Algebra 2 – Worksheet Lesson 5-2 Practice C – Have them choose 3 problems from each of the three sections and also attempt the word problem on the worksheet

Mathematical Applications - Have them work on the Create your Test worksheet.  You should not be working together and all sheets must be turned in at the end of the period.

Pre-Calculus – Read section 4.3 Right Angle Trigonometry.  This section is a review for almost the entire class.  Complete each of the checkpoint exercises after the examples.  For the second period work on pg. 276 #57-64
