Mar 5 and Spring Break

As of Mar 5, you have added another posting about the 2006 Math Contest, the one given to you in the last two classes before spring break.

Over the spring break:
1) Complete all the postings. I will be commenting on your posting and give you a mark. Let me know if you make any changes after I assigned a mark.
2) To keep your brain running, work on the Practice Unit Test package I gave you before the break. They are good Prov. Exam. type of questions. Do the "Arithmetic Sequence" and "Radical/Exponents" section. The "Table and Sequence" section is no longer required by the exam, but you can do it anyway.

Hope you have a great Spring Break.
