Test Remediation
Math 8 - Solving Equations
We will discuss most commonly missed questions in class.
Students who scored below 80 are expected to meet with Ms.Taylor, one-on-one, during an RTI or club study hall period to discuss errors and corrections.
Any student who wants the opportunity to earn partial credit for questions missed is required to complete remediation with Ms. Taylor to discuss test corrections. Students will then need to answer a set of new questions to earn points toward improving their test score.
Algebra 1 - Compound Inequalities & Absolute Value Equations/Inequalities
We will continue to go over missed questions in class. Students should feel free to review and analyze their tests on their own and ask questions if they are uncertain about how to correctly answer test questions.
Test remediation will be completed on the DELTA MATH platform. Students should go to DeltaMath.com, as accessed in class on Friday, and complete the remediation assignment. Students can earn up to half the points missed on the test for their work.
The Delta Math assignment must be completed by 3:00 pm on Thursday, October 3.
Students also received an EXTRA CREDIT assignment opportunity in class on Friday. Click HERE if you need another copy of the handout.
