Algebra Parents:

For the Unit Test we are taking tomorrow, I am allowing the students to
 have one sheet of notes. The sheet must be 8 1/2 x 11 (or smaller)
 one-sided. The unit has been about solving systems of equations. We
 have learned methods for solving systems of equations:
* graphing
* substitution
* linear combinations.
Additionally we have learned about 2 special cases:
* parallel lines that have no solutions
* overlapping lines that have many solutions

I would expect that the page of notes would include information on all
 of the above. I gave the students a practice test for homework last
 night. The real test will be close to the practice test, so that
 practice test is the best way to study.

Also, I am giving back the quizzes today that we took last Thursday.
 Please ask your children how they did.

Mr. Brown
