, click on the comments button and choose to comment as Anonymous.  Type your comment in the box and sign your name at the end.  Your comment will be posted once it has been approved.

Radicals and Roots

We have spent the past two weeks working on adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing radical expressions.  Here is a neat practice activity for Radical Expressions to help you prepare for your post test.  Try the practice and let me ( and your fellow classmates) know what you think.  Better yet, post your score from the website!  WE have just started our study of the Pythagorean Theorem.  If you are feeling pretty confident that you understand the Pythagorean Theorem, try this Practice Activity for the Pythagorean Theorem.  Again, let me (and your fellow classmates) know what you think.

WELCOME!

Welcome to McMichael's 8th Grade Math.  This is your opportunity to communicate with your teacher and your classmates about the concepts we are discussing in math class.  Be sure to keep your blog posts clean and to the point. I think this will be a "fun" way for us to learn more about math together. Remember that your on-line textbook is a useful tool for tutorial videos, practice quizzes, and extra practice.

Your first assignment is to sign up as a follower and post a comment about something new that you have learned during our study of exponents and square roots.  Be sure to be specific and use complete sentences in your responses.
