These are the "areas for growth" we were being quizzed in:
Algebraic equations basics
Why we do the same thing to both sides of an equation
One-step addition & subtraction equations
One-step multiplication & division equations
Two-steps equations intro
Two-step equation word problems
Linear equations with variables on both sides
Linear equations with parentheses
Analyzing the number of solutions to linear equations
Linear equations word problems
Linear equations with unknown coefficients
Before we started, it said the exam should take 15-20 minutes. I plugged right along in about that time frame ... until the test got hung on my very last question and I couldn't complete it. Aargh!
Then, I went to check on the kids, who were taking the test on their own computers.
So the good news is they each got 90 percent plus on the test. The bad news is it took over an hour apiece.
Yes, getting it right is the most important thing, but we've got to light a fire under it, at least a little bit. Might be time to pull out the flashcards, lol.
CHANGES: Today, thanks to an article in the Seattle PI, we learned about a video NASA just released showing 20 years' worth of seasonal changes. https://youtu.be/wQ3i3grY2Ps
The time shown is two decades, from September 1997 to September 2017, condensed into 2 ½ minutes of viewing.
Notably, the polar ice caps and snow cover ebb and flow with the seasons. The varying ocean shades of blue, green, red and purple depict the abundance, or lack thereof, of undersea life.
