COVID-19 Quarantine Week #2

week of March 23rd-27th 
M ... 3/23   For Algebra 2 and Fundamentals of Geometry Classes
... to help pass the time here is a suggestion:
work on GMM priorities to stay sharp , if you get stuck on a problem follow these steps -
1) look through, read and use your notes 
2) take a screen shot of the problem and send it to me using email
3) move to another problem with a $ sign 
4) if you are "locked" onto a problem, use the "skip" option to move to another problem 

For Algebra 3, a suggestion is to organize our notes from the year, read through all the types of problems we have worked on and refresh your memory on those skills ... remember, your book has "tons" of practice problems with odd answers in the back (so only do the odds) ... if you are stuck, send me and email with a picture of your work, the page and problem number
