Test Prep Starts.....NOW!

OK guys. To help me get a good study packet for you, I have created a form that I need everyone to fill out for HW credit. Check the form out here. This will help me get a better idea of what we need to work on! Remember, if you ever have specific questions, feel free to send me an email at jduffy@archimedesacademy.org!

For your POW this week, I would like you to write a one page essay describing why your strategy for "Sum it UP!" is the best option. Remember, your argument has to be correct and convincing! Essays which are deemed worthy will be rewarded with 100 DUFFY BUCKS!

POW 3

OK, this weeks POW is simple. All you have to do is be able to beat this game 3 times in a row in front of me. Make sure you are confident of your strategy, because a single loss eliminates you from the running. Feel free to practice as much as you'd like. Enjoy your break, and get those Duffy Bucks!

Here is another link to the game: chat noir (the black cat in French).
