We will have a school wide Math contest this coming Sunday, and our class will participate in it.

The contest questions are basically from the mini-Olympic contests, so they may not be easy to solve. They provide an opportunity for students to learn something interesting in Math. There is no need to prepare for this contest.

Of course, this contest is not mandatory. If your children don’t feel comfortable to attend this contest, they may choose to skip it do anything else in the class.

We won’t announce everybody’s test scores. We will just award the winners.

The winners will be chosen based on students’ regular school grades. In other word, several groups will be formed based on their regular school grades. We choose winner(s) from each group.

Today we reviewed what we have learned in Chapter 9. We went through each section.

For those students who came in late or who have not learned certain parts, either in Chapter 9 or earlier chapters, it is up to you to make up for those parts.

We will have our mid-term exam next week. It will be a close-book test.

The week after the exam, our class will participate in the school wide math contest. More detail will come later.

For this coming Sunday, we will do a review of what we have learned for this semester, getting ready for the mid term exam the week after.
