Make-Up for Six Weeks Test for Algebra & Geometry

Hello all!

If you did not get at least an 80 on the six weeks test that was taken on Thursday, November 12th, you have a chance to make it up. Here's how:

1. I have written a test in Microsoft Word that I will e-mail to you when you are ready to take the test.

2. In order to let me know that you are ready, you must e-mail me at whatsmynumber@gmail.com.

3. Expect me to send you an e-mail with the test within 5 minutes.

4. By the time I send it to you, you will have exactly ONE HOUR to take the test.

5. When you are finished with your test, you will submit your answers into the body of an e-mail in this fashion...

6. You many only submit answers ONCE, so please be sure you check your answers before sending it in.

7. Also, if you do not submit your answers within the ONE HOUR, I will not accept it all. So only e-mail me at first when you know you can devote up to an hour on the test.

8. If you get all 10 questions right, you will receive an 80. If you miss no more than 3 questions, you will get a 70. Otherwise, your score will be the number of questions correct times 10.

9. If you are doing this, you must complete this by Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 10:00 PM.

10. If you have any other questions, please e-mail me at whatsmynumber@gmail.com.

11. Good luck!

That Special Number

The number 4 is used in a lot of situations:

1. Four quarters in a football or basketball game
2. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
3. Texting
4. Golf... no, no that's a different one.

But did you know that it's the only number that when spelled has the same number of letters as itself?

4 = F O U R

(4 letters!)

Neat, huh?
