Notes from Mrs. Caso

The ClassZone link on the right brings you to the main page for the text book. If you click on the arrow by Student Tools it will expand to show 2 options.

If you click on Test Practice it brings you to a page with a map. Click on Ohio and you go to a page that has several options. Take a Chapter Test will allow you to practice a chapter's materials and then tell you how you scored.

This is a really good way to review for the final exam. Pick a chapter that you had trouble with and do the problems until you get a satisfactory score. Then move on to another.

The Goals and Vocabulary on the left are from all 6 chapters that we have covered so far. That's why the list is so long.

Quotes

Psychologists subject an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to an experiment:

Each of them is locked in a room for a day - hungry, with a can of food, but without an opener; all they have is pencil and paper.

At the end of the day, the psychologists open the engineer's room first. Pencil and paper are unused, but the walls of the room are covered with dents. The engineer is sitting on the floor and eating from the open can: He threw it against the walls until it cracked open.

The physicist is next. The paper is covered with formulas, there is one dent in the wall, and the physicist is eating, too: He calculated how exactly to throw the can against the wall, so that it would crack open.

When the psychologists open the mathematician's room, the paper is also full of formulas, the can is still closed, and the mathematician has disappeared. But there are strange noises coming from inside the can... Someone gets an opener and opens the can.

The mathematician crawls out. "Rats! I got a sign wrong..."
