Good morning! Well the students had a difficult time with the math test on Thursday. Most of you know they are making some pretty detailed test corrections. My goal is that they will identify that the majority of their mistakes were due to rushing through the test, not reading carefully, not calculating carefully, etc. Perhaps a couple of students did not understand one or two problems, but the rest of them simply hurried and made careless errors. I will be giving a similar test on Wednesday, allowing them to change their grade if they improve. Tuesday's Lyceum period will be dedicated to reviewing and helping those who did struggle with particular concepts. The rest of the week we will be looking at order of operations again, adding parentheses into the mix.
