class discussions prepared to discuss the reading. All of my classes will continue to read our class novel and

Applied Math with Mrs. McKenzie
This week we are continuing to work on scale factor and problems involving scale factor. Students will be
having a quiz on friday over the eight vocabulary terms in their notebooks as well as problems involving
calculating scale factor and solving for unknown side lengths of similar figures. Please check infinite
campus on a regular basis to ensure your student is completing assignments. I have a handful of students
that have not turned in their assignment that was due on Friday. If you have not viewed your student's
report card, please speak with your student as those were given out last week. I hope everyone has a great
week.
