November 18 - December 1 TEKS Checks / Slopes and Linear Functions

 * TUESDAY, NOV 18 || **Objective:** To review key topics from previous six weeks and have students demonstrate a thorough understanding of foundational principals of graphing and functions. || TEKS Check Review - Students will use the Review to compile a listing of the topics we have covered during the previous six weeks period.
 * Practice:** Students will recall all test-taking strategies learned for taking multiple choice questions (i.e. how to quickly eliminate wrong answers and how to think like test makers to anticipate possible detractors).
 * Calculator Review:** Graphing eqations and comparing parent functions to transformed functions. ||
 * WEDNESDAY, NOV 19 || **Objective:** To have a TEKS Check pass rate of over 80%. || TEKS Check Administered.

Fun brain teasers for students who finish early. ||
