Test Corrections

I am offereing test corrections (for half credit) for the chapter 5 test, which was given the week before winter break. Since this chapter lays the foundation for our work with fractions in the next two chapters, it is important that students review and reinforce the skills and concepts from chapter 5. Here is the imformation given to student in class Monday regarding test corrections:

You have been given the opportunity to improve your chapter 5 test grade by making corrections. You may earn back up to half of the credit lost for completed corrections. If you choose to make corrections, you MUST:

• do NOT write on, erase or otherwise change your original test
• complete corrections on looseleaf paper (no spiral edges!)
• for any problem you choose to correct, you must complete the entire problem
• show your work in a neat and organized way
• complete corrections by Thursday, January 7, 2010
• turn in corrections and original test

You may use your notes, homework assignments, textbook, textbook's website (classzone.com), and review packet. You may seek help from me (before school, study hall), other teachers, parents, siblings, tutors, and friends regarding how to do problems, but the work should be your work.

Please note that test corrections will not be routinely offered.
