You Have Your Unit Test Tomorrow!!!!!

On Friday the 2nd, you will have a Unit assessment that will cover exponents, perfect squares, powers of ten, order of operations, and integers. The assessment will be given via I/A on the computer and it is roughly 25 questions. The best way to prepare for this assessment is to not only know everything from your study guide, but to also get a good night sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and come prepared to class.
