Happy Friday the 13th!
Your only homework this weekend is to relax and get plenty of rest. Remember to bring a book on Monday for post-MCAS reading and have a good breakfast Monday morning so you can do your best on the test.
Couple of tips to remember on the day of the test:
1. Read each question carefully.
2. Underline key words and information, especially numbers and units.
3. Make sure that you understand what the question is asking, and reread it until you do.
4. Take your time, so that you don't make silly calculation errors.
5. Use the reference sheet and ruler they give you if you need it.
6. Check over your work when you are finished.
7. Show all of your work when answering open-response questions.
8. Don't try and do everything in your head; if you do your work on paper, you are more likely to not make mistakes and get the answer right.
9. If you are not sure how to do something, try to eliminate answers by seeing which ones it couldn't be.
10. Never, ever leave an answer blank. You do not lose points for a wrong answer.
You are all ready for this. Let's prove to the state of Massachusetts that we are all Math Superstars!
