I have had numerous questions about grading. Going forward assignments in all classes are to be graded. However, your grade is not allowed to drop below where it was when this began. That grade was your semester grade as of March 16 (one day into the 4th quarter). You should do work in all classes with the intent of learning and the confidence that you can only make your grade better, not worse. It should also be pointed out that if students think the grade they had was good enough and they don't do passable work going forward then they will be marked as incomplete for the class. An incomplete means no credit for the semester until sufficient quality work is completed. I will still be entering grades into Skyward to track student progress. Do not be alarmed if you see your semester average decline. I still have to make sure students are completing passing work.
Daily Assignments
15 Fri - You can also do the final this day.
14 Thu - If you have missing work this is the day you are supposed to take the final.

lost two-thirds of the volume they would have if they were prisms.

11 Mon - 13.1 Volume of Prisms and Cylinders
- With the limited time remaining we are going to work on the basics of volume. Today we will be
doing volume of a prism and a cylinder.

then multiplying by the height.
